Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

James 5:17-18 NIV

​

God has given you prayer as your weapon to withstand whatever fights your progress. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

​

Even if we don’t believe it, the enemy knows the power of prayers.

We see many examples of the power of prayer in the bible. James 5:17 shows how Elias, subject to like passions as we are, exercised his authority and prayed earnestly that it would not rain on the land, and it did not rain for three and a half years. Again, he prayed, the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

​

God is attentive to your prayers, so as we continue to walk in our “Year of Spiritual Emphasis”, let us stand on the wall and use the power of prayers to declare the will of God over our lives and that of our families, friends and the church.

 

Remember, you have the power to change your situation through prayers. Use it!
