*UNDERSTANDING PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM:Seeds of Destiny* (VIII)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."* (Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
_Types of seeds_ (Cont'd)
8. PRAYER IS A SEED.
Prayer is a very important spiritual discipline. It is also a very powerful seed. Every investment in biblical praying is a worthy investment never to be regretted.
When we sow the seeds of prayers, we reap a harvest of answers. We cannot love God and not imbibe the discipline of spending time in prayer.
Matthew 21:22 (KJV) declares *"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."* Yet, there are certain examples we are given all through scripture of things to pray about:-
James 5:14-15 (KJV) talks about sickness and prayers: *"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."*
Jesus also taught us as follows:
*"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."* (Matthew 9:37-38 (KJV))
We also taught to pray for all men, kings or presidents or leaders of nations etc:
*"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;"*
Even as we can pray for all things that we need, it is important we also pray those things that the scriptures specifically asked us to pray for. And one that is lacking so much, is praying for the nations, for souls and for spiritual growth. When last did you pray for those who are not saved? When last did you pray towards missions and evangelism?
How are you investing your prayers?
_MEDITATION:_
*"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."* (Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV))
