The Topic of Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional for 8th April 2024 Is ”Lessons From The Life Of Hezekiah (VI)”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 4, 1 Kings 5, 1 Kings 6, Revelation 9, Revelation 10
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 20:1-11 (KJV)
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying,
3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.
6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day?
9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 8TH APRIL 2024
Hezekiah learned the art of prayer. Even as a busy king, he had learned the art of staying alone with God. He learned to seek God by and for himself. When he was sick and the highly revered Prophet Isaiah came to prophesy to him that he should set his house in order because he would die, he didn’t take it hook, line and sinker. He didn’t accept it. He chose not to die untimely.
As soon as Isaiah was done speaking, he faced the wall and prayed to God. At that point, he didn’t start to cry for pity, he didn’t start writing his will, he didn’t start begging man, he turned to God who alone doeth great wonder. He turned to the One whose voice can overrule every negative voice. He went alone with God and made his petition known to Him. God answered him instantly and sent Isaiah back with news of joy. I pray for you today; you shall receive the news of joy, in the name of Jesus. God added 15 more years to his life.
Beloved, you can choose not to die anyhow. You can reject the rod of the wicked from resting on your lot in the place of prayer. Prayer can change anything and that is why the devil is afraid of a prayerful Christian. A person who can pray has nothing to fear. Corporate prayers are very good and essential but we need to cultivate the habit of staying alone with God in the place of prayer.
It is very sad and disheartening to know that some so-called believers now pay money to prophets to fast and pray for them. They don’t understand the staying power in God’s presence. For some, after the corporate prayers in church, that’s the end till another time of gathering. This ought not to be. If we must be on top as God’s children, then our personal prayer altar must be charged. We must learn the art of secret prayer; it is the secret of power.
When Jacob found himself in a mess, and he needed the hand of God urgently, he chose to go alone with God to pour out his soul. He went boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and he prevailed. We must learn to sometimes pull away from crowd and distractions into solitude to flog our destinies out with God. Men that do exploits for God do not joke with their secret place.
We must begin to learn practising God’s presence. The veil of the temple has been torn, we now do not need any prophet or seer to access God and that is exactly what Hezekiah did. I pray that God will revive our personal prayer altars, in the name of Jesus.
