TEXT: “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Ps 37:4)
The truth is that many people have woken up to the reality of the need to pray while many others are praying but, the unfortunate thing is that only few of those who pray know how to provoke the release of their answers. What is the need of the effort we put into prayer when we don’t know how to provoke the release of our answers? This morning, the Holy Spirit wants to open our eyes further to one very important secret to answered prayer that many have neglected as we begin to wind down for the month. This secret is stated in our anchor scripture above which is: “The spirit of Joy.” To be delighted is to be joyful or to be excited.
Do you want speedy answers to your prayers? The word of God says you should delight yourself in the Lord. To be delighted means to get excited! Hear me! Until you are excited you cannot take delivery of your awaited answers. To delight means to express joy. Many answers are withered in the field today because joy is withered from the sons of men. The Bible says: “The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men” (Joel 1:12).
I love Bishop David Abioye, He said: “When you pray, God registers you; but when you get excited, God remembers you.” Many are forgotten today because they don’t give joy a chance in their lives. They wear long faces as though they are the only ones that have problems. Give joy a chance in your life so you can celebrate answers to your prayers before the year is over. Joy is the spiritual force with which we draw answers to our prayers for physical manifestation. The Bible says: “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3).
Do you want God to remember you for the release of your desired answers before the month and year is over? Then get excited.
PRAYER: Be imparted with the spirit of joy today, in Jesus name.
