« NLT Never stop praying »
« NKJV pray without ceasing »
«Amplified Be unceasing and persistent in prayer; »
1 One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.
2 “There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people.
3 A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’
4 The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people,
5 but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”
6 Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge.
7 Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
8 I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Manreturns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
Many ministers of God talk about prayers and lead prayers often, but hardly pray.
When it is time for prayers, they announce the prayer point, ask people to pray, and all they do throughout is encourage the people to keep praying;
they don’t pray in prayer meetings or in private.
This is one of the reasons many don’t fulfil the call of God on their lives.
Apostle Paul was a man of prayer. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, he said, “Pray without ceasing.”
When I want to leave my house on a journey, I pray.
When I get into the car, I pray again.
When I get on the airplane, I pray again.
The Bible says pray without ceasing – keep praying. A songwriter said:
‘Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say; Thou art in the midst of foes: Watch and pray… ‘
Around 1985, I had tried everything I knew, but the church wasn’t growing as I expected. Then, I heard about a pastor in South Korea whose church was growing rapidly, and who usually held a yearly Ministers’ Conference. I didn’t have the money to go, but I prayed and God sent help. I went and I saw what I had never seen before. I heard the pastor saying on the pulpit that those who had come that Sunday should not come the next Sunday because of space, this was despite holding seven services every Sunday in a hall that could take 50,000 people. During the conference, they took us to his prayer mountain where we were assigned to grottos where we could pray privately. I lost track of time while praying in my grotto and by the time I finished, those who came on the same bus with me had been waiting for me for at least one hour. When I got into the bus, they were angry and asked, “Why have you delayed us?” I said, “I’m sorry, I thought we came to pray.” They said, “Are you going to pray everything in one day?” Nobody spoke to me all the way back and that was fine because, in my heart, I was still roaring in prayer. Some years ago, I went back to South Korea. The first time I went, I couldn’t get close to the man of God, but this time, I was able to meet him – Dr Yonggi Cho of blessed memory. He said, “I have heard about you, will you please pray for me?”
Beloved, I encourage you to pray always, Ephesians 6:18.
Application – I don’t know where God is taking you, but if you really want to get there, you must lead a prayerful life.
