PRAYER - THE STRONGEST AREA THE DEVIL FIGHTS

1 Peter 5:8 – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom he may devour.”

You are not strong until you find it easy to pray. The issue with prayer is not first about VOLUME or QUANTITY but CONSISTENCY in the presence of God. Many Christians almost always want to replace praying with church activities, but prayer is a function of your spirit. If your spirit is weaker than the assignment you are carrying, you will collapse easily and soon disappear out of sight. The devil is not interested in stopping you from attending church services but will do everything to stop you from praying. He does not fear your coming to church, he fears your prayer because that is what stops his activities in your life. A Christian who does not pray is cheap prey for the devil to handle.

The devil is willing and ready to offer a Christian anything that will stop him from praying. He knows that you will soon walk away from your anointing when you stop praying. He will find you enough legitimate business and reasons to stop you from praying, but you must know that you cannot be effective without praying. Prayer is not an elective course in the calling; it is a compulsory course. Meeting with God daily is compulsory. The work of ministry is not academic work but spiritual work.
