Memorise: Pray without creasing. 1st Thessalonians 5:17
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?
Every Christian
should have a state of mind that can take part in the action of prayer at
anytime; there should never be a hindered access to our heavenly father.
All through
the scriptures, we see the results of those who prayed. Prayer is the
foundation of every victorious living. Anyone who will be fruitful, both in
life and in ministry, must be able to give priority to prayer. For any project
to be successful, it must be backed by prayer. Jesus demonstrated to us that to
get the right kind of results, prayer is the key because prayer is a tool that
helps in strengthening one’s relationship with God. The more time you spend in
God’s presence, the more you will act and think like Him. Spending time in the
place of prayer will help you align you desires, attitudes, actions and beliefs
to suit God’s will. It is in the place of prayer that you can establish a deep
intimacy and faith in His ability to deliver. It is also in the place of prayer
that you gain access to deeper revelations. The major cause of failure in many
people’s life is the lack of prayer, it seems they intentionally sleep and
allow the devil to deny them of God’s promises.
You should
never joke with prayer life; especially since you know that the God you pray to
is a prayer answering God. Prayer must not be seen as a religious exercise if
you will experience the glory of God. Ceaseless prayer is also not about vain
repetition and ambiguity; you must make yourself clear to God and not assume He
knows your problems. Of course He does; but He expects you to open up and let
Him know what exactly you want Him to do for you. Without prayer, you cannot
receive the attention of heaven because prayer is a spiritual network that
links you to heaven before help can be released to you. When you are given to
prayer, no weapon of the enemy against your life will prosper because the Lion
of the tribe of Judah
is at work in you, to defend you and disgrace all your enemies. Daniel was a
man of prayers and his prayer life was the source of his strength in God.
Through this, he was able to do great exploits in a strange land.
Those who
do not pray are always helpless. They go from place to place looking for prayer
agent. No wonder they are always falling victims in the hands of fake prophets.
Come boldly to the throne of mercy and seek divine intervention over any given
situation in your life and you will experience the awesome power of God in your
life.
Key Point:
Certain things will never be received until they are asked for.
