TOPIC : PRAY AGAIN
TEXT LUKE 18 : 1-8
[1]ALSO [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up).
[2]He said, In a certain city there was a judge who neither reverenced and feared God nor respected or considered man.
[3]And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, Protect and defend and give me justice against my adversary.
[4]And for a time he would not; but later he said to himself, Though I have neither reverence or fear for God nor respect or consideration for man,
[5]Yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will defend and protect and avenge her, lest she give me intolerable annoyance and wear me out by her continual coming or at the last she come and rail on me or assault me or strangle me.
[6]Then the Lord said, Listen to what the unjust judge says!
[7]And will not [our just] God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf?
[8]I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?
Beloved, there is power in persistence.
The woman in this story was not ready to give up.
When you have a petition, refuse to give up until you receive your desired answer.
God is not far from you, He is very near.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
