Light Of The World!: Being A Devoted Man Of Prayer

Light Of The World!

Hello there, world! I'm Yong Zhen Kheng a.k.a King! I'm a 24 young man who has given my life to God! I face plenty of challenges and mountains daily, but it is by the grace of God that I'm able to stand tall with His strength in such a world that we live in. "Light Of The World!" is the name of my blog. Because in such a dark world that we live in, everyone is looking for that something somewhere somehow to fill and satisfy their souls. And that is where the Word of God comes in, where love and hope are always present and living. God is the Light of the world, and my prayer is that we will go beyond the call of duty to show love to the people around us with the love that He has shown us - That they may know just how real and amazing our God is! This is what we're here for: To show the world how He love it. This is what we're made for: To lay it all down like He did :) Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven and earth, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God! And He has chosen us to be the Light of the world, so come let us share the Good News with the world together! (:

>> Sincerely, a man on many missions.

Being A Devoted Man Of Prayer

Dear warriors in Christ, I am going to talk about "Being A Devoted Man Of Prayer"!

From the Bible, the book of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, it says "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

How many times do you pray everyday? How about every week? Let's make it month, or a year? Do you pray consistently? Do you believe that prayer has the power to change lives? The verse reminds us to continually be joyful! Furthermore, it tells us to pray continuously! What's more amazing is that it reminds us to give thanks in all cirumstances! Be it good or bad, joyful or tear, sunrise or sunset, give thanks to our Creator! My point is this, as soldiers in Christ, we should continue to pray even in dry seasons! No matter how big the giants that we're facing, all our fears and struggles, how huge the mountain is, we should Keep Praying! Prayer isn't just talking to God, it is also listening to God! If we've got all the time in the world to surf the web, play computer games, go for sports, or doing other stuffs, how about talking to God? I advice you to pray to God everyday!

Check out Colossians 4:2, it also says "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

Imagine if you were apart from someone close to you like a buddy, a family member or a girlfriend. You'd probably use Skype, text, eMaiL or call each other to keep in touch! Prayer is our lifeline to God! That's why we have to remain devoted to talking and listening to Him!

In conclusion, I encourage you to be a devoted man of prayer! =)
