Title: Pray Without Ceasing
Memorize: When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Luke 22:40 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Luke 18:1-8 (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:
There’s a general saying: “A prayer less Christian is a powerless Christian”. This saying is true.
Many people want to have a better relationship with God, cause positive changes in their world, make unpleasant situations turn around for good, and even be able to perform miracles, yet, they are unwilling to pay the price.
You have to live a consecrated life powered by consistent praying to be able to do all of that.
A life of prayer is indeed a blessed one. In the story of the widow in our text for today, there are many lessons we can learn.
One, the judge avenged the widow of her enemies simply because, by her prayer, she compelled him to.
Two, this woman did not change her prayer she was consistent in her request.
Many people gamble with their prayer lives by not knowing or not asking for the specific things they need.
As you ask in faith today, may you receive blessings beyond your wildest
imaginations, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Action Point:
Pray Until Something Happens (PUSH) today.
