Prepare : Help me see the power in prayer.
Read : Luke 5:1-16
The building being constructed for a proposed casino was destroyed by a hurricane. The management filed a case against the town's church who was praying against the town's church who was praying against the business establishment. The church denied it had anything to do with the incident, The judge, amused, said, "I am now caught between a casino that believes in the power of prayer and a church that does not."
We see another day in the life of Jesus:
Teaching: Some quick thinking made possible a speaker's podium that could better manage the pressing crowds.
Miracle: As a result of simple obedience, a night of failed attempts is followed by a miraculous catch of fish that exceeded all expectations and preparations.
Appointment to ministry: Peter is given a call and promise in Jesus ministry. The fisherman and his friends abandoned all, right after the biggest catch of the lives. They were off to catch men for God.
Healing:The leper's healing is a great lesson of faith in action.
Having accomplished all this in a single day, Jesus goes off by Himself to pray. This was necessary for Him to be able to repeat tomorrow, all of today's work. If the Son of God Himself needed prayer for His ministry and daily life, how much more do we need it?
Prayer is the set of wheels on which the Christian ministry runs. Our ministry to men should be part of our relationship and time with God.
Respond: I will pray without ceasing.
