Thought For The Day
SATAN CANNOT COME BEFORE GOD
TO ACCUSE YOU!- If it is God who
justifies you, who can bring a charge
against you?
Romans 8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God’s
elect? It is God who justifies.

THE FELLOWSHIP OF PRAYER
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
(2 Corinthians 13:14)
Anyone who wants to have a good
standard for praying ought to emulate
Jesus. Studying His prayer life, I
observed what He did that the
religious people of his day didn’t do,
for which reason He had such
outstanding results in prayer: He
separated the labour of prayer from
the fellowship of prayer. There’s such a
thing as “prayer labour” or “prayer
work”; you can literally count the
number of times Jesus prayed this way.
However, His prayer fellowship is what
we really need to emulate; that’s what
was different about His prayer life.
His prayer labour wasn’t different from
that of the great prophets who came
before Him. Moses, Joshua, Elijah,
Elisha, David, etc., all prayed, and their
prayers are chronicled for us in
Scripture. But there was something
that they didn’t have, which the Lord
Jesus brought in: living in the Father’s
presence in continual fellowship. This
was different; this was new. Jesus
lived in the Father’s presence, in
continual fellowship.
The early prophets didn’t have this,
because they couldn’t. If they could,
they would have, because they loved
God. Nevertheless, the reason they
couldn’t was that they didn’t have the
enablement of the Holy Spirit. Jesus
did. No one can walk in such
extraordinary fellowship with the
Father except by the Holy Spirit. It’s
His ministry and delight to bring us into
that place of constant and continual
fellowship with the Father.
That’s why the Apostle Paul, by the
Spirit, prayed thus in our opening
verse. That wasn’t given to us just to
recite as closing benediction during our
church services and meetings. It was a
revelation. The Father is in heaven, the
Lord Jesus is in heaven, but the Holy
Spirit is here with us on earth.
He’s in us and with us. In Him, we
have the presence of Jesus and the
Father. He doesn’t come and go; we
have become His dwelling place. He
lives in us and has become part of our
day-to-day existence. He talks to us all
the time. As we listen to Him, we’re
guided, instructed, led in the path of
excellence, glory, dominion, and
power.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for
the great honour and wonderful
privilege of fellowshipping with you in
prayer. My times of personal
relationship with you are heartfelt and
productive. Through the Holy Spirit,
I’m guided to know your perfect will,
and I’m led in the way that I should
go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
