PRAYER LIFE

Then these men assembled, and found Daniel PRAYING and making SUPPLICATION before his God". Daniel 6:11. My friend, are you busy with business? Whether you are a Bishop, Pastor, leader parent or a regular church attending Christian, you cannot be be a MATURE Christian without a regular quiet time with the Lord. Great heroes in the Bible in the midst of their "busy with business" life modeled the habit of a daily QUIET TIME. Men like Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, and Paul had an intimate relationship with God in prayer. Daniel continued his devotion when he was fourteen, when he was thirty, when he hit mid-life, when he got to be sixty, when he reached eighty, and when he was in his nineties. Danie continued. In fact Daniel's personal relationship with God and daily habit of prayer was well known even to his enemies. His political position, and his spiritual uncompromising life's discipline and leadership (busy with business) was never a hindrance to his time with the Lord. Prayerless life is powerless life. Maan, now you know why people are sleeping, yawning, and looking at the time while you are preaching. Either you better catch on fire in the presence of the Lord or put your sermons in the fire! You get it? Don't tell your members of your family to pray and you don't! Take it or leave it man!!!
