BE PRAYERFUL

Aside following the voice of the Spirit, another way to be alert in this end times as a Christian is to pray constantly or consistently. Thus, the caution from the Bible “pray always without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Praying consistently keeps you in sync with the will of God and in fellowship with the Lord. This is what we need as Christians in days of uncertainty.  

In Mathew 26:41, we see this same instruction “Watch and pray”. As a believer you must be on guard and pray. It is important to know that being consistent in your prayer life has nothing to do with you attending a prayer meeting. There are lots of people today who attend prayer meetings but do not really make time to pray and wait on the Lord’s presence by themselves. Thus, attending prayer meetings does not mean you are “prayerful”. You must have your own regular and consistent time for prayer.  

Prayer helps a great deal in the Christian life. It makes your spirit alert and helps you to apprehend many things long before they manifest in the physical. A consistent prayer life helps you to flow in the spirit and grasp spiritual truths. A consistent prayer life helps you to avoid red flags when it comes to temptations and satanic attacks. 

Spend time to pray and let it be consistent. It contributes greatly to your growth and depth of spirituality as a Christian.

Don’t let any busy schedule derange your time of prayer. Just like any other important endeavour, make time for prayer, conserve your energy for that, and do it. Believers who remain committed to prayer will always see God’s glory and operate in God’s will.

READ: Luke 18:1, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up”.

Prayer: Father, I pray for the grace to be consistent in my prayer life, in Jesus name. Amen!
