Dunamis’ daily devotional December 22, 2016 by Pastor Paul Enenche - There is Power in Prayer

Topic: There is Power in Prayer [December 22, 2016]

Scripture: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

Thought For The Day: When you are in agreement with the God that cannot be defeated, then you are indefatigable.

Prayer is a major secret of power. Paul the Apostle was a man of intense prayer; so, tremendous power was at his disposal, to the extent that handkerchiefs from his body healed the sick (Acts 19:12-13). That was why he said in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Pray without ceasing.

Prayerlessness is the major reason for the powerlessness of this generation. A prayer-less Christian is a powerless Christian. If there can be a revival of prayer in your life, there will be a revival of power.

How then does prayer produce power?

1. Prayer positions a person in the courts of God (1 Kings 17:1). It gives you a stand before God, and to stand with God is to stand in power.

2. Prayer brings a person into partnership with God for the establishment of the Will of God on earth (Ezekiel 22:30). When you are in agreement with the God that cannot be defeated, then you are indefatigable.

3. Prayer positions a person as a Kingdom representative on earth. When you are a man of prayer, you are licensed to speak and act on behalf of God and His Kingdom.

Remember This: When you are in agreement with the God that cannot be defeated, then you are indefatigable.

Assignments:

1. Be consistent in your prayer walk with God.

2. Treasure the Presence of God above everything else.

Prayer: O LORD, I ask for the grace to be a person of prayer. Help me, LORD, to maintain a right standing with You, in Jesus Name.
