PRAYER PRODUCES PRODUCTIVITY



Prayer is the foundation upon which we, as children of God, exercise our legal authority on earth to invoke heaven’s influence on the planet. God gave dominion over the earth to mankind (Genesis 1:26). Therefore, He will not go against what He has said by doing anything in the earth without the involvement of man. Since God gave us such dominion and authority, it is possible for us to experience a higher level of intimacy with Him through prayer in which we manifest His will on the earth, and become a productive agent in the Kingdom of God.
Life for man is designed in the earth to be lived on levels. Each level of life brings with it a purpose: within that purpose God has predestined experiences that will usher us into our destinies. From the beginning of creation it was God’s intent to be in direct fellowship with man, whom he had made as His representative on the earth. This fellowship would allow man to communicate with the Father of creation, thus enable him to live in total obedience to the will of God.
It has always been the will of God for mankind to experience heaven on earth and He is continuously working to establish His kingdom within the earth realm. Anyone who then desires to see the kingdom of God come on earth, He communes with, in order to release to them strategies and revelations that will advance and enlarge His kingdom. Jesus said while living on earth,”My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” (John 5:17). Everything that God desires to do in the earth He reveals to His sons that they may be the channels of manifestation. God uses anyone who lives a lifestyle of obedience and prayer to do His will. Jesus was always in communion with the Father and throughout His ministry would spend countless hours in prayer. Through prayer He was able to receive instructions concerning the earth and what God wanted to do in the lives of His people. This allowed Jesus to display a life of authority and dominion, in which miracles would manifest everywhere He went. This did not happen because of how long or how often He prayed, but because of the relationship He had with His father.
There is a higher level of life in God for you today. The higher you go in God is the deeper your relationship with Him will be. Minutes in prayer will easily become hours and God will be glorified by the works that you will do. Become that productive agent in the Kingdom of God, by spending intimate moments alone with Him. Jesus promised that you would do greater works than He did. I challenge you to take a step to a closer relationship with God through prayer.

John 14:12-14
12: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.13: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14: If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
