“PRAYER: THE HIGHEST HONOUR”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me. Evening, morning and noon I complain and moan; but he hears my voice. He redeems me and gives me peace, so that no one can come near me. For there were many who fought me” (Psalm 55:16-18).
As for me, I will call upon the Lord to save me, and I know He will! Every evening I will explain my need to Him. Every morning I will move my soul toward Him. Every waking hour I will worship only Him, and He will hear and respond to my cry.
Though many wish to fight and the tide of battle turns against me, by Your power I will be safe and secure; peace will be my portion.
PRAYER: THE HIGHEST HONOUR
Prayer is a weapon in the hands of believers. It is a handle to hold onto in times of trouble. It is a pleasure to relish in the day of joy. It is a balm to soothe the wounded soul. It is music to the spirit of man.
Prayer is a searing fire to the enemy, Satan and all his agents. Prayer is like a sceptre in the hands of the king. It is a staff of authority in the hands of intercessors and warriors alike.
Prayer is the greatest power in the world. It moves God’s hands to action on behalf of His children. Prayer is the mightiest force. To wield it is the loftiest privilege.
Church of the living God, understand that prayer is the highest honour for mortal man to be able to speak to the Immortal Almighty God. So, why then do many people shy away from the golden sceptre of prayer?
Why do multitudes of men and women refuse to take advantage of this priceless privilege? Some say they do not know how to pray. Some give the excuse that they are too busy.
A few will tell you it is not for everybody. And there are many who say they want to do it but not now. Beloved, your chief enemy is yourself, your flesh. Flesh does not like spiritual things and prayer is a spiritual exercise for spiritual people.
If you are controlled by your flesh, you will scarcely handle the staff of prayer. But if you want to break through the barriers and reach God, you can. Just tell Him about it sincerely and ask Him to help you. You are praying already!
What a great honour, what a wonderful privilege for little human being to commune with the Great Almighty God.
We are called to pray not to play. Begin the journey of prayer today in Jesus’ name. Amen!
“PRAYER IS WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, WALK ON!”
Everybody shout, “THANK YOU, JESUS!”
Shalom and good morning.
