Prayer
The saints were asking me what do i enjoy the most in my recent trip to Stuttgart, Germany, Zurich, Switzerland and Bangkok, Thailand. By His Grace, traveling on one of newest fleet B777-300 ER, hospitality by all the saints, going to one of the highest mountain in Zurich (3000m, 10 000fts), eating one of best mangoes & drinking one of the healthier fruit juice in Thailand, having the best food which were served by the beloved saints in Stuttgart, Zurich and Bangkok.......etc.
The one things that i enjoyed the most, yes, and i guess is what the Lord wants me to see and also want me to share with you this morning is : Prayer.
1) Prayer for almost to an hour before the sharing of the message. It is not a prayer meeting, but just a meeting before a brother or two begin to share his messages. Not for just a session, but almost every sessions.
2) Praying unceasingly in the van or car, from point to point. So long as we are on the road, the brother will begin to pray, just keep on praying and praying.
3) Seeing Brothers praying together on their knees before the meeting (by the way, all you see in that room is just a knee-height table)
4) Hearing a sister praying one of the loudest prayer i ever heard in a restaurant, praising our the Good of our Lord & our God.........many more.
Is not that we do not pray, i believe many of us do, right? but how often do we pray, may i ask? what is the relationship between you and God when you pray? and under what situation do you pray? and most importantly, do you believe that our Lord hear your prayer?
Our dear Lord Jesus Christ spend much time praying to the Heavenly Father while HE was on earth.
From the above 4 example, i must tell you, the saints knew why they have to pray, praying has become part of their lives, just like breathing and they all have tasted the goodness of prayer. Is not just that the prayer was answered, but rather, they knew that according to HIS TIME, HE will made all things beautiful.
Why must be to HIS TIME and not to our time or my time? can i leave this part to you and if you are free, perhap you can spend some pondering and praying and ask the Lord, : "Lord, why must be your time and not my time?" and if you have the answer, pls share with us :) tks. Be Blessed and pray without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17)
