THE FORCE OF SHAMELESS PERSISTENCE

February 23, 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.

Jesus was teaching his disciples about prayer in Luke Chapter 11. He told them the story of a man who had a visitor at midnight but there was no food. He had to go meet his friend to give him some loaves of bread so that he can give them to his visitor but his friend refused. He also refused to go and because of his shameless persistence, his friend answered him. Jesus was trying to say that anyman that also persist in prayers will surely receive answers from God.

There is a dimension of prayer where you have to apply the force of shameless persistence. It is a die-hard mode, you don't stop knocking until the door is open neither do you stop asking until you receive. At midnight, you ask for the same thing, at noon, say the same thing even in the morning, you register the same words. If there is a man that will pray, there is a God that'll answer.

Let the angel assigned to you work tirelessly until result is achieved. Great things can only be birthed when we are shamelessly persistent. Our shameless persistence must be word and faith-based. Shameless persistence in doubt and unbelief under the guise of prayer will result to shameless persistence in sorrow and misery.

Only desperate men can open the floodgates of heavens because there are serious contentions over your breakthrough, success, miracle baby, job and promotion in the heavenlies.

Action point

Father, I refuse to be tired until my shameless persistence yield fruit In Jesus name.
