THEME: SUPPLICATION

Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

INSIGHT

-The one who entrusts his/her cares to Christ instead of fretting over them will experience the peace of God that guard him from nagging anxiety. Christ invites us to come to Him with our labor and burdens which weigh down upon us, and He promises to exchange this with rest (Matthew 11:28). As we seek Christ earnestly through supplication during our trying moments, our prayers precipitates Christ’s sure peace.  

SUMMARY

Supplication is a spirit from God that enables believers to travail in prayer through grace. Supplication is a type of prayer that engages the mercy of God. It is simply begging or asking God to release an answer to a request. It is more than petitioning but suggests an intensity of earnestness extended prayer not to gain merit by the abundance of words but to fully transfer the burden of one’s soul into God’s hand. Supplication is calling God when we are troubled and He is faithful to answer our requests (Psalms 86:6-7). The Lord heard king Solomon’s supplication and after he completed the construction of the temple God appeared to him a second time, and promised to make his kingdom an everlasting dominion founded on the Davidic covenant, if he and his descendants keep God’s commandments (1 Kings 9:1-7). Supplication in the spirit enables us to rely on the power of God’s might especially when we are fighting spiritual battles. When we have sure faith in God and depend on Him entirely, we become strong in our weaknesses for His power rests upon us. We therefore need to put on the whole armor of God that we may stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18). The spirit of supplication is complimented by the grace of God that encourages us to pray in the spirit and have victory in Christ Jesus.
