CEASELESS PRAYER
Memorise
Pray
without creasing. 1st Thessalonians 5:17
Read
Luke 18:1-8,
1And 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?
KJV
MESSAGE
Every Christian should have a state of mind
that can take part in the action of prayer at any time; 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.
