1 Thesalonians 5:17
"Pray without ceasing.."
Many who have stood on their feet before the world, have failed to kneel before the feet of their Maker.
When life goes well with them they forget that feet may allow you to stand, but only knees enable you to keep on standing!
Knees that cannot bend before God have no right to stand before the world!
A man on his knees will always see further than a man on his feet, because Christianity is the only experience where knees will always be more powerful than feet.
Your feet may begin a journey towards a destination, but only your knees can ensure arrival!
On our knees we walk guided by Angelic Beings undetected by the naked eye!
On our knees the sick are healed...
The broken are built up....
The lost are found and the weak are strengthened.
Begin each day on your knees and let God show you the power of a prayerful life.
There are 7 reasons why we have been called to live on our knees as believers of Jesus Christ awaiting His coming,they are:
1: Prayer is what keeps us going
When all that we depend on
Has gone too far from our reach!
When all that we depend on
Has gone too far from our reach!
You are employed by the Grace of God,when that Job disappears,what has gone is the provision,not the provider!
By faith,prayer allows God to bless us with a different job even though it had seemed as if the previous one was all that we had!
Prayerful living perceives life through different perspectives-Where many see an obstacle,God sees a platform,where many see a dead end,God sees a breakthrough!
It is prayer that allows us to see things not as they are, but as seen by God from His position.
2: Prayer is oxygen,without it
Suffocation is imminent!
Suffocation is imminent!
You do not have to remind yourself of breathing, it is a reflex done effortlessly. However, should you stop inhaling oxygen,the worst is sure to follow - the same principle applies even in prayer.
3: Prayer is a connection of the
Human to the divine
Human to the divine
With the exception of Jesus, prayer is the only time God and man are one,two natures in one body-It is only when we continually pray that God dwells within us - Christology !
4: Prayer is life changing
No matter how frail, prayer is the only thing that converts the coldest of souls-Nothing else can - not a sermon, neither a song or a Revival seminar!
5: Prayer is spiritual power
Prayer gives the one praying power to overcome what would normally overcome him/her!
6: Prayer is priceless
Prayer costs nothing but your faithfulness, its effects may never be measured by monetary value - But it leaves you worth much more than silver and gold!
7: Prayer is the only thing the devil
cannot do
cannot do
The enemy can sing better than all congregations put together, he can preach better than revivalists - yet the one thing he fails to do is the very thing through which you defeat him - Prayer!
