If you believe that you already have a breakthrough and victory in prayer, then start praying for your brothers and sisters!

Greetings to you, dear readers of “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! God is faithful to His Word. God is faithful to us because of His boundless love. God desires to see His children being satisfied and fruitful in the things they do. For it to happen He has provided us with an opportunity to communicate with Him in prayer, to draw from His wisdom and power. For some time we have been talking about the fact that the will of God is for men to always pray and not lose heart!

What are we going to do with the truth we have heard – the truth about the importance and crucial nature of prayer? We must change! First, we need to ask God to help us to pray constantly. Second, we may ask other people you consider to be strong in prayer to pray for you and help you put your prayer life in order. There is no shame in asking someone to pray for you.

I remember a period in my life when I had lost a desire to pray; it seemed boring and my prayer seemed lifeless. And for some reason I wasn’t able to change it. I realized that I was experiencing a crisis in my prayer life. I called my oldest brother and told him about my failures in this area; I was reading the Bible, but to no effect; I was praying, but with no results so I was losing the desire altogether. After hearing me out, my brother told me to continue to pray and read the Word anyway and promised to pray for me so that my prayer life would regain life and that I would regain the desire to pray and read the Word. And it worked. One week later everything changed; my hunger and love towards God and prayer returned to me and I once again enjoyed the time I spent with God.

So, be honest in this area. If you have problems with prayer, ask some strong believers to pray for you. You will see the situation change. If someone has ever asked you to pray for him and you have told others about it, judging him for his weakness and spreading rumours about him throughout the church, do not do that again! God hates things like that. It is shameful to spread rumours about others and judge them for things they have entrusted to us; things like that bring division among believers. In Proverbs we can find a list of things that are an abomination to the Lord:

«These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren» (Proverbs, 6:16-19).

If you believe that you already have a breakthrough and victory in prayer, then start praying for your brothers and sisters and help them. Join them in prayer, pray with them so that powerful prayer becomes the norm in the Body of Christ.

I wish abundant God’s blessings!

Till tomorrow!

    Problems try and purify our faith. Quite often the Bible compares sufferings with the furnace used for the purification of metal that burns up all the dross. “In this your greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter, 1:6-7).

    It is quite often that we oppose changes; we resist any changes because we are creatures of habit. If something is new and unusual for us, we don’t like it. Is that the truth? Whatever is unusual to us scares us. We love the comforts of life and if something upsets our comfortable position, we start to fight it with all of our strength. Nevertheless God calls every person to go through changes.

    Do you often experience different hardships? Are you facing trouble everywhere you go? It can either be a spiritual attack or you are being disciplined by God Himself. How can you distinguish what exactly is going on with you? Let’s try to answer this question. A believer must learn to see the difference between spiritual warfare and God’s discipline. In different life situations we must firmly know whether we are disciplined by God or we are dealing with a spiritual attack that requires of us to get engaged in spiritual warfare.

  • Piety II

    Calling upon God – means to have habitual prayer life. Prayer helps us to draw near to God and releases His provision, because He is close to all who call upon Him. We also talked about the fact that our provision depends not only on our ability to call upon God, but also on how much we fear God. To fear God means to avoid evil, to do good, to seek peace and to follow it. God’s provision and blessing is the reward of those who fear Him. We also pointed out that God has secrets that are meant for dedicated people who call upon His Name and walk in the fear of the Lord. Besides all of the above, it is important to know that dedication to God is impossible without the love for Him.

  • God’s Word is spiritual food

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    God wants us to be strong and healthy not only physically, but also spiritually. We do not need ‘spiritual fasts’. We can have physical fasts in order to gain spiritual power. But in order to become spiritually strong, we should daily feed on the Word. If you do not do it, you get weaker as a believer; you get weaker in your judgments and in your faith. When we get weaker we must ‘eat’ spiritually; that is what God’s Word is there for: «…as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby» (1 Peter, 2:2).
