*Read Daniel 10:10-12*
10. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
*MEMORISE:* Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7)
*EXPOSITION*
One mystery that God has deposited in the hands of His saints is the power of prayers. Prayer changes situations. It has been proved in human history that, prayer is the greatest weapon to fight any battle, be it spiritual, political, social, financial, or any other. The reason it is the greatest is that, the Object of the prayers of the saints is God Himself, who has the great power and authority to answer prayers. As Christians, we have this indomitable weapon to fight our battles against our enemies.
Unfortunately, many are tired of praying and have lost hope in prayers, because their prayers are yet to be granted by God. Jesus Christ says, '... men always ought to pray and not lose heart' (Lk. 18:1b). The Word says, 'Pray without ceasing' (1 Thess. 5:17). Do not say 'I fast and pray during Lenten period alone' or 'I will pray when I want to gain admission into higher institutions, or when I am ready for marriage, or when I need visa to travel abroad.' The Word of God says, 'Pray without ceasing'. This means pray without being weary or tired, and at all times. You should communicate with your heavenly Father, always, just as you breathe every second.
Daniel prayed and an angel from heaven was sent to give him answers to his prayers. Angels of God fought the prince of Persia, because he (Daniel) was never tired of entreating God. There are angels that bring the answers to the prayers of saints. They are around you to deliver to you, divine answers to your prayers. Be a man of prayer today, and always.
*PRAYER POINTS:*
1. Father, I receive answers to my outstanding prayers, now, in Jesus' name.
2. Father of glory, send Your angels to bring my testimonies, now, in Jesus' name.
3. Father, let Your angels bring answers to the prayers of the saints over our nation, now.
