DRIVEN BY ETERNAL PURPOSE: John 3:15
THEME: THE PRAYER THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS Part 19
Beloved Saints, Good morning. Looking at the Prayer that moves your mountain and bring change from our Master Lord Jesus Christ.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed… shall come to pass….
May the Lord make you pray the way Jesus prayed. We saw yesterday how Jesus prayed by Blessing the loaves and fish. Today, we learn from another important forgotten prayer of the Lord Jesus called Prayer of isolation, loneliness with God.
There is a prayer called seclusion, one on one with God. Prayer that you cut off the whole world from you, switch off all phones, all WhatsApp, Facebook, emails, Instagram, photography, Googling, and all surfing, LinkedIn and all Mozilla foxing, name it. And you go away to a lonely place and be with God a day or more. This is the forgotten prayer for many believers on earth yet the most important of all.
This prayer is even more necessary if especially you are a man or a woman of God, even as any believer for getting more insight from above. Again hear this:
Matthew 14:22-23 (NKJV)
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
When were you alone praying? Don’t wait for troubles to come first before going to God. The Lord Jesus despite being a team builder with His Disciples from time to time He found time to be alone with God. This is a time of greatest importance in one’s life. Hear this again:
Mark 1:35 (NKJV)
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
Here, we can now establish with you that this kind of prayer was one of the prayer habits that our Master whom we always emulate was involved in from time to time. Many ministers do this at the beginning of their ministry, many believers do this only in crisis in search of an answer. But once the ministry is established or the crisis met they abandon this kind of prayer.
Solitary or seclusion prayer is done by those who love God, who seek His face for vision, plan, purpose and pursuit of your family, job, business more especially ministry direction. Without seeking God you can’t have proper direction. God wants to build together with you.
Psalms 127:1 (NKJV)
Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.
Find time to go back to God, hear Him redirecting you. Take new steps, follow Him and see you rising again in Jesus’ Name. His sheep hear His voice. But very often the Lord doesn’t speak in a noisy busy world. He calls you today to meet Him in private lonely place. Jesus has much more for you Saints.
Prayer. My Only Eternal Father, receive my apologies for abandoning you due to the busiest media and noisy public world today. Instil in me discipline to find time to be alone with you again so that you can redirect my steps once more and that I may support more souls to come into the Kingdom. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
Humbly, Pray for me as I go to USA next week, as one of the guest speakers in a Purpose Leadership Conference. Pray that God our Father will speak to His leaders and bring more transformation to our world in these last days.
May God bless your day as you get the prayer tips that move your mountain while saving souls and making Disciples before the Lord comes.
Love and prayers, your servant,
Archbishop Dr Mark Kambalazaza.
