TOPIC: WHY UNANSWERED PRAYER? 1:Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 36, Day 1: Sunday, 28 August, 2022. TOPIC: WHY UNANSWERED PRAYER? 1:

“6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and  supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

BIBLE READING:

Isaiah 59:1-3.

“1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened,  That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.

2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden  His face from you, So that He will not hear.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity;  Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.”

This week we will be focusing on “Reasons for Unanswered Prayers”. Yes we pray, we seek the face of God but it seems God is not responding nor showing any signs of hearing our prayers. Today, we will start with the first reason which is Sin. I will encourage you all to give diligent time to study Isaiah 59 from verse one to the last verse. Many things seems to be right to us today which God sees as sins. Most importantly is how we use our month, speaking lies as if it’s normal. We think it’s smartness to deceive others by saying what we will never make attempt to do. We call it wisdom or some times white lies, all these are sin. God is against it. Most times we finish from the presence of God and start sinning right from the service, God is seeing it all. We sometimes believe fornication, adultery, stealing and anger are what is regarded as sin, it’s beyond that brethren. When you promise and failed intentionally it’s a sin. When you commit to do something and later turned the person down, it’s a sin.

The scripture says, God’s ear is not too heavy to hear us, neither is His hand too short to save us but we pray in sin, live in sin and eat in sin. Killing for money, revenge or inheritance are all sin. Going after other women/man when you have yours it’s a sin. Deceiving others to punish them is a sin. With these attitude and more, God’s ear will be turned away from one, I pray this day, may you receive grace to overcome that sin standing against your prayers in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Search for that sin in your life and work against it by all means and God will release your respond to prayers.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
