Prayer as a fellowship with God

 

Text: Jeremiah.33:3(KJV)

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

The truth is that calling someone’s name is a sign of attention, and we know that once the person who is called responds to the call, that is an act of complying. That is what God is telling us to do in our text of today. He is telling us that when we reach out or call Him in prayer, He will respond and answer us. Amazingly, this action of prayer has a lot of power attached to it, and God is encouraging us to seek Him in prayers. People often think that their prayers are neither too hard for God to answer, or it should not be said, but I tell you never to underestimate the power of prayer. Instead, just pray with trust that He has heard your call and cry because he has made the promise.  Matthew 7:7- Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. God is ready to grant all our prayers, and not only that, He is also prepared to unlock those inaccessible secrets to us. Great!! What a privilege?

There is a remarkable secret out there that we have to look out for, so do not ever think or assume that you know everything, because that is the beginning of the downfall. 1Corinthians 10:12 (MSG) –Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence. I encourage you again to be very careful and call Him in prayers because He will definitely answer you as He enjoys that mutual fellowship. We should remember to bring God into our daily activities because, on our own, we can do nothing. John 15:5b- for without me ye can do nothing. Even Jesus saw the need for prayer to succeed in his ministry, we also need prayers much more. Luke.5:16- And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. We must remember, prayer is a fellowship and a relationship, and it is not about the volume of words, but it is a place of communion with the Father. So start today to cultivate the habit of prayer as a fellowship with God THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Oh Lord, may my faith be deepened and my relationship with You grow strong so that I can enjoy the attitude of prayer in Jesus name.

2. Father, please help me to understand prayer as a fellowship and communion with my heavenly Father in Jesus name.

3. Father, please heal me of prayerlessness, and may I also learn to pray in the spirit at all times, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Can you develop a fellowship time with God and not just a prayer request?
