FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Praying and not watching is the same as a prayerless believer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts 12<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praying without watching is the same as praying without understanding.
Prayer time is not a playing time.
Prayer time is not a gathering for fans as a spectator.
The follower of Christ takes a stand at prayer time.
Prayer is not limited to seeking God but to seeking God diligently.
Seeking God diligently in prayer is to seek the Lord your God, and you will find\u00a0Him<\/em>\u00a0if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.\u00a0(Deuteronomy 4:29)<\/em><\/strong>
Are you approaching God in prayer not knowing that you give heart and soul, with the expectation to experience manifestation?
Seeking God diligently in prayer is also to ask, seek and knock to gain the attention of God.\u00a0(Matthew 7:7)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0
How is your prayer life?
A prayerless life is a prevail less one.
Elijah engaged in prayer diligently to prevail on a prayer ground.
James 5:17<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0record the diligence of Elijah on a prayer ground,\u00a0“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly, that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.”<\/em><\/strong>
Elijah watched and prayed.
When Elijah waited on God with prayer, he watched seven times for an answer for the rainfall.\u00a0(1 Kings 18:41-46)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Engaging prayer diligently is watching and praying.
Pray not to be a prayerless one and know to watch and pray, the character to seek God in prayer diligently.
Do you know what is going to happen without praying?
The word of God repeatedly demands watching and praying, not just to pray.
Nehemiah 4:9<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0confirms the need to watch and pray,\u00a0“Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.”<\/em><\/strong>
Mark 13:33\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>warns,\u00a0“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”<\/em><\/strong>
Mark 14:38\u00a0<\/strong>points to the avoidance of the danger when watching and praying,\u00a0“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
1 Peter 4:7<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0mentions the seriousness of the need for watching and praying,\u00a0“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.”<\/em><\/strong>
Are you watching and praying to prevail?
Are you praying to seek God diligently to find God?
As a church or the temple of God, are you awake in prayer?
Once Jesus awoke the disciples from sleeping, not watching, in the ground of praying.
Matthew 26:40<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records,\u00a0“Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, \u201cWhat! Could you not watch with Me one hour?”<\/em><\/strong>
As a church member or you as a temple of God, watch and pray, not sleep shall prevail.
Herod killed James, and when set to kill Peter, the church woke from sleep.\u00a0
Acts 12:4, “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.”<\/em><\/strong>
Are you a church\/temple not watching and praying?
A church that prays less does not prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
