Why would anyone call himself a Christian and live a prayerless life? It's not a fashion show that anyone takes interest in for recognition. There is a fearsome war going on in the lives of every individual you see out there.

What is this war about? I will talk about it in the latter part so stay calm. At this point, let me remind you that you have been warned to pray at all times.

Unfortunately, many so-called Christians will wake up from bed thinking about what kind of food to eat, how to go about their daily routines without a single prayer — not even "Thank you, God." In the night too these professed Christians will go to bed feeling exhausted and sleep like a rocks.

Is this a Christian life? Then when the Devil succeeds in plunging you into troubles then you begin searching for Pastors and Prophets. Were you not warned?

"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of this darkness, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:12 - 13).

Now, I believe I have your attention. Let me, therefore, remind you that you are a dual creature with flesh and spirit. And as a matter of fact, there are two worlds that we are living in.

Your flesh for the physical world and your spirit for your spiritual world. The spirit is stronger than the flesh so a Christian must always build up himself well in the spirit. How? Through:

1. Prayers
2. Fasting
3. Regular Bible study
4. Meditation
5. Obedience to God(Stay away from sin)

While others think of building their physical body and increasing their material wealth at the expense of their spirits — you as a child of God must do the opposite.

Now, back to the spiritual warfare, I skipped in the early paragraphs; there is an ongoing war in the spiritual world that affects you. Satan and his agents like witches and wizards are always conspiring to destroy your life, marriage, job, business, relationships etc.

Witchcraft is very common in our African communities. In order to triumph over them, you must win the spiritual battle they engage you in.

So why don't you pray at all times to destroy their demonic schemes? Your exhortation for spiritual warfare comes from the Bible.

"With all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

Prayer is one of the powerful weapons God has given us to use in fighting our
adversary.Pray for good health, healthy marriage, protection, good jobs, wisdom, financial breakthrough, healing, faith, and any good thing you want the Lord to do for you.

He(Jesus) said:

"And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13 - 14).

The Payment Of A Prayerless Life

The moment you live without prayers, youu open portals for the Devil to have access to all the good things in your life. And you know him already. He is a thief, he came to steal, destroy and kill(John 10:10).

Jesus warned us to be prayerful so that we don't become pathetic preys for the Devil. He is roaring like a lion seeking whom he may devour.

"Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41).

Yes! You will fall into temptation if you don't pray on regular basis. You would become too light for the Devil to blow you away like dust.

What Prayers Do For You

There is power in the tongue. So speak to God and believe in your heart and it shall happen!

For an effective prayer, you must stay away from SIN! Now, pray and invoke the Spirit of God.

Prayers broke the chains from the hands of Peter.

Prayers can do the unimaginable; It flexes the mighty arms of God in your life.

Prayers send a pleasing invitation for the Lord's angels to descend and protect you from harm.

"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone" (Psalms 91:11 - 12).
