KEYS TO ANSWERED PRAYER (I)
MEMORISE
READ
Isaiah 1:10-15
[10]. Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
[11]. “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?” Says the Lord. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.
[12]. “When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts?
[13]. Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
[14]. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
[15]. When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
EXPOSITION
One of the benefits we have as Christians is the privilege to pray unto God with the assurance that He hears us. What a wonderful privilege for us! Virtually, everybody on earth prays, but the content of prayer, the methodology and unto whom they pray differ from person to person. The case of David and Goliath refers here. Goliath invoked his gods while David called on the Living God, YAHWEH. Whom do you pray to your parents, boss, husband, the devil and his demons, or the Living God through Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 10: 20)?
Of a truth, he who doesn't pray becomes prey (Matt. 26:41). It is better to pray so as not to be preyed upon. Another issue that concerns prayer is whether the prayer is acceptable or not. Not all prayers are acceptable to God (cf. Isa. 1:10ff). Acceptable prayer is the prayer that is heard and answered. Many people are on the mountains, praying to God, but their prayers aren't reaching God. Are you sure your prayers are reaching God? Check yourself. When you pray, do you have the assurance in your spirit by the Spirit of God that such prayers have been answered? Are there no things you need to settle with the Lord, now? God detests prayer of the sinners. Turn to God today and secure your victory in answered prayers.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, give me the right attitude to prayer.
2. Lord Jesus, I repent of every known and unknown iniquity in life that hinders my prayers to God from being answered.
3. Pray to be led by the spirit of God.

Thank You Almighty Yahweh for another chance to live, another day to be happy and above all, to serve You.
I want to walk with You, for I am in agreement with You, My Lord. Please guide me by Your side so that I don't stray out.
May You help lead Your people to You so that they walk by You and follow the right path, shown to us by Your begotten Son.
By Your side it is safe, secure, endearing, zippy and unfathomable.

'Close, But ...' — Mark 14:57-59
Key Thought
Yes, Jesus did say something like this accusation. Yes, it was confusing to those who heard it, even his closest followers. But, Jesus never said such a thing about the literal Temple in Jerusalem. He was talking about his own body, which they would nail to the cross. God raised Jesus from the dead after three days. The point is that Jesus' enemies couldn't make charges against him without "false testimony." He was innocent and yet they were determined to put him to death. Nothing is quite as brutal or corrupt as religion that loses its way.
Today's Prayer
Guide us, dear Father, into the way we should go and keep us from the blindness of our own selfishness. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Matthew 27:40
Finally, some men stood up and gave this false testimony [against Jesus]: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, made without human hands.'" But even then they didn't get their stories straight!

NEW MONTH PRAYERS AND PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS
1. I am partnered with the Problem Solver, and I refuse to be intimidated by the cares of this life. No detail about my life escapes God’s attention. He is concerned about what concerns me. He is capable, and He cares for me; therefore, I will rest.
2. I receive the peace of God. His peace guards my mind against worrisome thoughts. I have the mind of Christ. Therefore, my mind is calm, well-balanced, and free of doubt, worry, or fear. I speak peace to my body, finances, household, and all that concerns me in Jesus’ mighty Name.
3. I am unkillable. As long as my assignment is not done, I am invincible. I am prospering in my health, in my mind, and in my finances. Prosperity is my prophetic destiny, and no weapon formed against it will prosper.
4. I am a territorial commander of money. I am a giver and a distributor of money. I control money from the spiritual realm. Therefore, I will never lack resources.
5. I am the architect of my life, and my words are the blueprint that I use to build. Right now, as I speak, I am being raised to another level. Favour is increasing in my life. My problems are employed for my promotion. My setback is a setup for my success. I rise above every circumstance because resurrection power is working inside me. Hallelujah
6. I am a worshipper. Worship is my nature, my culture, and my lifestyle. I create an environment of intimacy where God is celebrated, honoured, and adored.
7. My mind is being elevated by the Word of God. I am reasoning at a higher level. I do not doubt, fear, or get confused, because the Word of God takes pre-eminence in my life.
8. I refuse to struggle! All of my efforts are backed up by the grace of God. I am a success in all I do, because grace is working in me, for me, and with me! Glory be to God!
9. The Greater One is inside of me. Therefore, I am great. I am who God says I am. I am full of wisdom. I am a leader in the marketplace. I am a person of influence. I am bold, fearless, and confident. Everything He is, I am!
10. I am perfectly righteous, perfectly loved, and perfectly holy, not because I act perfectly, but because I am the recipient of God’s perfect grace.
11. I am a Word practitioner. My mind is saturated with the Word of God. Therefore, I think the way God thinks. I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, and I refuse to lower my level with negative thinking.
12. My body is under the administration of the Word of God. Every cell in my body is responding to the healing agency of the Word. Life is coming to me now! Health is coming to me now! Death is removed from my flesh, and I receive my healing in the Name of Jesus!
13. My mind is my most expensive real estate. Only fully qualified, high-quality thoughts are allowed to take residence. No negative squatters are allowed. My mind is prosperous. My life is made. And I am reasoning at a higher level.
14. I speak something that is so extraordinary to happen in your life, a new wave, a new shape, a new movement, a new drive. Let there be a moving of pieces that are not in place to put you in alignment, so a blessing that cannot be reversed will come over your life. Poverty is banished from your life! Increase is yours, in the Name of Jesus!
15. The blessing of the Lord makes me rich without regret. I am a grace collector, a money magnet, a magnet for resources. I deviate from the prescribed order of lack and generational poverty, and I live in an atmosphere for prosperity.
16. Prayer is my priority. I remain in constant fellowship with the Lord. Therefore, I cannot be caught unaware. I am a proof-producing Christian, and I live a life of consistent progress and victory.
17. I am led by the Spirit. I do not speak evil of anyone, and I am not moved by the negative words of others. I love because I am a lover. I walk in love, far above the realms of offence.

19. The Word is growing mightily in me and prevailing. I am not helpless or hopeless. I can never be confused or disadvantaged, because I have God’s Word for any situation.
20. I have the God-kind of faith working in me. My spirit is loaded with the Word of God, and when trouble calls my name, faith answers. My faith is sufficient, and it will not fail.
21. In this year of the God-kind, I am drawing closer to the Master. I have returned to my first love, and I enjoy spending time talking to Him. Miracles come easy for me because they are birthed out of intimacy.

KEYS TO ANSWERED PRAYER (II)
MEMORISE
READ:
Philip. 2:12-18
[12]. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
[13]. for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
[14]. Do all things without complaining and disputing,
[15]. that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
[16]. holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
[17]. Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
[18]. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
EXPOSITION
One wonders why there are lots of praying and prayers on the mountains, in the valleys, churches, homes, etc., today. Open your spiritual eyes and you would see that there are lots of unanswered prayers flying about in the space. There are so many factors that could be responsible for this. We need to examine some of these and how to make our prayers answerable to God.
Every child of God must guide against bitterness and strife. Answers to so many beautifully prepared prayers have been hindered because of bitterness and strife. The Holy Spirit is warning believers to jettison quarrels, or any form of dispute, but it is a pity that only a few understand the implications of this. One of the tools the enemy employs to truncate blessings and snatch the benefits that accrue to careless believer's prayer is bitterness and rancour. Apostle Paul vehemently warns against this in Philippians 2:14. Added to this is the fact that any unholy activity before and after prayer, is a bad odour to God, and it prevents answers to prayers. So, be wary of dispute, anger, bitterness and so on, for an answered prayer. Prayer and sin don't go together (Isa. 59:1-2).
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord Jesus, from today, help me to take sin far away from my life so that my prayers can be answered.
2. I receive the grace to do Your will rather than praying amiss, in Jesus' name.
3. The spirit of bitterness, anger and fight that are robbing people of their blessings after serious prayers, catch fire in Jesus' name.
HYMN FOR TODAY:
1. More holiness give me, more strivings within:
More patience in suffering, more sorrow for sin:
More faith in my Saviour, more sense of His care:
More joy in His service, more purpose in prayer.
2. More gratitude give me, more trust in the Lord
More zeal for His glory, more
hope in His word;
More tears for His sorrows, more
pain at His grief;
More meekness in trial, more
praise for relief.
3. More purity give me, more strength to o'ercome;
More freedom from earth-stains,
more longings for home.
More meet for Thy kingdom O
Lord, would I be,
More fruitful, more holy, more
Saviour, like Thee.
Amen.
