Message

Prayer is the lifeline of every believer. It is the channel through which we communicate with our Heavenly Father and receive the strength we need to navigate life's challenges. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Without prayer, we are disconnected from the source of our spiritual authority.

Jesus, our perfect example, was a man of prayer. Despite His busy schedule and His divine nature, He often withdrew to solitary places to pray. If the Son of God needed to pray, how much more do we? Prayer is not just about asking for things; it is about building a relationship with God and aligning our will with His.

Prayer changes things, but more importantly, prayer changes us. It softens our hearts, sharpens our spiritual sensitivity, and gives us peace in the midst of storms. When we pray, we are shifting our focus from our problems to our God. We are acknowledging our dependence on Him and inviting His intervention in our affairs.

The enemy knows the power of prayer, which is why he does everything to keep you busy, tired, or distracted. He wants to cut off your communication with heaven. But you must be disciplined. You must pray when you feel like it and pray even more when you don't. Effective prayer is fervent and persistent.

Beloved, let your prayer life be renewed this year. Don't just pray during emergencies; make prayer a lifestyle. Come into His presence with thanksgiving and make your requests known. As you spend time in communion with God, you will experience a level of power and clarity that will make you an overcomer in every situation.


King James Version

Luke 18:1-8

RCCG Hymn

I need Thee ev'ry hour

  1. I need Thee ev'ry hour
    Most gracious Lord;
    No tender voice like Thine
    Can peace afford.


  2. I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
    Ev'ry hour I need Thee!
    Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
    I come to Thee!


  3. I need Thee every hour.
    Stay Thou near by;
    Temptations lose their power
    When Thou art nigh.

  4. I need Thee every hour
    In joy or pain;
    Come quickly and abide
    Or life is vain.

  5. I need Thee every hour
    Teach me Thy will;
    And Thy rich promises
    In me fulfill.

  6. I need Thee every hour,
    Most Holy one;
    Oh, make me Thine indeed,
    Thou blessed Son!
