5 Characteristics of the Godly!
Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 8:8-15
A Godly are a People of Prayer!
“When all we can do is pray, that is the most we can do.”
We are commanded to do without ceasing – 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
Most Christians do not practice it as well as they should, or they do it
completely wrong – James 4:1-3; 1 John 5:14-15.
It is the one thing that Christians ask to learn the most – Luke 11:1-4.
It is something that grows with knowledge of God’s word – Romans 8:26-28.
There were so many godly men in the Bible that were passionate about prayer,
but Daniel the Prophet stands out because he prayed three times a day and
even risked being fed to the lions.
The high officials and satraps hated Daniel so much that they tried to find
a way to have him break the king’s law (Dan 6:1-6).
When they could find nothing to accuse Daniel of, they convinced the king to
create a law that would trap Daniel (Dan 6:7), so what does Daniel do
after hearing about this?
(Dan 6:10-11) so Daniel
changed nothing! He continued to pray as always…
That is what a godly person will do; pray, even while it is inconvenient or
there is a risk of death and even when all is well.
God delivered Daniel out of the lion’s den or pit and who knows that if that
is what Daniel prayed for. The godly are prayer warriors, like Daniel.
Paul and Silas – Acts 16:25.
This is a strength we must develop, there has always been a time of urgency
for prayer, but all would agree, we need to pray without ceasing!!!
