Prayer Grasps Eternity
RIOTers... How have our prayer life been? I was pondering over something and God just reminded me of this book that i've read, "Classics on Revival". I remembered an incident while i was reading the book and the section on Prayer Grasps Eternity hit me real hard. A glimpse of what was written:
"NO man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop-window to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.
Poverty-stricken as the Church is today in many things, it is most stricken here, in the place of prayer. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few prayers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few interessors, many writers, but few fighters."
I believe that as we pray, we are entering into God's treasure house. Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.
I pray that even as the church AGM is approaching, together as a church, we'll commit ourselves to
fast and
pray for the leaders of the church and those who are called will rise up to serve. Pray also for ministry, the life group and ourselves that we will guard our heart in our daily lives and that we will stay focused in Building a House Fit For Our King daily.
"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)--Unceasing Communion With God. I simply like what C.H.Spurgeon said, "Minute by minute, moment by moment, somehow or other, my heart must commune with God. Prayer has become as essential to me as the heaving of my lungs and the beating of my pulse." What does prayer means to you today?
Come on RIOTers, we gotta PRAY like never before.::2nd biggest RIOTer::
