QUALIFICATION OF HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL

DATE: 7TH MAY 2021

TOPIC: PRAYER OF THE SAINT

READING: REVELATION 5:8

POINT: And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Revelation 5:8 KJV

MEDITATION

Trusting God’s Timing

“Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” (Revelation 5:8)

Have you ever prayed for something that seemed to take a long time for God to answer? Or, have you ever prayed for something, and the answer came so quickly that it almost scared you? Sometimes we don’t believe our prayers can be answered so quickly.

In chapter 12 of the book of Acts, James the apostle had been beheaded, and Peter had been arrested by Herod. Then we read that “constant prayer was offered to God for [Peter] by the church” (verse 5). God immediately answered that prayer, sent an angel into the prison, and the doors literally opened for Peter to walk out of jail.

Then Peter went to the house where the church was presumably praying for his deliverance. Peter knocked at the door, a girl named Rhoda answered, and seeing it was the answer to their prayers, she went back to the men of God to tell them that Peter was at the door.

“Bros…”

“Quiet. We’re praying. ‘Lord, deliver Peter. . . .’ ”

“Hey, bros?”

“Don’t bother us. We’re praying for Peter!”

“bros!”

“What?”

“Peter is outside! He’s standing at the door.”

These great men of faith didn’t believe God could answer their prayer. But eventually they let Peter in. Poor Peter—God could get him out of prison, but Peter couldn’t get himself into a prayer meeting.

God hears and stores our prayers. Revelation 5 talks about a bowl of prayers in heaven: “Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (verse 8).

No prayer is wasted. Each one is duly noted by God and answered at just the right moment.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, perfect us in our weakness, strength us to be more faithful in you, that we may counted among the saint in Jesus name, Amen!

QUALIFICATION OF HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL

DATE: 6TH MAY 2021

TOPIC: PRAYER IS COMMUNICATING WITH GOD

READING: GENESIS 5:23-24

POINT: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Genesis 5:24 KJV

MEDITATION
An Ongoing Conversation

“So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:23–24)

Did you know it’s possible to pray the most beautiful, eloquent prayer ever prayed and not have it go any higher than the ceiling?

Sometimes we are filled with sin. Maybe it’s unforgiveness, or maybe it’s a sin we have never confessed. But that sin is like a barrier between God and us. It is like being on a phone call with God and having the battery go dead.

Maybe you’ve allowed some sin to work its way into your life, and it has brought your prayer life to a halt. If you want to reconnect with God again, then you will need to confess your sin. The Bible tells us that “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

I love the story of Enoch, who “walked with God; and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). This simply means that every day, Enoch would get up and take a walk with God. He did this for many years. But one day God effectively said, “Enoch, we’re closer to My house than yours. Why don’t you come on home with me?”

God wants a relationship with you, and prayer is communication with Him. It’s an ongoing conversation that you can have with Him all day, all afternoon, all night long—and all life long. Like Enoch, you can walk with God day in and day out, year in and year out, a decade in and decade out. You can walk with God in your younger years, in your middle years, and your older years.

And then one day the Lord will say, “Come on. We’re closer to My house than yours. Why don’t you come on home with Me?”

PRAYER 🛐
Oh Lord set our hearts on fire, Guide our footsteps that we may work with you, as you servant Enoch, in Jesus Name, Amen!

QUALIFICATION OF HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL

DATE: 3RD MAY, 2021

TOPIC: PRAYING IN UNFORGIVINGNESS

READING: EPHESIANS 4:31-32

POINT: Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 4:31 KJV

MEDITATION
How Unforgiveness Hurts You

“Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

If you’re someone who holds grudges, if you keep score and can’t let things go, then you need to know something: You will suffer in life. You also will see your prayer life come to a screeching halt.

Forgiveness is the key to all healthy, strong, and lasting relationships. That’s why we must realize how important it is to forgive. Jesus said, “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God” (Matthew 5:23–24).

Maybe you’ve decided that you won’t forgive someone who has wronged you. Guess who will be the one to get hurt? You will. Harboring resentment and unforgiveness will hurt you more than the person you’re refusing to forgive. If you want to be healthy and vibrant spiritually, then you must learn to forgive.

Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us” (Matthew 6:12).

You may think they don’t deserve forgiveness. But do you? Do I? No, we don’t. Our forgiveness doesn’t hinge on forgiving others, but forgiving others should hinge on God’s gracious and generous forgiveness toward us.

The forgiveness that comes to us from Christ is based on His merit and on His death and His love for us. If we know anything about what Christ has done for us, then we should forgive others.

The Bible says, “Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).

Forgiven people should be forgiving people. And if you want to be healthy and vibrant spiritually, then you must learn to forgive.

PRAYER
Lord, we trust in you, with you God all things are possible, Lord Jesus Christ, our days are evil oh God, help us, strength us, give to us a meek heart to forgive others in Jesus name Amen!
