TOPIC: Conditions For Answered Prayers (3) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 23 April 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 24, 2 Kings 25, 1 Chronicles 1, Matthew 15, Matthew 16.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 18:9-14 (KJV)
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
MEMORY VERSE: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Prayer is what moves God to do the impossible if you can pray.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: God shall, incline your ears and answer your prayer so that your story can change to glory, in the name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
We still want to examine further another prerequisite for answered prayers. We started this message three days ago. The prerequisite we are looking at today has to do with humility in the place of prayer. Beloved, coming to God in prayer requires you to come as a child comes to the father or mother to make a request. If a child comes to the parents with arms at akimbo, voice raised in a commanding tone, making a request, the parents will never acknowledge such a child. In fact, such a child will incur the wrath of his parents further.

In the Fire Scripture for today, two people went to the temple to pray. The first one, the Pharisee, was full of himself and was justifying himself in prayers as if he was the one that was going to answer the prayers by himself. He, in the place of prayer was calling the other one names, and he was telling God that he fasts twice in the week and how he is paying tithes, he was talking as if the fasting was for God and that tithes had been put in God’s handsPrayer journal template
But the other man, the Publican did not even as much as lift up his face to heaven. He had already condemned himself in the place of prayers. You must recognize your place. You are the less and the less comes to the greater for blessings. You can’t come to the one that is greater than you, and you begin to form bigness.
Hannah faced provocation in the place of prayer but was humble enough to go out of the place of prayers with a long-time awaited miracle. God can do same for you; be humble enough to receive your miracles.
