Consistency and Perseverance in Prayer (4)
Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit… Luke 18:1(MSG)
There are people in the scriptures that we can learn from, how to seek God consistently and persistently. Nehemiah in Nehemiah 6:9 &16, 13:14 &31; prayed consistently and persistently to God to be able to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. He faced opposition and humiliation from people but because he was consistent in prayer, God saw him through and the project was completed. In 1st Samuel 1:1-20; Hannah the wife of Elkanah was always going to Shiloh yearly to pray to God for the fruit of the womb. God answered her, gave her Samuel and also made her mother of many children. Her yearly journey to Shiloh, consistency and persistency in prayer were honoured.
Moses, Aaron and Hur consistently and persistently supported Joshua with prayers when he was on the battle field to fight for Israel against the Amalekites. The staff of God in Moses’ hand, supported with persistent prayers and support from Aaron and Hur, helped Joshua a great deal to overcome the Amalekites as recorded in Exodus 17:8-13. How often do you lift up your hand to the throne of the Lord? The Bible teaches us to pray ahead of evil days. How often do you pray? Do you persevere? Be consistent, pray without ceasing. Be persistent in prayer. It is a good spiritual exercise accompanied with spiritual benefits. How persevering are you? Brethren, pray without ceasing and continue earnestly in prayer. It is good to remind ourselves that God still answers prayers but we are to seek Him consistently and persistently in prayers.
Prayer:
Father, grant me the grace to pray consistently and the grace to persevere in prayers in Jesus’ Name.
