Filling bowls with prayers

I want to encourage you to pray each day by seeking first God’s kingdom and praying for an open door for your involvement in the Kingdom.

Follow me for a moment: Revelation 5:8 speaks of bowls that represent the prayers of the saints. These bowls are full. Why are they full? It’s because God’s people are praying daily, fervently, and consistently. When the bowl is full, it is brought before God. I wonder if God does not them tip the overflowing bowl over and pour our prayers back out in the form of abundant blessings?

Do we really pray for daily bread and financial needs. I wonder if we are filling this bowl up in consistent prayers. I wonder if some of us do not pray daily about our finances because it if we did – we would be convicted about tithing the full 10%.

What prayer has God yet to answer? I wonder if the reason is because we are not fervent about it. Is that bowl of a particular need being filled with the prayers of the saints? For some reason I doubt it.

Is God using you to bring people into the Kingdom. Are you first seeking the Kingdom or is it an occasional prayer? If it is not daily, it might take a while to fill up that bowl.

May we learn to start our day seeking the Kingdom, walk in consistent prayer, and fill bowls worthy to be taken before God's throne.
