DOMINION MANDATE DAILY DEVOTIONAL

BE CONSTANT IN PRAYER

BIBLE READING: ROMANS 12:1-12

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Gen. 1:26 (NKJV).

To function effectively in the Dominion Mandate, one must bear in mind constantly that he lives in two worlds; first, the spiritual world; and second, the physical world. What happens in the physical world is first determined in the spiritual world. The tool Christians apply to shape or influence the events on earth is prayer. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16 KJV).

Dr Myles Munroe defined prayer as: Earthly licence for heavenly interference.This implies that God can do nothing on the earth without the cooperation of mankind. Any influence or interference from the supernatural realm on earth is only legal through mankind. Your pathway to the great accomplishments you have purposed for this year will be charted in the place of prayer. Your protection, your sanctification, your wisdom and your faithfulness in stewardship will all be sorted out in the place of prayer. What then does this demand of us? “Be constant in prayer” even as advocated in Romans 12:12.

Rick Warren lends a voice to this advocacy; “The more you pray, the less you will panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You will feel more patient and less pressured.” Resolve firmly this beginning of the year to shape the outcome of the rest of the year through constant, fervent and effectual prayers. Join the prayers and fasting in your local church in this season, and programme the rest of your year in advance.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray that the anointing for effective prayer will come upon you and your household.

Ask that fresh dew from heaven will revive the prayer life of members of your local assembly.

Pray that God’s hands will rest upon your spiritual leaders; also pray for the political leaders in your State and Nation.

CONFESSION:
The fire upon my altar will not go dim. I will pray effective and fervent prayers without ceasing.
