“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”
Mark 1:35(KJV)
Our opening scripture shows us that Jesus had to pray everyday when He walked this earth. He rose up very early in the morning to go and spend time praying because the success of His ministry on earth depended on it. If Jesus needed to pray, it means it is essential and required that we should also spend quality time to pray to succeed in the assignment God has given us to carry out on earth.
The Bible tells us again about Jesus prayer culture in Luke 6:12, “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” Jesus was a man of prayer. He so needed to pray that He spent the whole night in prayer to God. Why? It is because God's work on earth requires prayer.
Therefore it is important you know that the speed of any ministry on earth is tied to certain things. Firstly, there should be a divine vision, secondly there should be prayer, thirdly there should be giving, fourthly there should be training for the people in the ministry. But one of the most essentials is prayer.
For instance, I know of a ministry that spent two whole years fasting and praying for the future of the ministry before they started formally, so the success and the influence which that particular ministry is having today, is based on the foundation of prayer and fasting.
INSTRUCTION
