DAY 42 - A House of Prayer or A Den of Robbers





Today’s Reading: Matthew 21

(Please read Matthew 21: 1 – 46 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

“It is written,” Jesus said to them, “’My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a ‘den of robbers.’” Matthew 21:13

Jesus asked me a very challenging question to ponder, “Is your church a house of prayer or a den of robbers?”

He said, “If it is a house of prayer then there will be much fruit and not like the fig tree which withered. There will also be a lot of prayers in that church and people love to pray and always gather to pray.”

“If it is a den of robbers, then it will be fruitless. There will be lots of ill treatments to my servants and people do not like to pray.”

Dear Lord Jesus,

Please help us to be a house of prayer. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
