~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc.DD.
π΄John Wesley, the great English minister, once said, “It appears God will do nothing except we pray.”
π΄He made this important statement because he observed that changes took place in his life and ministry and in society when he and others prayed.
π΄Prayer is not a waste of time.
π΄When you pray, you cause significant changes in the Spirit.
πEphesians 6:18 CEV “Never stop praying, especially for others. Always pray by the power of the Spirit. Stay alert and keep praying for God’s people.”
π΄Those who don’t understand the power in prayer and don’t understand the spirit realm are the ones who think that prayer is the lazy man’s way.
π΄There’re many results we’ll never see except we pray. It’s God’s way of relating with us; He asked us to do it.
π΄Jesus prayed, and He taught us to pray. He said, “…Men ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).
π΄Why did He pray so much? It’s because He was living in a world of darkness and needed to effect changes in men’s lives. It’s one of the reasons He was so effective.
π΄With so much going on in our world today, we should never think we’re helpless; there’s something we can do.
π΄Any Christian can actually effect changes.
π΄Don’t be like the person who says defeatedly, “All I can do is just pray.” No. We don’t just pray.
π΄In our prayers, we’re purposeful enough to make definite changes.
π΄God never told us to “just pray” as a form of religion. He told us to pray so that things would change to our advantage.
π΄Remember what Jesus said: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). That power is the dynamic ability to cause changes and it’s in you now.
π΄So, when next you take up a matter in prayer, no matter how urgent it is, don’t for a second think you’re wasting time by praying.
π΄Instead, be conscious that you’re bringing the power of the Spirit of God to bear on that situation.
