TOPIC: The Mystery of the Ministry of Prayer
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Daniel 10:12-13
MEMORY VERSE
Acts 10:4 “And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.”
OUTLINE: Today, we are looking at the mystery of prayer. We all know that God answers prayers. But, there are deep mysteries of prayer that we need to know and learn from. We are to know first and foremost that between the time we offer prayers and the time we come up with testimonies, there are mysterious behind-the-scene-events. This is the lesson that are to learn from Daniel’s prayer, as recorded in today’s passage.
Daniel’s prayer broke the chains of Babylonian captivity, though it was fiercely contested. While his visible enemies tried to stop him from praying, his invisible enemies tried to deny him answers to his prayers. His prayers resulted in a contest between ministering angels and hindering demons. Unanswered prayers are not always because of denial, but because opposing forces are perpetrating wickedness. Most prayers are answered in heaven immediately, while some suffer from delays caused by satanic oppositions.
This is why understanding the causes of delays will lead you to discover the secret to victory-promoting prayers. This is the lesson to learn from the delay that met the delivery of the answer to Daniel’s Prayer. When the prince of Persia withstood the answer to Daniel’s prayer, the Lord was about to grant deliverance to His people from Babylonian captivity.
It should not surprise you any longer why you are going through peculiar battles, difficulties and hardships, in spite of your prayers From Daniel’s example, you should understand that you go through such experiences because the fulfillment of God’s plan is around the corner for you. Daniel prayed. But, road blocks were mounted by the prince of Persia.
Eventually, Daniel prevailed. You too shall prevail today. God shall grant you angelic assistance, as you persevere on your knees in prayers.
