Hour of Prayer

Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. Acts 3;1

The Apostles of old had what was called the hour of prayer. A time they knew and agreed among themselves will be used for prayers. This shows us their commitment towards prayers. Prayer was so important to them that it was on their daily to-do list. They prioritized it because they saw it as a big deal for their everyday living. They didn’t want any day to go by without them praying so, they dedicated a period of the day to pray.

Present day believers have a lot to learn from the apostles. We need to see prayer as a part of our everyday living. The same way we plan to eat, we must also plan to pray. We wake up every day to have our bath and brush our mouth. It has become something that nobody needs tell us to do before we do them. We should also see prayer that same way. We should not let a day go by without praying.

The easiest way to achieve this is actually by creating the time for it. We need to sit and look at our daily schedule and what time of the day we could carve out for this purpose. When we have this daily mind-set about prayers, we will be motivated to pray irrespective of what happens to us. We will begin to see praying more as a duty and not just another activity. We will begin to see praying as a high priority task in our daily activities. Christians who pray every day can easily be known by how much they are available for the things of God, how often they hear God and how they walk in God’s plan for their lives.

If you have not made Jesus Christ your Lord and saviour, you cannot take advantage of what God had prepared for you. We urge you, don’t wait another moment. Make up your mind and say this prayer:

“Dear God, I ask you to forgive me all my sins and make me anew. I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised him up on the third day, I confess that He is Lord now and forever. I accept your son, Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.”

Congratulations! Now that you are born again, look for a bible believing church to attend that you might know what he has provided for you.
