Prayer is the powerhouse of the church.
Spurgeon says the spirituality of a man is measured
by the substance and demeanour of his prayer. John Bunyan
defines prayer as “a sensible, sincere and affectionate
pouring to of the heart or soul to God through the strength
and assistance of the Holy Spirit for such things as
God has promised or according to His Word for the good
of the church with submission in faith to the will of
God”. An unknown Christian who wrote the book
“the kneeling Christian” once said, “The
secret of all failure in prayer is our failure in secret
prayer? It can be said with all certainty that failure
in our spiritual life and in Christian work is due to
defective or insufficient prayer. In the same vein,
all fruitfulness in service is the outcome of persevering
and God-honouring prayer. One of the most important
preoccupations of a Christian is his relationship with
God in daily communion and intercession for others.
A believer’s vitality can be gauged not by his/her
eloquence, zeal, orthodoxy or energy but by his or her
prayers.
David Brainerd, the missionary to the Red Indians, lived
a life of holiness and prayer. His diary was full with
the records of his seasons of fasting, prayer and meditation.
He gave himself to daily contemplation and prayer, mortification,
self-denial, humility and divorcement from the world.To
be little with God in prayer is to be little with God
in service. We are never so high as when we are on our
knees before the Almighty Jehovah. If only we can knee
before God than we can stand before any man of this
earth. God’s soldiers light rest on our knees.
Prayer is one of the highest prerogatives accorded to
man. To be granted this audience with the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords is the highest honour ever to be bestowed
upon mortal man. Yet many will not take this royal opportunity
to commune and meet daily with the sovereign Monarch.
The church should be rallied frequently at the throne
of grace to intercede for others. What a privilege to
carry everything to God I prayer! Brothers and sisters,
the time to act is NOW! Join other NUPS-G members nationwide
to pray on these topics. God bless you even as you intercede
for others. Amen.
