Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.”
Mark 1: 35-37 NKJV
There are no great feats without great sacrifices. There can be no supernatural manifestation without a prayer connection. Christ, our example of divinity in human form maintained an unusually strong connection with the Father in the place of prayer.
No amount of grace, faith, holiness, wisdom, planning or strategies can take the place of prayer in our attempt to fulfil God’s purpose for our lives. Sometimes our over-emphasis of an aspect of our Christian walk to the detriment or negligence of the others only cheats us of the fullness of God for our lives. The scripture says “Man shall not live by bread alone but by EVERY Word of God” (Luke 4:4), that is, the word of God on faith, grace, prayer, wisdom etc. Every subject matter of God’s Word. “ALL scripture is given…” (2Tim. 3:16).
So here we see Jesus, a man of Faith, the Word Himself, an embodiment of grace, an expression of holiness and purity, the manifestation of God’s love & wisdom, rising up early, a great while before dawn, to a solitary place to PRAY.
Jesus was a man of great faith and confession, and yet a man of Great prayers. I believe Jesus’s great faith and audacious declarations were birthed in the place of prayer. His wisdom in answering the tricky and treacherous questions of the Pharisees was birthed in the place of prayer. The ability to minister and meet a variety of needs and different shades of human quests was birthed in the place of prayer.
Whatever your calling in life, no matter the sphere of life you’ve been called into; entertainment, science, politics, fashion, academia, trade, ministry, civil service, etc., a strong connection with divinity is your key to supernatural manifestations, uncommon results, unusual feats beyond your wildest and widest imagination. God wants to manifest His many sided wisdom and the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. Therefore, the sons need to maintain a strong connection with the Father for a ceaseless flow of divinity in all our endeavors.
As you maintain connection with your Father, nations will seek you. You’ll be sought after, People won’t be able to do without you. Your fame will exceed your generation in Jesus name.
