6TH FEBRUARY, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION. PURITY DETERMINES ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYER.

6TH FEBRUARY, 2018.
TODAY’S DEVOTION. PURITY DETERMINES ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYER.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. You could say it this way. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.” James 5:16.

Don’t you see! It is your prayers that move the heart of God to action, and you need to be right with God. You need to be in constant  fellowship with the Lord. Did you notice that it is not the fervency that gets the answer? The answer comes from a righteous man. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, accomplishes much. The effectual fervent prayer of a man who is right with God makes tremendous power available.

A man who is pure, a man who is clean, a man who is right with God, a man who is in constant fellowship with the Lord, who is doing the right thing and keeps on doing what is right, that man has power with God in prayer. He has the ability to influence God. He has the ability to move the heart of God to action. What keeps God from answering your prayers then? You pray and nothing seems to happen. You pray and you don't get any answers from God. I am going to tell you what it is. It is the impurity in your heart.

 In Psalm 66:18, the Bible says, If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. What is the Bible saying? It is simply saying this: If there is a sin in your life and you know it (and that is the key you  know it, but you are not willing to confess and forsake that known sin in your life), you can pray until you are blue in the face and God is not obligated to hear your prayer. He is not obligated to answer your prayers.

TODAY’S PRAYER.
Lord, hep me by your Spirit to recognize, confess and forsake every sin in my life that hinders answers to my prayers.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" (1 Corinthians 10:16 KJV). Every communion table is a kind of renewing the covenant of restoration. Nothing can be more exciting to know that like a meal I can eat and drink blessing of restoration. Look at how Jesus put it Himself," Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." (John 6:53-56 KJV).  So except you keep eating the body and drink...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2.

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT, second edition) We established in yesterday's devotion that it takes more than willpower to stop worrying and that it takes four things to stop worrying. Firstly , get to know God first and secondly put God first in every area of your life.We will be looking at the other two today. 3.Live one day at a time. The Bible says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34 NCV). If you’re worrying about tomorrow, you can’t enjoy today. You will miss today’s blessings. It’s okay to plan for tomorrow, but you have to live for today. When you’re always worried about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the grace...

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY.

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Start with God. The first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning” (Proverbs 1:7 MSG). Have you noticed that once you establish a goal in your life, you start hearing people say, “Who do you think you are, you think you have money?” or “It can’t be done just like that, how can one just prosper in these hard times?” or “Forget about it, they are all thieves! Etc The antidote to the voices of doubt is listening to the voice of God. Just imagine all the critics that were in Noah’s life. “That guy Noah thinks God speaks to him, but he’s just messing up the master plan of our city by building that ark in his front yard.” The Bible tells us that Noah listened to God. What did he hear? He heard God’s warning that the world was going to be destroyed. He belie...
