The Greatest Common Denominator

Prayer is the greatest common denominator among all the great biblical characters and thousands of strong believers throughout history. Moses practiced it.

Abraham practiced it. King David, Solomon, Esther, Deborah, Daniel, Joseph, all the prophets —and, of course, Jesus Christ Himself—had profound commitments to lives of prayer. The biblical record shows the direct impact of their prayers on the circumstances and situations they faced. The evidence affirms one thing: no matter what you may think about prayer, somehow it works.

Is man’s role in prayer important? God believes so. God’s actions in the earthly realm require human participation. To preserve humanity in the Flood, He needed Noah. To create a nation, He needed Abraham. To lead Israel, He needed Moses. To bring back Israel from captivity, He needed Daniel. To defeat Jericho, He needed Joshua. To preserve the Hebrews, He needed Esther. To secure the salvation of mankind, He needed to become a man.

Prayer is not optional, but necessary. If we don’t pray, heaven

cannot intervene in earth’s affairs. We must take responsibility for the earth and shape what happens here by our prayer lives.

“Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1, emphasis added).

I invite you to discover your power, authority, and rights in the earth and to position yourself to become a faith channel for heavenly influence in earth’s affairs. Heaven depends on you, and the earth needs you.

Prayer is meant to be one of the most exciting aspects of a life of faith. It has the power to transform lives, change circumstances, give peace in the midst of trial, alter the course of nations, and win the world for Christ - Dr. Myles Munroe

Prayer: Father, thank You for providing biblical examples of lives dedicated to prayer. Help me to have a prayer life that brings powerful transformations. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: The power of prayer is the inheritance of the believer.

Reading: Genesis 1–3; Matthew 1
