Tarry In Prayer

Luke 24:49 says, "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

If you feel called by God and are ready to serve Him, making prayer a regular part of your life is crucial. We cannot fulfil God's purpose with our limited strength unless we regularly seek His power through prayer. Seeking God in prayer is essential for receiving help in our times of need. If we don't seek Him, He won't intervene to alleviate our suffering, even if He knows we are in need.

Prayer is not just a command from God, but also a means to receive help, and guidance, and to show His glory in our lives and work. When we pray, we will see God's power at work in our lives and ministries in ways we've never seen before. This is why Jesus prioritized prayer before engaging in public ministry. If we pray, we will find that what seems difficult or impossible for us is possible for God to accomplish.

There is a limit to what anyone can accomplish without involving God in their lives and endeavours. Those who believe they can achieve their goals and dreams without seeking God in prayer are missing out. Every success and accomplishment has a divine factor, making prayer a must-do spiritual exercise. As believers, we need the power of God to do extraordinary things on earth, so regular prayer is essential.

The more we pray, the more we will desire to maintain a constant connection with God and avoid anything that hinders our fellowship with Him. Regardless of our possessions or knowledge, if we neglect prayer, we will not be privy to God's confidential plans or be involved in His work. Consistent prayer empowers our words with God's strength to touch and change lives. Without prayer, we will be perceived as nothing more than mere speakers or public performers.

Prayer brings us closer to God and strengthens our relationship with Him. Through prayer, we experience God's loving presence and receive assurance of His promises and covenant with us. God is drawn to the prayers of the righteous, surrounding them with His presence and lovingkindness. If we desire to see God's glory in our lives, prayer is not optional.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
