THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PRAYER


Ezekiel 22:30

King James Version (KJV)

 

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

 

Where are the faithful MEN that will stand in the gap for their homes and nations? I keep seeing so many praying wives and mothers. Infact, I came across a post where it was claimed that it is the wife/mother's responsibility to pray for every member of the home. Prayer is too critical for us to assume that someone is doing it on our behalf...

 

"And He (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN ought always to pray, and not to faint" Luke 18:1

 

Interestingly, in the parable, Jesus talked about a woman who was persistent. I think the "men" in verse 1 was referring to human beings and not the "male man". My point is that both men and women need to be persistent in prayer. It is not an activity just for the prayer band members, prayer warriors or the "Good women".

 

If you will make meaningful impact in your world, you need to learn to take out time to pray.

 

"...The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." James 5: 16b

 

Enjoy your day
