TOPIC: Conditions for Getting Prayers Answered (5)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Kings 15–16; John 3:1–18

MEMORY VERSE
Ezekiel 14:5 – That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me, through their idols.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
The altar of prayer is a place of openness for God to move.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY
The fire of the Holy Ghost shall clear away all idols in your heart, in the Name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE
Ezekiel 14:1-6

1 Some of the elders of Israel came to me. They sat down to talk with me. 2 The word of the Lord came to me. He said, 3 “Son of man,[a] these men came to talk to you. But they still have their filthy idols. They kept the things that made them sin. They still worship those statues, so why do they come to me for advice? Should I answer their questions?

4 But I will give them an answer. You must tell them this: ‘This is what the Lord God says: If any Israelites come to a prophet and ask me for advice, I myself will answer their questions. I, the Lord, will answer them even if they still have their filthy idols, even if they kept the things that made them sin, and even if they still worship those statues. I will speak to them in spite of all their filthy idols.

5 This is because I want to touch their hearts. I want to show them that I love them, even though they left me for their filthy idols.’

6 “So tell the family of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Come back to me and leave your filthy idols. Turn away from those terrible, false gods.

MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:

Another condition that must be met to get your prayers answered is that you must remove idols from your heart. When there is an idol in your heart at the altar of prayer, it simply means that you are putting something above God. Your idol cannot and will never answer your prayers. So, if you want to get your prayers answered, you must give up your idols. God will not compete with them.

In our Fire Scripture today, some of the leaders and influential men of Israel were guilty of idolatry in their hearts. In other words, they were not loyal to God and His words but had allowed other things to take priority over their love for the Lord. These men rejected God’s purposes and desired an ungodly lifestyle. For this reason, God refused to guide them or answer their prayers. In fact, the Lord’s response will not be what they expected. It would no doubt be a harsh punishment, just as their actions deserved.

Dear reader of this devotional, those who look for God’s guidance will find no help from His Spirit if their hearts are filled with ungodly desires and their priorities are not focused on Him.

Take for instance, a woman that is not properly married to a man but is already co-habiting with him and after some months now decided to go and enquire from the Lord, if the man is the right man for her. Such a woman is a joker. This is because, having already given herself to the man, God cannot be involved. She will receive answers according to her deeds.

To receive answers from God, you must eliminate every idol from your heart. God told Prophet Ezekiel these words about the leaders of Israel who came to Him, “Since those people had idols in their hearts, should they even pray to me at all?
That is why we need to be very careful.

PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Altar of iniquity in my heart, collapse and scatter, by the blood of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus.
2. Holy Ghost fire, pass through my heart and cleanse it, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Every spirit of covetousness, get out of my life, now, in the Name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. Power that darkness cannot insult, enter into my life, in the Name of Jesus.
5. Father, let Your fire and authority baptize my life, in the Name of Jesus.
6. Arrow of bewitchment, backfire, in the Name of Jesus.
7. Power that overcomes battles, possess my life, in the Name of Jesus.
