Thursday, 18 May 2017 00:00 THE POWER-PRODUCING
PRAYER OVERVIEW (FROM MAY 2017 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY
DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE) SCRIPTURE: Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints. Ephesians 6:18. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer produces power in
the life of a Christian. It has been established that men and women of
prayer are men and women of power. Prayer
produces power in the life of a Christian. One typical example of a man whose prayer life
produced power was Paul the Apostle. In 1
Corinthians 14:18, the Bible makes it clear that Paul
prayed in tongues more than the whole church of
the Corinthians; he was literally praying always.
What a mobile prayer dynamo he was! In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Paul admonished the
Thessalonians to pray without ceasing. He was
telling them his practice. No wonder, he was a man
who exported power, even the power of the
Gospel of Christ to the Gentiles to such a point that
handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were
cured and the evil spirits left them (Acts 19:12). Demons were checked out because he prayed in
tongues more than every other person in his days.
This was a man who was stoned and left to die but
woke up and said, ‘Let us go to the next city for
crusade.’ (Acts 14:19-20 paraphrased). Beloved, your life shall produce power as you
embark on persistent prayer from today, in Jesus’
Name. Remember this: Prayer produces power in the life
of a Christian. ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Connect the power of God by engaging in a
persistent life of Prayer.
2. Pray according to God’s promises in Scripture. PRAYER: O LORD, I ask for the grace to prevail with
You at the place of prayer, in Jesus’ Name. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE:

to 21, Psalm 115:1-18, Proverbs 15:18 to 19 AMAZING FACT: In terms of flexibility, the tongue
beats every other muscle in our body! Because of
this flexibility, the tongue is capable of easily
manipulating food inside the mouth and is also
capable of acting as a natural cleanser for our teeth
after a meal. TODAY IN HISTORY: 18th May 1901 – Total eclipse
