TOPIC : THE ELEVATING POWER OF PRAYER
(Special edition)
TEXT:LUKE 18:1-8
[1]And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
[2]Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
[3]And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
[4]And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
[5]Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
[6]And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
[7]And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
[8]I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Dearly beloved, the Master Himself told us this parable.
He said that men ought to pray and not to faint.
Why, because there are some petitions that may take some time before it is delivered to us.
Of a truth, we do not know when God will answer but we know that He will definitely answer if we continue with our petition.
The widow in this parable refused to accept no as an answer even though she had no powerful person to defend her.
Jesus wants us to approach God in prayer with exactly the same attitude.
Do not give up until you receive yes as your answer.
Beloved, it's time to pray over that matter.
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
