WORDS OF LIVING WATERS DAILY INSPIRATION

Theme: The prayer of a righteous man is Powerful
( 1 Kings 17:1-6,Ps 121,Mt 5:1-12)
Beloved there is power in a faithful prayer. A prayer made in faith is capable of doing everything. Elijah prayed for the rains to stop for three and half years, and it was so. The words he uttered in faith became a reality. Elijah believed that strong faith in God can move mountains. As a man of God, he knew that he had power in him which is greater than the powers in the world.
Strong faith in Jesus is capable of doing greater things in our lives. A prayer made in faith does impossible things in our lives. Because there is power in that prayer.It is true that some of us have little faith in Jesus. In fact, I will say that we are babies in the faith. I invite you to grow in your faith in Jesus. We need to mature to the point when we believe in the transcending power of Jesus. The fact that he has the power to do everything.
Jesus is saying that if we have faith like the mustard seed, we can speak to mountains to move and they will obey us. He said nothing will be impossible for us to do.
Some of us have become doubting Thomas’ in our Christian life. We doubt almost everything in our lives. The very things we are praying for, we are doubting it. Then how can we experience the power of God in our lives? No wonder we don’t see any result in our prayers. Jesus says if we believe and have faith in him, we can do greater things than him. He has given us the power and authority to overcome all situations in life. In Christ, nothing is impossible.
We have some Christians and even some men of God who do not believe in miracles. Some of the things seems impossible for God to do according to them. But the point is, if Satan can give people power to work miracles, then how much more our God, who is powerful than Satan? Yes it is true that there are fake pastors who are not using the power of God to work these miracles. But it doesn’t mean that we don’t have genuine pastors or people who are using the power of God. Jesus can heal all forms of diseases, he can change all situations in our lives. Those who have faith in him are truly experiencing his wonders in their lives. You are not seeing anything because you are doubting too much.
Know that you have power in you as a Christian. And exercise that power and authority. Your prayer has a lot of effects as a believer. Therefore don’t belittle that prayer of yours which is made in faith. Begin to believe in the words that you utter during your prayer and know that they have a transforming effects.
May the Holy Spirit help us to always grow and mature in our faith and believe that our prayers have strong effects. Amen .
Have a Blessed Week.
Shalom. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
