Spend an hour with the Lord in prayer

We are aware that the Lord is still interceding for us at the right hand of the Lord. This is the ministry of the Lord now; which emphasizes the importance of prayer. Prayer plays a major role in our victorious walk with the Lord.

Romans 8:34 NLT — Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Now, the question is if Jesus Christ is praying and pleading for us at the right hand of the father where he is seated, then why should we pray? Indeed, we should pray because he wants us to watch and pray with him. At least he wants us to show our commitment by spending an hour with him in prayer. One day while on earth, the Lord entered into the garden of Gethesame and there prayed; he went with his disciples and expected them to pray and watch with him. Learning to spend at least an hour with the Lord in prayer from time to time, will save you from temptation.

Mark 14:37-39 NLT — Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? [38] Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” [39] Then Jesus left them again and prayed the same prayer as before.

I exhort you to spend an hour this day to watch and pray with the Lord. Let us commit ourselves to this ministry and reap the rewards that come with it.
