PRAYING TO RECEIVE
12TH , AUGUST 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 13-15
TEXT: Numbers 6:22-27
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you
shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you, And give
you peace.” ’
27 “So they shall [b]put My name on the children of Israel,
and I will bless them.”
KEY VERSE:
“And they shall put my name upon the children of
Israel; and I will bless them.” - Numbers 6:27
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Blessings come from God through prayer of faith.
THE MESSAGE:
The tragedy of the modern age is its
concept of man’s self-sufficiency that makes him believe solely in his works.
He arrays his technological feats and dreams of even more ambitious attempts at
higher prospects. Man’s reverie of blessings and prosperity outside his Creator
leads him to start a project of producing an elixir of life, to live forever.
Prosperity and success come from God alone.
Instructing His servant, Moses, God reveals the unique type of petition from
the children of Israel that would get His attention. First, the prayer must be
offered by the truly dedicated messengers of God. Second, the demands must be
presented to God. Third, the benediction sought must be for His children.
Finally, the name of the Lord must be honoured as the chief requirement for
answer to requests.
One of the Lord’s greatest gifts to man is
the access to heaven through supplication. When in deep water, we earnestly
call upon the Lord and He delivers us. Every genuine believer is a priest who
can ask for heaven’s support, supply and succour. While a sinner can pray, he
cannot enjoy all the virtues, riches and power of heaven except he or she
pleads for forgiveness of sin and salvation.
It is the desire of the Lord that we depend
upon Him in prayer for His blessings. He has raised up His Church as the salt
and light of the world to pray for the lost in this perilous end time. He
desires that we ask of Him, spiritual and physical blessings so that those
around us would also acknowledge Him as a loving Father who meets the needs of
His children who honour Him.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
