Ephesians 6:18(ESV)
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
From the Scripture above, it has been established that the act of prayer must be a ceaseless and continual process and not an occasional practice. Apostle Paul admonishes us to pray in the spirit at all times. As it is written in Jude 1:20 “But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.” Colossians 4:2 also says “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” The importance of prayer to believers cannot be over emphasized. Prayer is a two-way communication between the believer and our Father in Heaven who is the Almighty God. That is, prayer is not a religious activity, but it is that fellowship with the Lord where we talk to and with Him. The blessings of prayer investment are undeniable. So, as we engage with a sense of business, we should expect to be rewarded for every bit of it.
Demonstrating our daily dependence on God through prayer is essential. It is key to note that praying in the spirit plays a vital role in our quest to access more of God’s Glory. It is a ladder we can climb to enter into God’s Presence. The more we pray in the spirit, the more of His Presence we will encounter, leading us into more of His Glory. Prayer is the sure answer and the ultimate solution to all problems and challenges of life. It is a mighty weapon for Christians to dislodge any satanic power. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says: “Pray without ceasing”, Believers in Christ must always pray. Luke 18:1 says, “….men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint. Children of God have no excuse for operating a prayer-less life because prayer lifts up the Hand of God, but prayerlessness encourages the devil to continue with his destruction. So, pray without ceasing both in the spirit and understanding. James 4:2 says “…..yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” Through prayer, believers can receive all their needs. When we pray according to God’s Will, we have committed His integrity to answer us. Esther and her people prayed and the demonic plan of Haman backfired on him and he died a very shameful death. From Scriptures, we discover that the Apostles were constantly in prayers, and they also responded to the threats of the people with prayers. It was at the hour of prayer that Peter and John encountered a crippled man who was lame from his mother’s womb. When we pray supernatural power is released to counter every affliction in our lives.
Beloved, prayer is very significant, your progress in your spiritual life depends on your prayer life amongst other things. Pray endlessly in the spirit and your life will be advanced to enjoy ever increasing glory. Today, make demands on God ordained benefits for your life and attack the needs and wants of life at the place of prayer. As you continue in prayer the Good Shepherd will direct your path and keep you in His Mercy, Strength, and Love. From today, as you pray endlessly in the spirit, God will answer you speedily in Jesus’ Name. Remember, prayer gives you a permanent stand with God and makes you anointed beyond measure.
O LORD, I ask for the grace to prevail with You at the place of prayer in Jesus’ Name.
