HUMILITY: GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYERS
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 9TH JUNE 2017
TOPIC: HUMILITY: GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYERS
SCRIPTURE: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land - 2 Chronicles 7:14
MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 33:3
DIGGING DEEP: Everyday on the surface of the earth many cry unto God in prayers but sadly not many recieve answers. Infact it is not all of these prayers that God hears. This is because, with God actions are more relevant than words (1 Samuel 2:3). That is to say that God does not respond because the words used in praying is sugar coated, nor because of the power of oratory of that individual, neither because of the long hours spent in praying. If we know how to do all of these and humility is lacken, result and answers will still be absent.
Our anchor text says that " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." From this we understand that:
1. Been called by His name and you lack humility you will struggle to get answers: This means that you might be called a prayer warrior or labelled a prayer machine, a pastor, bishop and so on but if you are haughty at heart you won't recieve answers to prayers.
2. Humility is a powerful link to getting the ears (attention) of God.
3. Humility makes our prayers powerful and commands answers
Beloved, if we must get undeniable access to God and answers to prayers one major key is humility. Humility grants you acceptance before God. Humble people easily get Divine attention, hence they recieve answers cheaply.
Deficiency in humility equals deficiency in answers to prayers.
The lifestyle of humility is a necessity to all who crave for answers to prayers and for those who wants to be guided by God.
Humble people do not have care of anything else other than God. Humility fuels trust in God, trust empowers faith, faith stimulates God to answer you. Faith becomes meaningful in the atmosphere of humility because humility removes resistance and engenders grace (James 4:6).
Faith triggers the power of God and the power of God explodes in the atmosphere of humility.
God’s presence easily permeates an environment of humility. It is an atmosphere of humility that engages the Almighty. It is an entrance into an exciting life with the Lord. God saves the humble, but brings low the proud. Pride fuels arrogancy, it makes you trust in your intelligence, your knowledge, your position, your wealth and makes you gradually loose trust in God. You must guard your heart jealously to avoid been robbed of the blessings of God by the seed of pride. Nothing shuts one out of the presence of God like pride. No matter the results you have experienced, no matter the manifestations (miracles and move) of God you have seen whenever you come to God be humble.
Finally prayer without humility is waste of time. Praying without humility is like shouting in an empty space and your voice re-echoing back to you.
Remember today that when humility is lacken answers to prayer will be lacken.
PRAYER: O Lord any seed of pride that as been eating up my answers to prayers i destroy it now in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: If you are not humble, you will fumble and stumble - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Isaiah 11
