KEYS TO PRAYING EFFECTIVELY
SCRIPTURE: Always keep on praying. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 (TLB)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer creates the atmosphere of God’s Presence around a person’s life.
Prayer connects a man with his Maker. Prayer creates the atmosphere
of God’s Presence around a person’s life. This means that to neglect
prayer is to be empty of God’s Presence.
Now, I would like you to know two key truths to praying effectively:
1. The school of prayer is the only school that is open for all at
all times. It is also a school where there is continuous promotion
without graduation.
This means that you can pray anytime and anywhere; you can pray
while driving, in the bathroom, kitchen, in the airplane, and even in
the ocean. You can also pray in a standing, sitting, kneeling or lying
position. There is continuous promotion in the school of prayer,
because, as you pray, you will continue to experience momentum and see
astounding results.
2.It is possible to pray too little, but is never possible to pray too much because there is never a wasted prayer.
In our anchor scripture, Apostle Paul admonishes us to pray without
ceasing. The only thing we actually do without ceasing is breathing. It
means we have to pray as frequently as we breathe.
Remember this: Prayer creates the atmosphere of God’s Presence around a person’s life.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Make up your mind to pray at all times and anywhere you find yourself.
2. Ask God for the grace to embark on periodic fasts that will deepen your prayer life.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE NECESSITY OF PRAYER.
PRAYER: O LORD, I receive the grace to pray fervently, effectively, and ceaselessly. I refuse to be slothful in praying in Jesus’ Name.
DAILY READING: Genesis 41:17 to 42:17, Matthew 13:24 to 46, Psalm 18:1 to 15, Proverbs 4: 1 to 6.
AMAZING FACT: The brain operates on the same amount of power as a 10-watt light bulb.
