Luke 18:1-5

Luke 18:1 -"And He spoke a parable to them that men should always pray and not lose heart."

You can rule in the midst of your enemies, if you take prayer seriously.

I PRAY FOR YOU:
𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙂𝙤𝙙'𝙨 𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙞𝙚, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙨.

It is the desire of the Father that His children approach Him in prayer. Prayer is the natural response of those who recognize their need for the help of God in their lives. The story in our Fire Scripture shows the persistency of a widow in getting what she needed. She was persistent, going daily to the judge to look into her case. The judge was the kind of person that had no regard for anyone; he does not fear God too.

What this story teaches is that for you to get anything done, you must be persistent. The first pre-requisite for answered prayer is PERSISTENCE. To be persistent is to tarry at the place of prayer until you receive answers. To be persistent is to be at the place of prayer until something happens. To be persistent is to receive value for waiting on the Lord. Dear beloved, the problem of many people is lack of persistence. When they pray for a short period of time, they give up very soon. They are so much in a hurry that they find it difficult to wait on the LORD for long.

The story of this widow in the story is a lesson to all believers. Don't give up without a fight. The problems that a lot of people are fighting is multidimensional in nature. May be the first day of the prayer is just removing the dust that gathered on the problem. Nothing really has started because, you only just removed the dust. The root of the problem is still intact. The tap root is also well entrenched in the ground. If you are peeling an onion ball you have to continue to peel the dry leaf off until you get to the succulent part of the onion. If you are in a hurry and not patient enough, the dry leaves of the onions will not allow you to enjoy the juicy part of it. Persistence in prayer is like that. You need to be patient with God for Him to settle you completely. He is the Alpha and Omega. He knows everything about what you are asking for in prayer.
