THE VOICE OF PRAYER

THE VOICE OF PRAYERS
In the past few lessons we have been talking about the Voice of the Lord. We have seen how powerful the voice of God is. You too can speak with the voice of God. God has sent His word to us. We are to unleash the power in the word by voicing it. Prayer is the Word of God on the lips of faith. The word of God that has entered into your spirit and transform your soul will have the same effect in your mouth as it has in the mouth of God. If you speak the word of God from a heart of faith in prayers, you will have the same result like God has when He speaks.

Prayer changes thing. In our text today, An evil trend was going on. It was not the best time for the church. The devil had incited the society and their leader against the Church and they started a campaign of assassinating the leaders of the church. They succeeded with James. and their blood lust increased hence they went further to take Peter. You see the devil will not stop at one evil. If nothing is done to stop him he will continue to wreck havoc. They were planning to execute Peter. But there was an intervening factor this time. The Church prayed and God intervened.

Jabez too had a very rough time. the trend continued. even though he was a heir of Abraham but the pronouncement of his mother was prevailing over the blessing of his progenitors. and He was not finding it funny. But one day, Jabez rose up and put an end to his misery. He remembered the covenant of God with Abraham. He remembered that he was a heir of Abraham and  he cried to the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. He demanded what he wanted and God heard him

This is where many of us have been getting things all wrong. We expect things to change by themselves. We complain and gripe when we don't see that and ask where is God. Why did God not intervene. But the truth is that God was actually looking out for you to do something about the situation. He has sent His word--His most potent weapon of creation and sustenance--to you (Heb 1:1-2).  It is now left for you to wield it by voicing it. When the church prayed,there was an angelic intervention because prayer is the voicing of the word of God and angels are programmed to obey the voice of His Word.

Jabez was a heir of Abraham but his condition did not respect that fact. it was when Jabez stood on the covenant to pray that he got result. stand on the word of God and change your life for good. You can put an end to any evil trend in your life. start voicing the word of God today in prayers and you shall see the desired results
