Applying the Law of Persistence in Prayer

There are some requests you make to heaven that don’t get sorted out by a few seconds of prayer. No! For some, you must pray about the same thing for months and even years. One of them is prayer for your loved ones to be saved. That kind of prayer doesn’t usually yield results overnight but over time.

Have Compassion for Souls

Whether you’re an ordained pastor or a servant in the Lord’s house, reaching out to others with the message of Christ is your responsibility. You have been given the message of reconciliation to live as an ambassador of Christ (see 2 Corinthians 5:18-20).

The Enemy Is Not Your Friend

With all seriousness, guard your mind from deception. When the devil tries to paint an enticing picture of sin in your life, look at God’s Word and resist him. Life in Christ is not a joke. So don’t trade yours for anything ungodly.

Labour to Have a Healthy Spiritual Eye

You must labour to have a healthy spiritual eye. But how? By investing in knowing God intimately every single day. Prioritise prayer, Word study, fasting and going to church regularly. Doing these consistently will illuminate your spirit with Christ, and your life will follow the direction of God’s purposes.

Keep Feeding Your Spirit

Just as the body wants to get fed every day, so does your spirit. Anybody who feeds his human body and ignores his soul (specifically, the mind) and spirit will have an imbalanced life. That is why there are wealthy people who don’t know anything about Jesus.

Be Content with What You Have

Jesus Himself said in Mathew 6:31-32 that you should not worry about what to eat, drink or wear, for our Father in Heaven knows your needs. Many of us lose consciousness of our Father’s capability to provide, which shouldn’t be the case. Learn to depend on God for provision.

Ask and It Shall Be Given to You

The primary purpose of prayer isn’t to ask God for things; it is to fellowship with Him. However, asking God is part of the reason why He created prayer. So, as a child of God, if you go to Him and ask for something you need, you are not wrong.
