MEDITATION
PSALM 5:1-7.
Some revelations on prayers
1. Some levels of prayers vv1-3.
a. Meditations or desires v1. Proverbs 10:24b and Isaiah 65:24 show that God do grant some meditations/desires without asking. So, mind your meditations and thoughts.
Q Can you think of a case in the Bible where mere desire was granted without prayers?
b. Worded and vocalised prayers v1.
The prayers are worded but none is hearing except the petitioner. An example was Hannah, I Samuel 1:13. Some desires will not be granted until you ask Matthew 7:7.
c. Voiced and audible prayers v3.
This requires voicing out your requests to God in such a way that others may hear, Jeremiah 33:3.
d. Crying to God v2.
This involves seeking and knocking the gates of heaven with passion and strong intensity.
Q Apart from Jesus at Gethsemane, which other example do you have in the Bible?
e. Prayer of confession of faith/praise vv4,6, Romans 4:20.
Q Give an example where Judah resorted to praise when it appeared they did not know what to do again, and eventually praise brought the victory.
Note Different needs require different levels of prayers. If one does not produce result try the other level. God has promised to answer our prayers of faith. Prayer can do whatever God can do.
2. Prayer quenchers
vv4-7 list some actions and attitudes that make prayers of no effect. What are they?
Thank and praise God for the privilege of prayer and answers to previous prayers🙏.
Ask God to give you more Spirit of prayer that will move you to another level of prayer life🙏
Take authority and bind the spirit of coldness and prayerlessness in your life🙏
Command the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn all prayer quenchers in your church🙏
