FAITH CAPSULE: Meditating your prayer will work as quality prayer that is fervent and earnest before God.
Psalm 64
Effective fervent prayer is earnest prayer that prevails for a believer. Fervent prayer is intensely passionate prayer. Earnest prayer is a serious intention, purpose or effort. Elijah’s prayer with result was propelled with fervent and earnest approach. James 5:16-18 described Elijah’s quality prayer of result, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” Elijah’s quality prayer was to address a special need. Are you addressing a special need with prayer that lack intense passion with no serious intention? It is time to begin to address special need with fervent, earnest prayer like Elijah’s prayer.
In one word, meditating your prayer will work as quality prayer that is fervent and earnest before God. Meditating prayer will be presented before God day and night. Without doubt, praying word before God day and night is labor, is fervent and earnest before God. In this wicked world, simply give yourself continually by meditating prayer of deliverance and preservation.
From this day, before God, with your expectation and manifestation adapt to David’s prayer by meditating as stated, “Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows-bitter words.” (Psalm 64:1-3) Meditation is not memorization. Meditating your prayer before God just like meditating the word of God will answer for your deliverance and preservation. Meditating the word of God answered for Moses and Joshua as their compass for navigation through the wilderness journey.
Joshua 1:8 recorded meditating word of God, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Evidently as meditating word of God worked in the life of Moses and Joshua it is certain that meditating your prayer of deliverance and preservation before God will bring forth manifestation.
In the life of a believer, when faith sinks, fear will rise to take place. Fear does not announce itself before it invades its victims. Fear knows no discrimination. David’s prayer of meditation was against fear when he stated, “Preserve me from the fear of the enemy.” Fear is the master of fear against man day and night while meditating prayer day and night against devil is the solution to quell fear.
In this wicked world, give yourself continually meditating word of prayer against fear and your deliverance and preservation shall come to be.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of fervent effective earnest prayer for your deliverance and preservation.
