PHANEROO~DEVOTION
7th December 2017
Apostle Grace Lubega
James 5:17-18 (KJV), Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
There is a kind of glory that settles upon your spirit because of your degree of prayer.
The degree of prayer is not measured by how long you pray but by the intensity, earnestness and fervency of your prayer.
How does this glory operate? We see it function in the life of Elijah the Prophet.
The Book of James says that he prayed “that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.” However, in 1 Kings 17:1, the Bible reveals that he declared, “As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but ACCORDING TO MY WORD.”
Elijah did not spend hours in the presence of God asking Him to withhold rain.
What happened in the spirit was that he prayed until he attained a place in God where he could decree something and it is established. It means that prayer elevates you to levels of influence in the spirit by which you function in the wisdom of God called “phronesis.”
This wisdom called “phronesis” enables you to determine the mode of action in any decision you take while beholding the end in sight. Make a deliberate decision to spend time in the presence of God.
Prayer allows you to walk in a realm of glory where you can change the unchangeable at your Word. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: James 5:16, Ephesians 6:18
GOLDEN NUGGET: There is a kind of glory that settles upon your spirit because of your degree of prayer.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom. I am mantled by the spirit of prayer. I am propelled to a deeper place in you by which I carry authority to plant and uproot; to decree and to establish; to build and to break. Nothing I declare can fail. Everything I decree must come to pass. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
