Bible Reading: Luke 22: 41-46
Memory Verse: The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. James 5:16b (AMP)
May your prayer life be revived by these prayer tonics:
1. You will never find time for prayer, you must make time for it. If you are too busy to pray, then you are too easy for the enemy to catch.
2. There is nothing too small to pray over. Therefore, develop the habit of praying over little things.
3. Always define your burdens by meditation and attack it by prayer. You may make a list of them; and attack them one by one in prayers.
4. Make your petitions large because you serve a big God.
5. For God to use your mouth for prayers, you must keep your tongue from evil. Watch your tongue.
6. Pray most when you do not feel like praying. That is the dangerous time, the time to pray most.
7. Do not stop praying until you are through. Do not give up until you see that rain falling like Elijah did. Even if things are looking upside down all over the place, do not give up (1 kings 18: 41-46).
8. Learn the secret of prevailing. Be persistent on the altar of prayers.
9. Learn how to pray in the spirit; meaning be able to pray in tongues. Speaking in tongues is an entrance into the supernatural. When you speak in tongues, you speak in mysteries, and you speak in the language of God.
10. Work on your schedule of activities now. You will have to adjust your priorities to accommodate prayers. You will need to sacrifice some activities to give time to prayers.
11. You will need to deal with weariness. You may need to sleep briefly, then wake up and start intensive prayers. After several hours of prayers, you may need to refresh yourself and start again.
12. You may need to change your posture. You can kneel down, lie down, walk about, sit down. You will need to be changing that posture. You need to deal with personal laziness and restlessness.
13. You may need to deal with your spiritual indiscipline of finding prolonged prayer difficult. The kind of enemies and powers arranged against some people, their prayer altar is too weak to deal with those kinds of powers.
Quote: Once the spirit of prayer falls upon you, really you have no problems, because you have the greatest weapon to use – Dr. D. K. Olukoya.
Prophetic Decree: May the Lord renew the Oil in your lamp and keep you ever burning, in Jesus name.
