*YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*
TEXT: John 16: 23-24.
KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1.
When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of prayer and taught his disciples to pray.
How can we succeed without prayers? How can we advance in life and move up without prayers? How can we win over the devil that has risen up against us without prayers? But here again, Jesus was the one praying – God the Son praying to God the Father! It was His regular practice.
It is a principle to observe. Observe this principle and learn to pray!
Jesus went into a quiet or solitary place and had time to talk with the Father. You too reading this book must pray. Make out time to pray early in the morning. Jesus cut His sleep to pray. Do not sleep out all through the night; interrupt it and pray.
You can see that Jesus was very troubled. Something was disturbing Him. The fear of suffering that was in His way disturbed Him at that time. You see someone struggling to survive under the opposition of the devil, praying and even asking others to join Him in prayers. Jesus was asking God to strengthen His human soul so He could face the fight ahead of Him. God granted Him grace. In fact, the Bible tells us that during this time, He spoke with groaning. It was not a casual prayer. He prayed so fervently that the sweat coming out of His body was like great drops of blood!
*Thought for the day:* Observe this principle and learn to pray!
*Song for the day:* When saints pray, Satan trembles.
*Bible reading for the day:* Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2.
