Prayer is the Key

Prayer is the Key

Pray without ceasing. I Thessalonians 5:16

Bible Reading: James 5:13-18

We will be starting a 7-day fasting and prayer tomorrow in preparation for the second quarter of the year. As God permits, we will be observing this kind of fasting and prayer at the beginning of every quarter. We have prepared and integrated into the daily devotional which can be downloaded on KSi website or you can access it on KSi mobile app. Please note that you can break your fast at your convenience. We also plan to have corporate prayer meetings daily via KSi mobile app.

We encourage you to join us in this spiritual exercise because prayer is important. As we reiterated in one of our daily devotional studies (February 8th, 2022), your life depends on prayer. God wants you to pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done in your life in this new quarter. When we pray, we are engaging an essential spiritual weapon and communicating with our heavenly Father. We added fasting because among other things, fasting is a sign of self-denial and it quiets our flesh so that we can be well-positioned to receive from God. In fact, the time for food can be used to pray, read and meditate on God’s word.

Jesus is our perfect example (Hebrews 5:7). Jesus prayed many times (Matthew 14:17; Mark 6:46; Luke 6:12) and His disciples in Acts of the Apostles also prayed (Acts 4:23-37). Dear friends, prayer is indeed the key. We encourage you to keep praying and ever stop because ‘… the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16).

Action Point: Be determined to participate in the 7-day fasting and prayer.

Intercessory Prayer: God revive your people so that we can pray.

Hymn: Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness

Don’t forget to pray.
