TIMES OF REFRESHING
ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL by Obiorah Prince Emeka
DATE: MONDAY 24 AUGUST 2020
A story was told about a woman who embarked on a journey to a far city by sea. So, as their boat sailed on, they experienced a heavy storm, such that could sink their boat. Everyone on-board began to pray. And the woman called her pastor friend and asked him to lift her up in prayers…
Many Christians have relegated prayer as only a problem-solving tool. They can only prayer when they are in danger or trouble. No! This is a wrong perception of prayer. Prayer should be our way of life.
SCRIPTURE:
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. (Colossians 4:2) NIV
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY:
Don’t ever take any major decision in life without adequate and appropriate consultation from God at the place of prayer.
A prayerful child of God is not just a powerful, but also a winning child of God. Do you want to record success in every areas of your life? Prayer is the answer. Pray in the morning, pray at noon and night. Pray while in the bus or driving. Pray while eating and bathing. Pray in the office. Pray at all times. Begin now to pray
