Pray More
Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient
in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer
(Romans 12:12 AMPC).
The Spirit of God is showing us something
we need to live a victorious life in Christ
consistently in the scripture above. He noted that
though there’s tribulation all around us, we should be
constant, that is, consistent, in prayer.
Some think that prayer is all about telling God
your problems, hoping He’ll do something about
them. That’s a wrong perception on the subject of
prayer. The purpose for prayer is primarily fellowship
or communion with the Father. That communion helps
to build love and make it stronger.
Hence, for you to grow and strengthen your love
for Him, you have to learn to pray more. In prayer, you
hear what the Spirit has to say and receive direction
and instructions from Him that’ll put you over every
day.
Jesus took prayer seriously while He was on earth,
because He understood the importance of fellowship
with the Father. The Bible says “…in the morning,
rising up a great while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed”
(Mark 1:35). The moment you relate to prayer with this
understanding your life will become richer and you’ll
be more productive in the things you do.
You need that continual fellowship and flow with
the Spirit to function effectively. Learn to commune
more frequently with the Lord, and watch your life
grow tremendously.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the divine transformation and
transfiguration that I experience through prayer; your glory fills
my life; your love thrills my soul; how I love to worship in
your presence! Thank you for the blessings and privilege to
fellowship with you through prayer, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
