Scripture: Colossians 4:2
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Prayer is an institution through which we establish the will and purposes of God on earth. Without a life of prayer, a man cannot make eternal impact in the lives of many. Throughout scripture, we find prayer to be one of the channels through which God and men had interactions.
Even though prayer is very important, many have not understood the subject. Prayer goes far beyond asking God for things or approaching God when there’s trouble. In fact, if you are that kind of person that run to God only in time of trouble; you will be frustrated one day.
In as much as God is merciful and gracious, there are laws that govern the spiritual and the physical realm. Your weight in the spirit determines the impact you can make in this life which will have eternal value.
One of the ways to build weight in the Spirit is to be devoted to prayer. This kind of prayer is not for God to supply your needs or deliver you from some kind of trouble you have gotten yourself into. Even though God will grant your requests if you ask according to His will, there’s a higher place of prayer you must get to. That place of prayer where you cause changes in the lives of people and where you bring nations to their knees before Jesus Christ; your prayers must go beyond yourself. Begin to think about others and pray for them.
Learn to pray for your church leaders, your family and friends, your nation, and even your enemies; Jesus said “pray for your enemies…” What are you going to be praying about – concerning your enemies? Pray that God will have mercy on them and reveal Himself to them: that they would know the Lord and walk according to His ways.
Pray for the salvation of their souls. If you have been desiring a miracle from the Lord, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ – receive it!!
PRAYER
