HINDRANCE TO PRAYER
FRIDAY 26TH AUGUST 2022
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1)
Obstacles to praying always include but not limited to;
INDISCIPLINE: Indiscipline is a lack of control in the life of an individual or a group of people. Most Christians show a high level of indiscipline in carrying out spiritual activities.
How to come out of a lifestyle of Indiscipline:
Stop extolling pleasure above spiritual business: “But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth (1 Timothy 5:6)” You can shun eating and drinking on your birthday; make it a day with God in praying and fasting. You can avoid eating in that traditional marriage of your friend so as to escape contamination.
You must despise carnality “Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Romans 8:7). Carnality makes people to misunderstand, misinterpret and misappropriate the word.
Decide to fight the good fight of faith: (1 Timothy 6:12 – Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses).
MEDITATION:
The word of God opens me to passionately pray without excuses.
PRAYER:
1. Lord, open my eyes on time before it is too late.
2. Lord, deliver me from procrastinating my prayer time in Jesus name.
FOR EXTRA DOSE: DWELL ON Ezekiel 18:31
