A PRAYER LIFE
Matthew 9:37-38. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into the harvest field.
A great many Christians underestimate the power of prayer. They think God would not answer me I am a no body. That is not true in the eyes of God, everyone is important. It took me a long time to realise that I can save souls, through the merits of Jesus Christ during prayer. And it took me even longer to realise that prayer and fasting go together. Prayer and fasting or any kind of self-denial, strengthens the outcome of prayer. It is important to God if we back up prayer with obedience to him. That ‘we love one another as we love ourselves.’ How would we like it because of somebodies failure to pray for our souls, we never came to know Jesus and therefore we didn’t have the opportunity to be saved. Being a Christian we are very responsible to save souls, according to our gifts. Some people are sowers and others are reapers. Here Jesus is saying we should ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers. How many Christians think of doing that, I have been just as guilty as anybody else. There are missionaries that do preach the gospel and not just look after the poor and the sick, but actually preach too. And if you can afford to sponsor a missionary to work in the harvest so that people may come to know Jesus Christ, you be really helping Jesus to save souls. And your place in heaven will be higher. And those souls that you helped saved will thank you for the rest of eternity, so great will their gratitude to you will be.
John 14:6. I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
We have to really listen to Jesus and do as he tells us. Otherwise we are just kidding ourselves into believing that we are following him. To follow Jesus we have to follow him all the way. And we cannot do that without a prayer life. If we pray for all the graces we need to be obedient to his every wish, and really mean it, then and only then will God gives us the graces we need to follow Jesus. Of course we will fall many times but it is in praying to Jesus that we will be given the strength and graces to keep following him. Prayer is so very important to keep our relationship with him alive. Otherwise we become lukewarm.
Revelations 3:6
So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot or cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Many people do not realise how important prayer life is. It is important enough to save our souls as well as many others in Jesus name. It is life or death. We must discipline ourselves if we are to truly follow Jesus.
