With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.
Ephesians 6:18 AMP
Glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Hallelujah!
In the past few days we have looked at the various armour of God we need for our spiritual battle. Today we wrap up by looking at the importance of Prayer in the life of a believer.
The Bible requires us to pray without ceasing! Today’s scripture charges us to pray all kinds of Prayer at all times in the Spirit. Praying at all times calls for us being intentional about making quick brief prayers throughout your day.
We could make quick prayers without having to isolate ourselves from people and work. Once we make prayer our way of life, we can whisper to the Lord in the course of our daily activities.
This same chapter tells us to arm ourselves ready for spiritual battle, clothing ourselves from our head (helmet of salvation) to our feet(shoes of peace). That means that we should always be ready to battle the enemy in whatever ways he comes.
Our prayers must include intercession, thanksgiving and petitions for all of God’s children.
May we always be found standing in the gap praying all kinds of Prayer for God’s people. May the God of Jacob answer us from Zion at all times in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
