Actively Doing Your Part in the Great CommissionSample

THE ROLE OF PRAYER IN THE GREAT COMMISSION (1)

You cannot be joking with prayer if you are going to be effective in the Great Commission. Taking responsibility in the place of prayer is one of the surest ways of experiencing the divine in your assignment. You must know how to pray. Prayer is where you are seeking God for direction; it is when you are laying the matter before God. You’ll agree with me that speed can only be productive and effective when you have direction. Speed with no direction will end in disaster. Direction and answers are in God’s presence, and you must go after that.

God has divinely ordained and scheduled amazing things to happen for you in your journey through life, but you must be faithful to do your part. Once you have done your part, God is committed to doing that which you cannot do. Only when you do what you can do is God committed to doing that which you cannot do. Don’t expect God to do for you, what He has empowered you to do. Angels will not say prayers for you, but they will move at the instance of the word of God. The scripture says, “I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge” (Psa. 71:7, NKJV). If you want to walk in the reality of that scripture, do all that you can and all that is expected of you to do.

Remember that when you do all that is humanly possible, God swings into action to do that which is humanly impossible. When you do the possible, God does the impossible.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be faithful in the place of prayer. Amen!
