MFM Daily Devotional for 19 January 2022 MESSAGE
Prayer is pouring one’s soul out before God, making supplication, pleading with the Lord
and a two-way communication between God and you. From our Fire Scripture, our Lord
Jesus made us to understand that prayer and supplication without appreciation or
thanksgiving is not complete.
Paul admonished us in today’s memory verse to render our prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving, not with murmuring and complaining. Murmuring and complaining are the
enemies of answered prayers. In the book of Exodus, the Israelites murmured and
complained instead of rendering thanksgiving to God for who He is. As a result, God wiped off that generation of grumblers.
The three aspects of prayer becomes an equation because when the three come together
they become an unbreakable force for the devil, but provides an easy access to the throne
of grace. Hence, God is hallowed and exalted.
Thanksgiving is a spiritual fertilizer. What fertilizer does to a farmland is the same thing that thanksgiving does to a man’s soul as it hallows and praises God for what He has done and will yet do. Isaiah 12:3 says that with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation, and not with murmuring and complaining after prayer. It is very important that our prayer, supplication be irrigated and fertilized with thanksgiving. You disarm the devil with your prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving. When these three forces are put in place at the altar of prayer the devil becomes weak and powerless, but when murmuring and complaining are in place the devil rejoices.
These spiritual trio guarantees continuous flow of God’s blessings as you appreciate Him for who He is, so that you can experience the completion of what He has started in your life and family.
