Col 4: 2Devote yourselves to
prayer, being watchful and thankful.
We the people of God are reminded frequently that we are
never to be short of prayer and seeking God. He is our strength and our
shelter. He gives us the strength to resist sins, to overcome temptations each
day and to be able to overcome and triumph in our spiritual walk.
David wrote in 1 Chron 16: 11 Look to the Lord and His strength; and seek his face always. This
was written when the Israelites received the return of the Ark of the Covenant
to Jerusalem. As David has demonstrated that he would seek God’s face daily he
has taught us that in order to please God and to receive His covering and
blessing, we must follow the lifestyle of David and other God fearing holy men of
the past.
In fact scriptures tell us that all the mighty men of God
were men of prayer, they studied the scriptures and hold them fast in their
hearts. Day and night they meditated upon the scriptures and in fact their lives
were fully saturated by godly thoughts and words.
Scriptures records that all f them were successful in their
ministries and were greatly honoured by God. Their names are recorded in
scriptures for all posterity to learn from. Their names live on and their
legacies also live on.
This is the honour and blessing that God has given to all who
seek His face diligently. Today we continue to see present day apostles and
prophets who likewise are honoured by God. I have personal friends who are
apostles and prophets and I have noticed that these men truly seek God’s face
diligently every day and they spend long hours in prayer and meditation. They
saturate their minds and spirit with prayer and the scriptures and in turn God
has blessed all of them greatly and these mighty men of God are honoured and
blessed in their ministries which are bringing glory to God through the
miracles that God performs through their ministries.
