Tuesday 13th August Topic: PRAYER IS KEY Memorise: And he said, let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32: 26 Apart from making sacrificial and sowing seeds, another step must take to enter your next level is prayer. You need to pray because it is only God who can bring you from the past to the present and take you from the present to the future. He is the one who is totally in charge of the elements of time and chance that are required to move you to your next level (Ecclesiastes 9: 11). John 15:5 says without God, we can not do nothing. If you look at the lives of patriarchs of old, you would see the role prayer played. Abraham and Isaac were great intercessors and Jacob too was a prayer warrior. After wasting several years, it got to a point that he realised he could no longer continue without prayer; so he tarried in God’s presence and wrestled with God until his name was changed and his destiny was released. Do you realise if he had refused to breakthrough in prayers, he could have been shit out of the destiny that had been earlier prophesied about him? Many people who claim to know Jesus are still separate from their next level because they have refused not just to pray but to pray through. What is the essence of praying without getting result? Looking back in retrospect, I can tell you that my father-in-the-Lord Pa Akindayomi was a seasoned prayer champion. Many years ago, Baba came to visit me in Ilesa (south-west Nigeria). Then, I live in a small house on the outskirt of the town and the toilet was outside the house. When I was going to bed that evening, Baba was on his kneels praying. I woke up at night to go to toilet and he was still praying On rising up the following morning, Baba was still praying. I became afraid and began to wonder how I could cope with a man like him. I also wondered what he was praying about, but today I know better. Are you really keen on entering your next level? Then you cannot afford to ignore prevailing prayers. Arise today and hold on to the Lord in prayers until your answer is delivered. Read: Genesis 32:24-30 Prayer point: Father, help me to pray my way through to my next levels
