What’s Your Prayer Routine? – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 14th

(Keep A Strict Prayer Regimen)

TO THE BIBLE: Matthew 14:23 NASB
“After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.’

LET’S TALK
Prayer is part of our priestly ministry. The Bible says men ought always to pray and not give up. The Lord Jesus showed us, with practical examples, the importance and power of prayer.

Mark 1:35 MSG tells us, “While it was still night, way before dawn, he got up and went out to a secluded spot and prayed.” Luke 5:16 says, “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.”

Jesus was disciplined with his prayer routine, and we ought to emulate Him. You’re a soldier in God’s army, and the hallmark of a soldier is discipline.

Christianity is a call to a life of spiritual discipline. There’s a disciplined prayer life you ought to cultivate, and you can’t leave it out or leave it to chance.

You can’t say, “I’ll pray whenever I feel like”; no! In the army, you don’t do things when or because you feel like; you do things because you have to do them.

You stick to the schedule; excuses aren’t tolerated. Scheduled times of prayer must be an integral part of your daily routine.

First, you must have a personal prayer schedule. At such times, nothing else should be more important. Discipline yourself and pray; avoid distractions.

Secondly, take your corporate times of prayer seriously, whether you’re participating onsite or online. It’s one of the many benefits of being a member of a local church.

Churches have structures, and members of the body of Christ generally belong to a church. Through the church structure, there could be prayer times allotted to different cell groups, or even the whole church could be praying together at specific times. Be sure to be a part of it.

I send out notifications for prayer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for us to pray for 15 minutes at 12 noon and 10 pm GMT+1 on KingsChat via the PastorChrisLive superuser.

If you haven’t been praying with us on that platform, sign up and turn on the notifications on your device to join millions around the world in these special times of prayer.

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the privilege to pray and side with you to enforce your will on earth and in the lives of men. Through prayer, my eyes are opened to spiritual realities, and your thoughts are unveiled to my spirit, causing me to walk in ever-increasing glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
