TOPIC: WHY UNANSWERED PRAYER? 7: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 36, Day 7: Saturday, 3rd September, 2022. TOPIC: WHY UNANSWERED PRAYER? 7:

1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who  did not fear God nor regard man.

3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 

4  And he would not for a while; but afterward he  said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God  nor regard man,

5 yet because this widow  troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”  

6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust  judge said.

7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

8 I tell you that He will  avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the  Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the  earth?”

Our last point for the topic, “Why Unanswered Prayers?” Inconsistency in Prayer, Yes, Inconsistent in Prayers. As a parent you will understand better what i’m saying here. When a child is in need of a gift, you know how they pester you until you say yes, if we can apply this to our prayer lives none of our responses will be delayed. As we pray fervently and committedly our prayers will be answered. We pray about a need and relent in our prayers, we quit early enough to let God think we don’t need it desperately. As the saying goes, “Quitters are Losers” when you quit in prayers, you lose in receiving the response. Many would have received their result but they give up so early in the place of prayer and start searching for alternative way.

Our Bible reading was an illustration from Jesus Our Lord and Saviour. He was speaking about the consistence of the woman. How she was desperately disturbing the Judge until the judge got tired of her request and attended to her. Likewise, When Daniel was praying to God, it took twenty-one days before the angels could respond to him ( Daniel 10:10-13) unlike previous times when he received responses immediately. What if he has given up in praying? What would have become of him? Are you still praying to God on that same point or you’ve concluded to seek for other means? God is never tired of hearing our prayers, he’s looking for men and women who will remain strong in the place of prayer. Don’t be tired, don’t give up. Your prayers will be answered in Jesus name, you will begin to harvest your responses, no more delay in Jesus precious name, Amen.

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.
