Put away your idols
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14
If you have honored anything whatsoever above God, you have an idol. It could be your job, money, or your pastor anybody whatsoever you meet first or consider more important before God, you have idolized such a one.
God gave us a commandment that we shall not have any other god except him alone. To have a god is not limited to worshiping a crafted image. You could have an idol and you may be unaware of it.
The Bible gave us so many accounts where God neglected the children of Israel when they had other gods they worship. They will pray to God but God will not answer their prayers until they had to forsake their strange gods. 1 Samuel 7:4-11.
What have you have honored than God, let go of them today, remember our God is jealous. The Bible have given us an evidence that having an idol can hinder God from answering our prayers.
Prayer: Lord Jesus help me to let go off every thing that I have idolized in my heart in Jesus Name.
