Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional;

Keep Praying!

- Tuesday July 1st, 2014-
Pastor Anita

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:1).

Someone once lamented, “As much as I pray for my country, it appears that the wickedness, especially from the political leaders, keeps increasing.
CanGod still intervene? Is there need for me to keep praying?” The Word of God admonishes us to pray without
ceasing (1 Thessalonians5:17).
In Luke 18:1-8 the Lord Jesus
emphasized the importance of
persistence in prayer. This is because being the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you can change anything
through prayer. The divine power necessary to cause that change is in you; it was deposited in you the moment you received the Holy Spirit
into your life (Acts 1:8).Moreover, James 5:16 (AMP) says, “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” Continue to pray for your
country. The Lord is the God of all flesh, and there’s nothing too difficult for Him to do (Jeremiah 32:27).
He’s the God of possibilities, and He’s givenyou the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus and effect the changes you desire. Therefore, in praying for your country and other nations of the world, let these thoughts be in your mind.The God to whom we pray, reigns and rules in the affairs of men: “... to the intent that the living may know that themost High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and
giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men” (Daniel 4:17). Consider what He did to King Nebuchadnezzar,who ruled
his kingdom with absolute power.
The Lord deposed him from his glory, and drove him out from among men, to dwell in the wilderness. God also
restored him to office after he
repented.God has power over every nation and sets in authority anyone that He chooses (Romans 13:1).
When He tellsyou to pray for your country, it’s because He’s given you the authority to decree a thing and have it established (Job 22:28).
Intercede for as long as it takes for peace, continued progress, and stability in your country. Pray as though it
depended on you alone to effect changes in your nation, and the truth is, it does; because you’re the salt of the earth.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for teaching me to pray without ceasing for my country. I thank you for your divine
power and wisdom that’s released, even now, upon the leaders and political office holders for them to do your will, and for righteousness to be established in the land and in the hearts of men, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
