Title: Prayer Works II
Memorize: Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, Luke 18:1 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Luke18:1-8 (Nkjv)
[1] Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,
[2] saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
[3] Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
[4] And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
[5] yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
[6] Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
[7] And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
[8] I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
Message:
Yesterday, I established that nothing is impossible for someone who prays. Today, I will add that anything is achievable for a fellow who prays persistently.
Many people pray every day, but they fail to persist with specific prayer points, even though they haven’t gotten responses concerning them.
I was shocked the day my wife told me that when we first began full-time ministry, she would pray for me for at least 6 hours every day, asking God to have mercy on me so that I would not fail Him.
This is why I don’t joke with her at all. I respect and value her because God has been answering her prayers.
She doesn’t stay in one position to do this; she prays in the kitchen, toilet, bedroom, garden, in the car while driving, et cetera.
The only time she is not praying is when she is discussing with me or having a nice time with the children.
However, I am sure that even at those times, her spirit is still praying.
My dear child, continue to pray over that matter or that person until you see a change.
The answer to your prayers will come if you don’t give up.
Key Point:
If God could change a boy like Adeboye, He can change anybody. Keep praying!
HYMN 14 – STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
CHORUS
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of
God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2 Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
3. Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
