Prayer Is More Powerful Than Kungfu (Third Level)

(Today's devotion is brought to you by Paul)

Scripture Reference: 1 Thess 5:16-18, Phil 4:6 (NKJV)

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thess 5:16-18, NKJV)

Note the words "in everything give thanks", and that is not all: this is "the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"! Did you know that it is God's will for you to give thanks? And the best part is, God wants you to be give thanks in all circumstances, and to rejoice always!

Brothers and sisters, this verse is one of my favourite verses and I pray that it will speak to you much. If God's will for us is to give thanks to Him, wherever we go, whatever we do, in all circumstances, we will always have things to give thanks for, right?

Remember, God is a God who is powerful and Almighty. So do know this: if God wants you to rejoice always, do you think He will not want to give you the things to have cheer over? The Bible says "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, NKJV).

God has already overcome the world! Be of good cheer and rejoice always! In the midst of all these He also says "pray without ceasing". God calls us to pray nonstop, as and when we remember and can.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Phil 4:6, NKJV)

Remember, seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. We all just need to ASK.

In those martial arts movies we see the hero always using his most powerful move, only when he has tried all previous methods and they don't work. He uses his first 9 levels of kungfu but to no avail. The enemy is too strong for him. Only when he uses the level 10, does he defeat his enemy and kill him.

Prayer is your most powerful weapon, and please, do not let it become your last resort. Cut short your battle with the devil today because the longer you drag, the more danger you may come to. Use prayer as your first resort and leave him no way out. Have victory today, and have it your way.
