Pray Continually
One of the apostle Pauls closing remarks to the Thessalonians was,
“...pray continually;”
1Thessalonians 5:17.
Do you pray continually? By this I don’t mean do you stand in public and pray with many words.
Prayer as I noted in my previous blog ,Jesus said should be done in private (Matthew 6:6-8). If possible. But we should as the occasion arrises be at least whispering a prayer as we walk down the street on when driving, even in church.
Question; have you ever whispered a prayer asking God to direct your pastor and the church service you’re about to enter into?
That being said when the chance arrises you should also be involved in payer meetings at church or in house fellowships. This is what the early church did. Luke noting in the book of Acts,
“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”Acts 2:42
The early church met as often as they could to be taught by the apostles, to partake of communion, even a fellowship meal, and to prayer.
If you claim to be a true follower of Christ Jesus are you doing this?
Please think about it.
