TO BE A MAN OR WOMAN OF PRAYR, YOU MUST PRAY - PASTOR ISAAC LOVE PAPOE

To be a man or woman of prayer, you must pray. Pray until you pray. Pray until you are praying. Pray until you want to pray. Pray until you become a man or woman of prayer. Pray when you feel like and pray even much more when you don't feel like. The only way we learn to pray is to pray. 
To be much for God, we must be much with God. I don't care about your assignment or purpose, but without prayer, you may not be able to accomplish even 0.1%. Prayer is the engine for the Christian journey, it's the life of ministry and the heartbeat of spirituality. Do without it and you'll know what it means to be spiritually dried up.

Dick Eastman moved my heart with these words in his book "The Hour That Changes The World". 
"To spend little time with Jesus is to accomplish little in Jesus. Simply stated, there is no true spiritual growth apart from the devotional habit. Consistency in prayer is the evidence of true commitment. As David Hubbard shares, "Our prayer expresses our commitment to Christ. By talking to God we affirm our basic decision to depend on Him".

If I seldom talk with God, it indicates He plays a secondary role in my life. Soon the world commands more of my attention than does God. Adam Clarke warns, "Apostasy begins in the closet. No man ever backslid from the life and power of Christianity who continued constant and fervent in private prayer. He who prays without ceasing is likely to rejoice evermore". 

What a blessing these words are to my heart. Sir/madam, never under any circumstance abandon your prayer closet. If you have, run with all earnestness and fear, knowing that failing to constantly commune with the father is the beginning of all failures and problems in life. True praying is the true power of Christianity and no man will see and experience this reality until he prays. 

Pray pray and pray. And when you have prayed pray. 
I love how Message Bible puts 1Timothy 2:1, "The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know." 
What an instruction. Prayer is not optional but a necessary obligation for the faith life. It’s as necessary as breathe itself. Pray now.
