Topic: Prayer – A Faith Enhancer [Seeds Of Destiny 8 April 2019 Devotional]
A quality prayer life is necessary for the boosting and enhancement of faith. We must understand that prayer is faith and faith is prayer. So, prayerlessness is a confirmation of faithlessness. It is a manifestation of lack of faith in God who alone can answer prayer.
SCRIPTURE: We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer is faith and faith is prayer
From our anchor Scripture, we see that faith is not something that just happens without effort. The Bible tells us that faith is work. Faith is not something we wish into existence, rather, it is worked into manifestation. The woman of God, Gloria Copeland has said that victory is not for the lazy. A child of God who is not ready to work is not ready for victory in the kingdom.
Now, one of the spiritual endeavours that enhance the potency of faith is prayer.
A quality prayer life is necessary for the boosting and enhancement of faith. We must understand that prayer is faith and faith is prayer. So, prayerlessness is a confirmation of faithlessness. It is a manifestation of lack of faith in God who alone can answer prayer.
Now, how does prayer enhance or facilitate faith?
- Prayer helps in building our relationship with God.
A quality prayer life provides the time to build relationship between man and God. The more time we spend with God at the place of prayer, the easier it is to trust and believe Him. Faith is a walkover where trust in God has been established.
- Prayer offers the opportunity for the expression of thoughts, convictions and expectations.
The place of prayer offers the opportunity to present faith-based desires and confessions of Scriptures.
- The place of prayer is the place of revelation and insight; and this fuels faith (Jeremiah 33:3).
At the place of prayer, you are able to access revelation which is the fuel of conviction that will sponsor action, and facilitate manifestation.
My counsel is, make up your mind to boost your faith in God by a lifestyle of consistent and continual prayer.
REMEMBER THIS: Prayer is faith and faith is prayer.
