RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, MONDAY 2ND FEBRUARY 2026. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
TOPIC โจ REAL SPIRITUAL TRAVAIL โจ
Brethren, my heartโs desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved (Romans 10:1).
Before you minister Godโs Word to people, whether to an individual or to a group, I recommend that you pray fervently in intercession for them to receive the Word. Recall what the Bible says happened to seeds (the Word) that were sown into uncultivated ground; they choked and died (read the Parable of the sower in Luke 8:5-15).
The message you bear is too precious to be handled casually. You canโt share such weighty truths without first ploughing the ground in the Spirit. The right prayer is vital for the message to bring transformation. In Colossians 4:12, Paul said, โEpaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always LABOURING FERVENTLY for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.โ
The underlined phrase is from the Greek verb โagonizomaiโ, and it means to struggle, to contend, to fight; itโs as one contending for something. During such prayer, itโs as though youโre seizing lives out of Satanโs grip. You look at one whoโs yet to know the Lord or already a Christian but doesnโt take the things of God seriously, and your spirit refuses to let them remain in that state.
Therefore, you cry out to the Lord in their behalf, praying for them to be stirred in their hearts and to set their affection on Christ and His love. You pray that they walk in the fear of the Lord, guided by His Word, with their priorities aligned with His divine will. You intercede for their establishment in righteousness, their fervency in spirit, and their fruitfulness in every good work and that their lives bring glory to the Lord in all they do.
The most beautiful part is, as you pray for them this way, something happens in your own spirit. In those moments of intercessory tears and soul travail, the Spirit of God releases more grace into your life. You obtain help in the throne room and draw grace for others. Itโs how we transform lives through the ministry of the Spirit in prayer.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your grace at work in me as I labour fervently in prayer for those to whom I minister. Their hearts are prepared to receive your truth; every distraction is removed, and their affections are set on you, on things above; they are established in righteousness, fervent in spirit, and fruitful in every good work, bringing glory to you in all things, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Luke 22:44 KJV
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Hebrews 4:16 KJV
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
James 5:16-18 AMPC
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. [17] Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. [18] And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].
