1 Thessalonians 5 verse 17: ‘Pray without ceasing.’
You are welcome back to our discussion on why you need to develop your prayer Life. Yes, the development of your prayer Life is of great importance to God and it should also be of great importance to you. This should be so because a lot of things are dependent on your prayer Life. I believe that you have been blessed by some of those things mentioned in our last lesson. Today by his grace, I will proceed by sharing with you some other reasons why you should grow and build your prayer Life! If you are ready for this? Here we go!
3. So as to realize the potential of your prayer Life. Your prayer life has a huge potential just like Africa has a great potential. But the truth of the matter is that many people are underutilizing their prayer capacity. I want you to know that your prayer Life is much more powerful than you think. This is why you need to develop or cultivate it. So if you are going to realize the potencies, possibilities, privileges, and power of your prayer Life, you must take it seriously your prayer Life.Jam5v16.The potential of your prayer Life is huge and enormous. This is why you need to develop your prayer Life. Your prayer life will help you to be what you could be but you are not yet! It will help you to do what you could do but that you are not doing yet. It will also help you to get to where you could get to but you have not yet gotten to. So it’s time for you to rise up to this challenge and call. Will you start doing so from today?
4. So that God’s purpose can be fulfilled here on earth. The reason God can hardly do anything for humanity is because there is no one praying. Eze22v30; Isa62v6-7.This is why you need to develop your prayer Life so that God can work through you. One of the legal ways God can be involved in the universe is through our prayers because our prayers give him the license to operate or intervene. So my dear friends if you don’t want God’s purposes to be delayed you need to be up and doing in your prayer Life. This is why you need to be a praying believer so that God can work mightily through you. Are you ready to take your prayer life more seriously? Are you ready to walk with God? I pray that this will be the beginning of a turnaround in your prayer Life.
