Praying Without Ceasing

 Praying Without Ceasing 

1Thess.5.17 -18-  Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

One thing that is very pertinent to our vision and mission is consistency.  God is delighted in us and in our consistent walk with His. Like the breath we breathe, it's secret is consistency.. The moment your heart stop pumping that's death.  Studying the word of God is like our daily meal, the human body never cease to ask for food and water,  so our spiritual life will never survive without the word of God and prayer.

Jesus emphasizes this in Luke 18:1-8 with the story of the widow who got her request from the ungodly judge because of her persistency. We are encouraged never to give up regardless of how we feel per time. Prayers is not about when it feels comfortable.  Men ought to pray always and never faint. Our God is consistent and persistent.  He has never taken a break or got a leave from being God. Even though as humans, we might have been created weak and vulnerable, there are some things that cannot be compromised because they hold and control our lives and existence. 

Prayer is never to stop. The fire on the Altar is meant to burn 24/7. It's the symbol of life and power. We must keep breathing non-stop as long as we live.  The day you give up on reading and studying the word of life, our spiritual man begin to die. The day our prayer life and meditation begin to dwindle, we start to depreciate spiritually.  These acts are knitly connected to the sustainability of our lives and faith. They are mandatory and necessarily important for all believers to scale through this turbulent world.

1Tim.2.8 - I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

 

Readings: Daniel 10:1-13; Luke 18:1-8; 1 Thess. 5:14-28

Prayer:

Oh Lord my Father give me grace to be consistent in prayers, never to faint until I get the desired results for all my prayers in Jesus name.  Amen
