READ: 2 Kings 1:1-18
“But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a god in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?” – 2 Kings 1:3
The following are reasons why we should pray: Prayer brings God into every situation. Every time you acknowledge God in prayer, you involve God in your situation. God is offended when you do not acknowledge or involve Him. He wants you to pray to Him.
Prayer brings a supernatural element into every situation. Everything you do needs supernatural help if it is to succeed. There are supernatural reasons for many of the things that we are experiencing. If you acknowledge God in everything that you do, He will mysteriously guide your paths and work things out for you. You will see the effect of God’s involvement in all that you do.
Prayer brings a blessing into every situation. When Jesus prayed over the food, a blessing was released. Don’t you want there to be a blessing in everything you are involved with? Prayer fights the curses that are working against you in every situation. There was a curse of a lack of food in that moment. Five thousand people needed bread and fish, and there simply wasn’t enough to go round. The prayer of Jesus brought in a blessing. This is what happens every time you pray: a blessing is released.
This earth realm is full of curses. A curse is a frustration and an opposition to whatever you are doing. Prayer brings in God’s power to overturn the curse that is in the earth. The blessing that comes into your life when you pray, changes the course of everything.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: Revelation 22:3
