Activate Your Receiving Mode!

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24

Many see prayer as a means to shoot God with request. On the contrary, Prayer is a receiving mode for believers.

Prayer is a place of receiving than asking. Why? Because God knows the end from the beginning. He is always far ahead of you. It is not at the point where you pray that God starts making arrangements for your deliverance.

It's not your request that puts God to work. Your request is the password for receiving.

Have you had those moments when you prayed for something and it came almost Immediately (e.g finances)? It had been arranged long ago. Your prayer brought you into harvest.

Though some receiving might take longer time but it comes at the place of prayer.

That's why Jesus said "ask and it shall be given..."

Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God. Do you know why it's so important?

Because when you place premium value on prayer, it shows how much trust you have in God. It is an expression of Reverence and Submission.

Remember the Scripture says "God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble."

While many see prayer as a place of labour, I often see it as a place of harvest.

At the place of prayer, fueled by the revelation of the word of Grace, you harvest into your spiritual barn what Jesus made available at his resurrection.

If at the point of praying, your spirit doesn't resound harvest, tarry more.

The prayer that avails is the prayer that comes with conviction.

Whatever you ask, believe you have it and you shall receive it.

Prayer Point:

Father, I ask and receive strength and quickening in my spirit to be faithful with my prayer life in Jesus name. Amen

Be Confident You Have It

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24 (ESV)

The one reason you will always be confident you have what you ask is because you are confident in your heavenly father.

Many of us doubt God. We go to God with the mindset of "let me see how it works out."

If you want to experience more of God's grace (divine favour) in your life, you must be full of faith.

God is interested in every area of your life. No matter how insignificant it may be. If you have a cordial relationship with the Holy Spirit, you would understand this truth.

As simple as you striking your foot against a stone, forgetting your change with a bus conductor, or whatever you can think of, God is concerned.

Even the very things you don't count important in your life, God is concerned.

How much more those things you count as big; Job, relationship, marriage, career, ministry, children, etc.

The scripture says "cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

You need to develop your confidence (faith) in God. Spend time with the Word. Stuff your Spirit with spiritual food and renew your mind to always see the possibility in all situations.

I am pressed to address this area more because it is the key. God is ever ready to do more than you are willing to ask and he is ready to give more than you are willing to receive.

"Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock." Isaiah 26:4 (ESV)

Prayer Point:

Father, I am sorry for those times I lost confidence in your ability to save me. Help me to always fix my eyes on you and not exalt my challenges in Jesus name. Amen.
