BIBLE PASSAGE: MATTHEW 18:18- 20
KEY VERSE:
Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven*_ – Matthew 18:19
In today’s passage, the Lord Jesus taught what I refer to as the most powerful tool with which the believers work. The name *’Emmanuel’* depicts the era of God’s presence with us. For one to be anointed means the person has the presence of God. The powers of evil cannot withstand God’s presence. Matthew 18:20 establishes that this important divine presence is always present where two or three persons gather in the name of God. Again in Psalm 68:1, the scripture says that when God arises, His enemies (which includes the enemies of His will in our lives) are scattered.
The presence of God which makes His enemies to scatter is capable of scattering whatever is standing against His purposes and intentions for our lives. Jesus further stresses that when we gather in His name in agreement as touching anything we ask in prayer, the same shall be done.
The first thing is gathering in His name, the next is having an agreement about something, and the other is asking God of that which we agreed on. This means the presence of God will act on what we agreed and ask for. These are the most powerful tools the believer works with.
Believers agreeing together in spirit is a powerful unstoppable force. That is why Satan fights Christian families, he doesn’t want men and women to be unified in marriage. The devil wants to be fussing and fighting all the time because that will hinder our prayers (1 Peter 3:7).
Prayer of agreement is one of the most powerful tools God has given us as believers. Jesus Himself guaranteed that it will bring results every time. It is most especially powerful in marriage, when a husband and wife come into agreement. Let us therefore agree in prayer as a family, as a church and as a people concerning whatever that is before us. God will definitely establish our heart desires. Always ensure that there is harmony among those praying. Let your prayer be based on God’s word, fix your mind on the word of God, act on your faith as if it is done, by speaking the desired end result.
ACTION:
Put your power tools to work and see answers to your prayer.
PRAYER:
_*Lord, I confess that I have not been adequately equipping myself properly in prayer. Help me to apply these power tools in my life to get results.
