THE REAL DEAL

Prayer is the real deal. With it, mountains are moved. As our perfect example in all things, the Lord Jesus Christ gave us a guide on how to pray. Mark 1:35.says And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Our Saviour made prayer and praying a big deal in His ministry. No wonder He fulfilled purpose and finished well. He has handed the baton to us.

I heard that research has it that the average pastor prays for fifteen minutes daily. If the pulpit prays that little, what do we expect from the pew?

1 Kings 3 told the story of two slumbering women. Verse 19 says, And the woman’s child died in the night because she overlaid it. The woman was in deep slumber and did not know when she rolled on her new born baby and killed it. Slumber? Very terrible vice!!!

The second woman was in so much slumber that she did not know when her living baby was exchanged for a dead one. Talk about labouring in vain. That is not our portion in Jesus name.

In this season, determine to pray more. Make a huge deal of prayer and praying. By prayer, awaken the giant within you. By it, get the fountain of inspiration in you flowing. We will fulfill purpose in Jesus Christ name.

Have a beautiful day.
