POWER OF SHAMELESS PERSISTENCE

December 08, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Luke11:8 But I tell you this—though he won't do it for friendship's sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.

NLT

When I was young, the way I demand for things from my parents was troubling, especially Christmas clothes. Even if they weren't happy about my request, they'll find a way to go get the clothes because of my shameless persistence. Children are good at doing that especially when what they want meets their ego and emotional need.

Jesus told the story of a man that needed something from his friend. His friend was reluctant to give him what he wanted but because he was shamelessly persistent, his friend gave him what he wanted. Jesus was trying to teach about persistence in our prayers to God.

There are issues that require shameless persistence in the place of prayer. You don't relent in prayers after a month because you didn't get what you wanted. If Daniel had done that, he wouldn't get the answers to his prayers of twenty one days. Your persistence in prayers must be shameless and coupled with faith.

You don't stop until you get what you want, that's how to fight your way through in life.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to be shamelessly persistent in the place of prayer till I get result In Jesus name.
