Jesus’ disciples saw all the wonderful deeds He did. They witnessed first-hand the miracles, the signs, and the wonders. The multiplication miracle of the bread and fish took place in their own hands. They were there when He walked on water, calmed a raging storm, and cast out demons that controlled territories. Yet, you will never read in the Bible where the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to do any of these things. They never asked Him to instruct them on the method of casting out devils, or healing the sick, or how to walk on water, or how to multiply resources. The one single thing they did ask Him was, “Lord, teach us to PRAY.” Could it be that they recognized Jesus’ personal prayer-life as the catalyst to all these powerful and wonderful manifestations that took place through His life? Is it possible that they came to the conclusion that Jesus’ communion with His Heavenly Father contributed to the daily occurrence of the miraculous? E.M Bounds, a minister of the Gospel, once said, “Much prayer, much power. Little prayer, little power. No prayer, no power.” Jesus, although fully God – but also fully man, humbled himself to the discipline of prayer. The scriptures record how He would withdraw in the mornings and evenings to be alone to pray, even through the night at times. If the Son of God deemed it necessary to engage in intimate prayer in order to effectively fulfil His assignment, how much more should we see it essential for us to do the same? Our personal prayer life will reveal our pride or our humility, whether we are dependent on God, or independent from Him. Prayer is to the spirit-man what breathing is to the natural-man. The moment we stop breathing is the moment we start dying. Likewise, the moment we stop communing with our God is the moment we deprive our spirits from the supernatural flow of life. Set time aside to seek the Lord. He is attentive to the prayer of the righteous and His ears are open to their petitions. God is waiting to hear from you today.
