BEING DEVOTED TO PRAYER WITH GOOD CONDUCT - Rev. Dr. Joseph Aliyu

We know workaholics, alcoholics and sports fanatics — people consumed by something. Paul calls believers to be that consumed by prayer. In this message from Colossians 4:2–6, we're challenged to drop the "prayer contractor" habit of paying others to pray for us, and to pray like Daniel under a death decree, Nehemiah for his nation, Hannah in her agony, and Jesus through the night. Along the way: practical helps for a real prayer life — praying alert and aloud, the ACTS pattern, praying Scripture back to God, and why your spouse should be your first prayer partner. And the other half of the charge: what happens in the prayer closet must show up in your conduct — wise toward outsiders, speech always seasoned with salt. Paul completed his letter; will you complete your part?
