Revelation of the Word:

THEME: BELIEVE IN GOD

1 John 5:14-15 NIV

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”

INSIGHT

-John emphasizes a confidence or assurance in prayer, which is based on the relationship between believers and God. This confidence is not about demanding from God, but about trust in God’s nature and promises. We are encouraged as believers to approach God with confidence, underscoring that prayer according to His will aligns us with His purposes. Our prayers should be in line with God’s will, which means seeking what aligns with His nature and purposes. This reflects a surrender of personal desires in favor of God’s plans, trusting that He knows what is best for us for He knew us even before we were born. Trust in God will increase our confidence in approaching Him. God has always been faithful unto us. He reassures us that if we believe when we pray we have our requests.

PRAYER

Abba Father, we bless Your name this day and exalt You for who You are and all You have done. There is none like You in all the heavens and the earth. You are great and greatly to be praised and no one can be compared to You. Father, today we thank You for Your love to us and Your mercies that are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness over our lives and families, oh Lord. Dear Lord, we humbly repent for the many times we have doubted even after we have asked from You, may You remove every fear and unbelief from our hearts. We pray for our children who are undertaking their final exams that You may give them remembrance and wisdom to succeed in their exams. We pray for all those who are sick and suffering in hospitals and at home that You may heal them dear Jesus. We pray for all the street families Oh God that You may restore them in every way. May You touch our hearts dear Lord and answer all our prayers and desires. We believe that You are able and that You will surely answer our requests and heart’s desires. Oh Lord may You restore and strengthen our faith in You that we may be like Mount Zion that can never be shake or moved. We look to You Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, may You do a new thing in our lives. Father we thank You and are confident that You have heard us and You will surely do it for us. We pray this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
