UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE THROUGH CONTINUED PRAYING

'And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint...' - Luke 18 vs 1

Beloved, I want us to read the full story of what Jesus actually said in this Chapter. Sit tight and read this awesome parable. God Bless You.  

Luke  18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:  

18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 

18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;  

18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.  

18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.  

18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?  

18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? {KING JAMES VERSION}

Now, let me unfold to you the treasure in this scripture. There is a point I want to draft out to you, and this is it; the unrighteous judge was not willing to attend to that woman, but because of her continous coming to him, he became weary and had to look into her case so he could have rest. Waow! Now, Jesus is telling us that if an unrighteous judge could do that, how much more our Heavenly Father, that's exactly what the Righteous Father will do to His children who cry out to Him day and night even though He delays for a long time.   You see that? So we have to keep pressing on God in prayers until our expectations and desired needs are granted us by the Father.

From this parable, we can understand that sometimes, God bears long with us on our requests, but it's our responsibility to press on in prayers day and night, at every moment at every interval, at every count without ceasing, till our requests are met.   I am so inspired even as I write this unto you. Men ought to pray and not to faint!

Blind Bartimaeus Continues In His Cry Unto The Lord

‘And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.’ – Mark 10 vs 47 – 49 {KING JAMES VERSION}

You see that? The Blind man was incessant in his cry unto the Master concerning his desire to receive his sight, and hence, he received his sight. You can see that in the verse 52.

Now from this story, we see that the blind man cried out of an earnest desire. That tells us that an earnest desire provokes a sustained cry unto the Lord which at the end unlocks the performance of our expectation(s).

Do you desire something from the Lord? Then you ought to be praying about it tirelessly, and not been lazy! You ought to be crying out to God in prayers about it, and not relaxed!

I pray for you, the Grace to pray continually rests upon you mightily in the Name of Jesus. Take it; It's yours!

God Bless You.
