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.

SUNDAY, 17TH  SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.RAIN OF IDEAS FOR PROSPERITY PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" (Joel 2:23, 28 KJV). The Bible records that Abraham became very rich in cattle,silver and gold. But how did he become outstanding and outshine other bussinessmen? Through the rain of divine ideas by the Holy Ghost which came in response to his giving. Abraham dug wells for his cattle instead of them going about. By divine inspiration he knew what to do to get fatter and fresher cattle and sheep. Isaac also got the secret of irrigation by the re...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES!

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE ."The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." (Luke 18:11 KJV). There are good ways to praise God and also wrong ways of doing it. Indeed high praises open doors before God but the man in the verse above praised God and his door was closed. Why? Because he did it in a wrong way. Never praise God in an attempt to intimidate and condemn others. Do not ever engage in praise and thanksgiving to show you are better than people around you. High praises ought to be with a deep sense of humility to God i.e it is by grace and not by your own effort. When your praises makes people get offended at God as if God is partial it is wrong. This is common with testimonies during thanksgiving, some believers make it look as if others are not serving God enough. ...
