TITLE: “KEEP PRAYING”
INSPIRATION: The acronym P.U.S.H – Pray Until Something Happens!
1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Never Stop Praying”.
Praying is a continuous act; prayer is what you do when you are praying. If you keep praying PRAYERS, I tell you, everything will always work out for your good. The best way to win a battle as a Christian is to go down on your kneels and ask God to take control. This is why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5:44 “But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you”. The Old Testament would have advised us to kill them all in a battle. But the strategy has changed, instead, KEEP PRAYING UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. Paul gave this powerful advise in Ephesians 6:18 “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying…” I tell you, there is nothing praying cannot do!Provided we do no pray amiss or pray selfish prayers.
I had an experience when I first got the in-depth revelation of praying. God instructed me to do my masters in engineering and when I looked at my schedule, I knew I couldn’t manage it, but I obeyed believing God had the best in mind for me. By the time classes started, my schedule had doubled; I was so busy that I couldn’t make class for a long time so much that every time I remembered school, I felt like quitting or deferring the program. Then I had a conviction on praying until something happens! I decided to strongly believe God for making the Programme successfully through praying. I wrote down 6 prayer points for it, it took only less than a minute of my prayer time but I prayed it every day throughout the Programme. When exams came, I still didn’t have time to study but I still prayed about it, I prayed for speedy understanding, I studied for most of my papers for less than 12 hours. By the time my first semester result came out I was on a 4.5 on the dot! I was surprised… stunned, sincerely I just wanted to pass the Programme since I don’t like to fail, I didn’t even mind a 3.0 but God gave me an excellent result! He then reminded me of the prayers I prayed every day! Sincerely that experience on praying never left me! I believe God used this medium to make be understand the power of praying prayers. I immediately connected to the power of praying!
I encourage you today, pray for everything! Pray about everything! Keep Praying! And Never Stop Praying!
