Grace For You Today!
18th September 2025
The Father of Glory – Your Friend makes you a fountainhead!
Scripture
“And He said to them, ‘Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, “Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him”’”
Luke 11:5-6 NKJV
Insight
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He unveiled two dimensions of prayer:
1. Closet Prayer (Luke 11:2-4):
• Focused on God as Father.
• He cares for our needs for He already knows our needs before we ask Him
• He forgives our sins.
• He protects and delivers us from evil.
• He gives much more than we ask.
2. Stand-Out Prayer (Luke 11:5-8):
• Focused on God as Friend.
• This prayer is not for self, but for others.
• It is offered even at odd hours.
• It persists when all possibilities seem closed.
• It leans on God’s faithfulness as a Friend.
Example – Abraham, the Friend of God
Abraham interceded for Lot, his family, and the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah. His prayer stood out because it was not self-centered but a bold plea for others. That is why God called Abraham His friend.
Call to Action
Beloved, allow the Spirit of God to put specific people on your heart. See their need. Pray earnestly for them. Seek their welfare as your own. For it is written:
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.
Do not say to your neighbor, ‘Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,’ When you have it with you.”
Proverbs 3:27-28 NKJV
🙏 Prayer
Father of Glory, thank You for making me a fountainhead of blessing. Teach me to pray not only for myself but also for others. Place Your burden in my heart for those in need. As I stand in the gap, let Your mercies flow through me to the lives of many.
Confession of Faith
I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
I declare today that I am a fountainhead of grace and blessing.
I stand out in prayer because I pray not only for myself but for others.
The Holy Spirit directs my intercessions, and Jesus my Friend answers faithfully.
I overflow with love, mercy, and compassion. Amen! 🙏
Praise the Risen Jesus
