Let’s look at what happens when we abandon prayer.
We lose the kingship like Saul because power goes to our heads and we think we are the all powerful.
Pride makes us think that without us nothing is possible.
When we reject prayer, we also forget the covenants we have made with our Lord.
We allow ourselves after every battle to go celebrate with Delilah instead of letting the Lord fill us more.
Samson gave up his secret and died, trusting in a man rather than respecting the will of God.
It was because Samson abandoned prayer that he went astray on the way.
Lot is Abraham’s nephew, he benefits from his uncle’s grace, he knows that with or without prayer he is blessed, he is under his uncle’s cover.
For Lot, it is his interests first and he refused to learn from his uncle.
Lot’s lack of prayer led him to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lack of prayer kept Lot’s family in perverse mindsets and caused his daughters to get him drunk, rape him and get pregnant.
It was always the lack of prayer that made Lot’s wife in salt status because she was envious.
This family lived like the people of the world yet they had a seed of the Abrahamic covenant.
Not praying can blur our destinies, Gideon did not know who he was, he spent years of his life going in circles yet God had a crown for him.
If we don’t pray we live in the dark, everything is dark around us.
Abandoning prayer means we are not strong in spirit, we are not even inspired, we have no motivation to please God.
Let us know that a Christian who does not spend enough time with God is moving away from the source of light, we have no discernment when we have no intimacy with the Lord.
Prayer is our breath, it binds us to the Lord, it makes us respect our God-given gift of intercession.
It allows God to correct us, to reframe us, to shape us, to transform us.
Romans, 12:12 – Rejoice in hope. Be patient in affliction. Persevere in prayer.
Fast and pray not to give up prayer.
Hope is the confident expectation of the fulfilment of God’s promises, it is the attitude of a heart surrendered to God.
Let us persevere in prayer, let us learn to keep our minds in an attitude of constant prayer, and to stand firm when the answer is slow in coming.
In this year, let us not leave prayer.
In joy and in distress, let us pray and the Lord will make his grace shine upon us.
Good morning to all
Good day to you
