Acts
6:4
We will give ourselves continually to
prayer; and to the ministry of the word.
Why must believers give themselves
continually to prayer? Let’s answer from these perspectives;
(a)Prayer
has a long and rich history of being part of man's life as man has always
prayed to his God. (b) Prayer is seen as an important part of all religions.
(c)
Prayers are effective and are made in supplication with thanksgiving always for
God's goodness, His grace and mercy. (d) Prayers are apart of the spiritual
conflict that believers are engaged in with Satan. (e) Every victory that is
won is on our knees through prayer as believers are to be persistent and have
faith in our prayers. (f) Matthew 7:7-8 encourages believers to be persistent
in asking, seeking and knocking on God's throne of grace while being confident
that He hears and will answer. (g) When the Holy Spirit came on the Day of
Pentecost continued prayers were being made. (g) Jesus made prayer a vital part
of His life; therefore, if Jesus prayed why not you and I.
(h) Believers are encouraged to pray daily as this is our communication with
God the Father and He enjoys communicating with His people.
When
we pray God's Spirit falls on us, then we have the ability and desire to walk
in the ordinances of God. Being clothed in the Spirit of God believers manifest
the brightness of God's glory.
Give
yourself to prayer, witness His saving power and establishes a closer walk with
Him.
