C. LESSON INTRODUCTION:
Prayer is a staff a Christian needs to move with God. It a lifeline of Christianity. Any Christian without the staff of prayer is in a great danger. It is dangerous to be far from God or to be disconnected from Him because the devil will so much deal with such a person (Ephesians 4:7). When we are hot and on fire for God the devil watches us from a far distance, he dares not disturb,but he never relents. This is why it crucial that we maintain our prayer life. A life of consistent daily prayer is a weapon to keep us off the radar of the devil. Jesus admonish His disciples to watch and pray so that they won’t fall into temptation. Luke 2:20.
