JUNE 7TH – CAPSULE 7
TOPIC: DON'T STOP PRAYING
BIBLE TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 12 VS 23 – Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. But I will teach you the good and the right way.
Prayer is a very essential tool in our everyday lives as Christians. We need to activate a praying heart wherever we go, for it is the will of God for us to live by and to walk in. The Bible records the lifestyles and patterns of various praying men and women of God who through their consistency received answers from the Lord at all times.
The book of James 5 vs 16b reveals this much when we pray continuously. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. Indeed it accomplishes much in various areas we channel them to. Don’t stop praying for yourself, your family, your career, your education, your marriage, the church, those God place under your care and those God place above you. 1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17 also sounds it clear – ‘pray without ceasing (Be consistent in prayers)’.
Prophet Samuel revealed that when we fail to pray for others we have sinned against God. Christ instructs us to pray also for our enemies. Men will disobey, disrespect and insult you as they do to God, but it is not in our hands to determine their fate but we are all instructed to interceded on their behalf with hope of their turnaround. When we stop praying for such individuals and they die in sin, God will hold us responsible for their deaths, because we disobeyed His direct commands.
Prayer: Lord, give unto me the grace to pray without ceasing in Jesus name.
Insight: Don’t stop praying, instead increase your hours of prayers in love. Your prayer might save one soul and a million tomorrow (generations).
Lord help us not to relent in our prayer life for ourselves and others
