Deeper Life Daily Manna 18th January 2021 Message:
Sometimes, we think that we receive answers to prayers because of our fervency or intensity of praying. It could even become something of pride to some believers that when they prayed for themselves or for other people, they received answers.
All these are, of course, good, but not nearly good enough alone to attract answers to prayers from God. More than anything else, Christians receive answer to prayers because of the nature of God and our Lord Jesus Christ. We should always direct our prayers to our Father in heaven through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He assures us that when we do this, we will receive answers that give fullness of joy.
God loves and appreciates us because we love Jesus Christ. We have no doubt who He is, where He came from and to where He has returned. We express our faith in Christ as the One who alone has power to save us from sin. We believe His every word, including when He is foretelling the future. It is in Him that we find peace in all circumstances.
Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary grants us direct access to God. We no longer need to go through any other medium, or count on our merit, sacrifice and service, or solely on our faith and fervency in prayer. Instead, we come to the Father confidently knowing that Jesus has made us acceptable to God. The Father grants our requests, not for our sake, but because of His dear Son Jesus Christ. You must, therefore, make Him your Lord and Saviour, to be assured of answers to your prayers.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Jesus is the key that unlocks the treasure trove of heaven.
