Saturday, 20 May 2017 00:00 THE EXEMPLARY PRAYER LIFE OF
DAVID OVERVIEW (FROM MAY 2017 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY
DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE) SCRIPTURE: Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my
voice. Psalm 55:17 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No one can do great things
without great prayers. David was a man of great exploits in the Bible. He
killed Goliath and took the reproach off Israel
when the Philistines engaged Israel in a battle.
According to theologians, David fought sixty-three
battles and lost none. Through the power of
worship, he cast out the evil spirit that tormented King Saul. He was a king, prophet, psalmist,
warrior, war general, etc. What was the secret of such great exploits? Apart from being a worshipper, David also prayed
in the morning, noon and night. As a result of such
lifestyle of prayer, he conquered both the lion and
the bear; he was able to carry food (baby goat)
from the mouths of lions and they could do
nothing. His secret was ‘Three times a day, no matter how
tight the schedule is, I must pray. Morning, noon
and evening I must go before God.’ (Psalms 55:17
paraphrased) That was the secret of his
exceptional life. Beloved, prayer is the secret of great exploits. No
one can do great things without great prayers. Pay
the price to prevail with God at the place of prayer
like David. Make prayer your daily habit and
exercise; then you will experience great exploits
in life. Remember this: No one can do great things
without great prayers. ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Have a consistent prayer schedule daily.
2. Ask God to baptize you with the spirit of prayer. PRAYER: O LORD, I ask for the fresh baptism of the
Spirit of prayer. Help me to pray without ceasing,
LORD, in Jesus’ Name. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE:
