TOPIC: Prayers That Opens Doors (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 8 February 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 28-29
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 1:12-20 (KJV)
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
MEMORY VERSE: “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.” – 1 Samuel 1:15-16
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
The wealth of the unbelievers shall be added unto you.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
YOU SHALL NOT LABOUR FOR ANOTHER TO EAT. YOU SHALL POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Prayer is the act of asking God for specific things. It is a two-way action of asking and receiving. In 2 Kings 4, we read the story of a wife of one of the sons of the prophet whose husband was late. She came to Elisha to seek help concerning the creditor that wanted to take her two sons as bondmen because they couldn’t pay the debt her husband owed before his death. Elisha asked her what she had in her house and she said a pot of oil. He prayed for her and told her to borrow vessels, not a few but plenty from neighbours. All the vessels she got were filled to the brim until there was no more vessel. Again in the book of 1 Samuel, we read about a woman called Hannah who was loved so dearly by her husband but she had no child. Hannah was childless and her husband’s other wife Peninnah made mockery of her. She remembered the name of the Lord and called upon Him and her prayer was answered by God.

Hannah’s prayer was well targeted. It went straight to the heart of God and there was a breakthrough. Are you looking for the fruit of the womb? Are you in any dire situation and need divine intervention? Have you prayed and it seems that there is no way? I want you to know that the God of Elisha is still at work, He will answer you speedily, in the name of Jesus. The woman that inherited debt from her late husband became a millionaire. She met the prophet of God and there was open heaven.
There are prayers and there are prayers. When you look for God where you can find Him, the testimony of open door will appear. Your testimony too shall appear, in Jesus’ name. You shall not pray amiss, in Jesus’ name.
At this juncture, you may ask, “What should I do for my prayers to open doors?” Here are some important keys: First, you have to make Jesus your priority. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Surrender your life to Him. Second, become a word addict and a prayer warrior. Prayer is the master key. Jesus said men ought always to pray and not to faint. He started with prayer and ended with prayer. Lastly, faithful payment of tithe and offering will open the windows of heaven to you.
As you do these, all nations shall call you blessed, in Jesus’ name.
