TOPIC: TIME WITH THE FATHER (Part 3)

Text: “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If a person remains in me and I remain in him, then he produces much fruit. But without me he can do nothing.” – John 15:5, ICB.

 

Building a healthy and vibrant prayer life requires desire and discipline; you must desire a rich prayer life and be disciplined about it. Christians who don’t have a strong and vibrant prayer life are easy prey to the enemy, and they will have challenges in easily discerning the ways of God.

As a Christian who desires to burn for God, your prayer altar must always be on fire. Fire on the altar is something that you commit to; it is not just something you wish for. Daily commitment is non-negotiable if you desire an ever-burning prayer altar.

God wants you to spend time with him; there are things he wants to show you and teach you. There are things he wants to entrust to your care. 

Dear friend, while it is essential to spend time in God’s presence, we must press to be consistent. Duration is good, but consistency is more important.

As you press for growth and a deeper walk with the Lord Jesus, give yourself targets and goals. For example, you can say this month; I want to spend at least two hours in prayer and one hour in bible study. You need to have spiritual goals and targets. Any Christian without spiritual goals and spiritual target is merely existing as a joke.

The Father wants us to grow in our understanding of his ways, and one of the ways this will become a reality is for us to discipline ourselves to spend time in his presence every day. 

Dear friend, I have a question for you: have you spent quality time in prayer today?

WISDOM PUSH

Nothing and no one should be too important to make you inconsistent or unserious with your prayer life.

TODAY’S DECLARATION

In the name of Jesus, I receive grace to tarry every day in God’s presence. I am rising above every form of distraction that wants to take me out of God’s presence.
