2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

Over the years of my walk with God, wherever I go, I have observed that many Christians are enthusiastic and energised from the very moment a call to prayer in the Church is launched. The first five to ten minutes can be fiery, full of power and passion. However, as the prayer time progresses, it is obvious that prayer stamina is on the decline! People who started out screaming and shouting now speak in low tones.

Let me tell you this: Prayer is not a sprint; it is a marathon! Let your prayer mode and prayer life be steady and consistent. Where are you rushing, and who are you fighting? Learn to focus on prayer as a marathon, then push it in tongues as well, for the Bible says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” (Romans 8:26). Marathon Runners do not plan for seconds or minutes but hours to conquer unchartered territories, break new records, and become line crossers. Act like one today.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am focused on my calling. I shall run my race with diligence. Working for God is full-time for me, and anything else is part-time! Glory, Amen.
