Pray without ceasing. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:17
The art of prayer is one that every believer should endeavour to master.
Prayer is a two way communication between man and his creator. (Copy and
tweet). It also allows for one to constantly
reach out to God during times that are good, bad and ugly. (Copy and tweet).
Having ministered for some time now, I am quite used to
hearing prayers that are mostly need oriented. However, I do believe prayer transcends
beyond a person’s needs. (Copy and tweet). It also solidifies the value of the
relationship they have with God. It is this relationship that guarantees a person
success in whatever they do. Your skills, talents, opportunities might get you
whatever you desire, but it is God that grants the power, peace and the prosperity that comes with it. (Copy and tweet).
Luke the writer recorded over ten times the prayer lifestyle of Jesus in his book. I am not surprised at all as his book is full of the
healing God performed through Jesus. I believe he wanted us to understand the
sole method by which Jesus operated in the anointing was through prayer. (Copy
and tweet). The ever-increasing prayer and connection between himself and God
was the hit that produced the power for divine manifestation. Selah!(Copy and tweet). When one relates to God
through prayer, the reward has often been the enormity of the out pour of the anointing
by God on such a person.
The efficacy of prayer is much seen when it is based on the
word of God. Just praying without the backing of the word to
me seems empty. Without a continuous and a sustaining prayer lifestyle, the events
of life will break you. (Copy and tweet). Your greatness as a person is
encapsulated in the process of prayer. The power to command and possess is
given to any prayerful person. I believe the very day Adam refused to commune
(pray) to and with God, the devil gained access into his domain. To be a casual
prayer person is very dangerous. (Copy and tweet). The devil will seek to
destroy you with swiftness so you don’t reawaken that power again.
I don’t believe prayer has any method. For me, prayer is
prayer, but it is most effective when done in the name of Jesus. (Copy and
tweet). You can pray when at work, eating, bathing, at any place as long as the
name of Jesus is involved. The enemy wants you to believe that there are
special people chosen for this purpose. It could be true, but if Jesus prayed,
then you too can pray. (Copy and tweet).
