DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES FRIDAY 22 JANUARY, 2021.

Topic: Unhindered Prayers

Today’s Scripture: 1 Peter 3:7, (NLT) “…Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.”

Massage: Did you know that the way you treat people has an impact on the effectiveness of your prayers? The Bible says that the prayer of the righteous person is powerful, but if we aren’t treating others with honour, kindness and respect, then we aren’t allowing His righteousness to operate in us. When we don’t treat others the way we should, it closes the door to God’s power and hinders our prayers. 

This is especially true in a marriage relationship. Marriage isn’t just an agreement between two people to live life together. Marriage is a God-ordained institution that helps us understand love and unity. When two people are married, the word of says they become one both spiritually and emotionally. This particular passage is directed toward husbands, but it applies to all believers as well. We should all treat others “with understanding” which means considering the needs of others above our own. We should always aim to treat others with kindness, dignity and respect and quickly choose forgiveness. The Bible says that the way we treat others is the way we treat God, so choose love and treat others with respect so that your prayers can be powerful and effective the way God promises!

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, I want to live in Your ways. I want to treat others with love and respect which shows that I honour You. Show me how to be a blessing to others and teach me how to make my prayers effective. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS: Our Lord Jesus Christ said all the good things you’ve done to the less privileged are directly done to the King of kings and Lord of lords. And people replied Him: “When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’ And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ Matthew 25:38-40 (NIV) Unhindered answered prayers shall be your portion in Jesus name. You shall receive abundant GRACE to treat others, especially your spouse with honour, kindness and respect, and consequently encounter mercy, favour and breakthroughs from Almighty God in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
