FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer demands commitment with consistency.

Daniel 6

Do you have a prayer life?
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Ask engaging laborious prayer as a way of life, not to be a victim of a wicked world.
A prayer-less is not possible to prevail in the wicked world.
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
Engaging in prayer time is not convenient but demands commitment.
Do you have a prayer life?
Is your prayer consistent with commitment? 
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Are you one with denying or delayed experience in the hour of prayer?
Daniel is one with the testimony of engaging prayer with commitment.
The commitment of Daniel is continual without convenience. 
Daniel had a heart for God.
Daniel was experiencing promotion as he purposes his heart for God.
The promotion of Daniel positioned him for untimely termination.
Daniel 6:3 records the reaction of King Darius to Daniel, “Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.”
The promotion experienced a challenge.
Daniel 6:4 records, “So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.”
In all the challenges of Daniel, he resolved to prayer that made him prevail.
Daniel was a prayer vessel.
Daniel 6:10 records, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”
The enemy of Daniel saw what kind of a man Daniel was, yet they wanted to terminate Daniel by pressing for his termination.
Daniel 6:11 records, “Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. 12 And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king’s decree”
The prayer of Daniel was the frustration of his enemies.
The praying of Daniel denied an untimely death over his life.
The king reluctantly gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him to become terminated by the lions.
Daniel prevailed because he was a praying vessel.
There is no substitute for praying to provoke the move of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that praying with commitment before God shall be your way of life.
