FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 18:1-8 (KJV)
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
We are looking at another crucial topic today, titled, “Importunity in prayer.” This is a very deep and powerful concept that can deepen our prayer life and relationship with God. So many people like to be in the presence of God but do not know how to start and what to start with. They rise and fall in prayer and because of that, they do not really go very far with God. What does importunity in prayer mean? It can be defined as persistent, urgent and bold prayer where one continues to ask and seek God’s intervention without giving up. Importunity in prayer can also be said to be constant and insistent demanding.

Dearly Beloved, the case of this widow in our Fire Scripture today can be termed importunity in prayer. This widow did not give the unjust judge a breathing space. She prayed from morning till night, the same prayer point, no variation, no tiredness, “Avenge me of my adversary.” verses 4 and 5 say, “And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.”
Dear Reader of this devotional, continuing to pray despite delays or lack of immediate answers will definitely trigger Heavenly response. There are times too that God wants to test your faithfulness and genuineness and know if you are just paying lip service. Your heart too must be attuned to your request. A lot of people have lost great opportunities, just because they could not tarry a while longer in the place of prayer. They would strike a bit then give up, not knowing that the next strike could do the trick. By the time they give up and come back again, it takes much longer for anything to happen and the enemy will go and reinforce, coming back stronger. But continuous bombardment will weaken the stronghold of the enemy and you will have your victory. The resolve of the widow not to give up made her to triumph.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Every enemy of my laughter, die, in the Name of Jesus.
- Every enemy of good things in my life, run mad and die, in the Name of Jesus.
- Anywhere evil meeting is holding to demote me, death, scatter it, in the Name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Let God arise and let my head be lifted up, in the Name of Jesus.
- Power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, come upon me by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
- Jesus, come with solution into my situation, in the Name of Jesus.
- Agent of shame and disgrace, carry your load and die, in the Name of Jesus.
