Mark.14.38 - Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire." [MSB]
"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing" ~ Martin Luther
Prayer is one of the strongest discipline of our walk with God. Prayer brings us to the place of strong union and fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Daily devotional prayers is key to winning the daily battles of life. Do not leave your life to chance as a Christian. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling of stronghold. Prayer increases the spiritual sensitivity and alertness of the believer. Delegating and neglecting prayer as a daily discipline puts you out there for troubles and danger as a Christian. Your spirit will become weak and ineffective when you neglect prayer. It is dangerous to always delegate your prayer to your pastor. Cultivate the habit of daily fellowship with the Lord through prayer. Prayer builds in us inner tenacity and boldness for exploits in life. Prayer gives us illumination and revelation of God's Word, prayer gives us upper hand over the issues of life on daily basis.
Do not be too busy to pray, do not allow the blessing and the work of this life make you too busy for prayer.
You can not be watchful without prayer, prayerless christians are almost always careless about their choices and decisions in life. Not praying puts you directly into a life of the flesh and produces weak spirit, soul and body. People in the flesh are also known as carnal christians who make life decisions based on feelings and impulses, such folks are not led by the spirit of God. The easiest way to be in the flesh is to neglect prayer. Prayer is a necessity for daily victory. Prayer is not only done on Sundays and midweek services, prayer is a note of victory in your spirit, soak yourself in prayer before you leave your house. If you can get time to eat, then you can get time for prayer, if you can get time for social media, then make time for prayer.
Do not be a fire service Christian who only pray when in trouble. We pray not because we have problems, we pray to increase the bond of fellowship between us and the Holy Spirit. Come to the place of prayer. Prayer produces victory over all the battles of life. Prayer is the only antidote to temptation, the body will always be weak, fight the laziness of the body, fight excuses, fight tiredness, fight all kinds of issues that will take you away from fellowshipping with the Lord through prayer. Pray everyday and everywhere, take charge of your territory through Sustainable prayer.
May you come to the place of fellowship with the Holy Spirit through prayer, may the Lord deliver you from all works of the enemy and make you wiser than all your enemies, be strong in spirit, soul and body in Jesus name.
Watch And Pray
