Pray Ceaselessly

[ The Glory Unveiled]

And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; ( Luke 18 :1)

Jesus told His disciples a parable to illustrate the need for persistent prayer. The central message of the parable–found in verses 2 to 5 of the same chapter–is that we ought to pray always. Without consistent prayer, there is no relationship between heaven and earth; without prayer, there is no legal obligation from Heaven to operate in the earth realm. The more you’re in communication with anyone, the shorter the distance between you. Communication links two people and two realities or environments. Likewise, in continuous prayer, there is the gradual establishment of a relationship. Jesus was consistently in communication with heaven so much that Heaven was drawn down into His vicinity; He literally carried heaven around. He drag the realities of Heaven into the earth realm as a result of his prayer life. Consistence with God in prayer is the mark of true relationship with God. We ought to pray and not be tired.

Dynamics of Faith

[The Glory Unveiled]

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ( Hebrews 11:17 )

Noah and Abraham had this one thing in common, they believed in something that had never been seen nor heard before. They were the pioneers of faith in their time. But Abraham even had something else, worth exploring. He was tested again, to offer up his son even after he had waited many years by faith for the promise of a child. This reveals that faith is a continuum. It is continuous and always. We don’t get to a point where faith is full in itself. We need to continue in faith and the word of truth. If Abraham had passed the first test of patience but failed the second of selflessness, he probably wouldn’t have been mentioned in the verse we read above. But because he persevered in [faith] both, we celebrate him today. Let us continue steadfastly in faith because faith pays its due in due season.

*Prayer_Bead:* Jehovah Jireh, give me hope where there is no hope, courage where there is fear, confidence where there is doubt. Help me to trust unwaveringly in you. In Jesus name.
