THE POWER IN PRAYER - Setting differences aside to honor and submit to God

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2Chronicles7:14 

President Kenyatta among other dignitaries at the prayer venue

These words, simple but powerful, kept being repeated in the national prayer breakfast held in Nairobi today June 20^th 2013 which brought together all our leaders from the executive, Judiciary, Senate, National assembly, Governors, County leaders, religious leaders, Private sector leaders  and diplomats from all over the world among other dignitaries.

I really wouldn’t hold my joy back seeing how the event was held, from the reading of the scriptures and prayers being led by our own leaders including the cabinet secretaries, Governors, senators, police inspector general we even had our Parliament Choir (made

up of parliamentarians) present a special number. I have never before seen this and knowing the power therein prayers; I can’t help but give glory to God.

You may not see the sense in it, or you may not even think that it is significant, but trust me, there is power in prayer. Prayer can change your life. It is through prayers that we communicate directly to God. There has to come a time in your life when you have to swallow your ego, put aside any differences and hold hands together to honor God and humbly submit to him.

There are things you can’t solve alone, there are answers you can’t get by your education or wisdom, there are issues you can’t solve, and there are mountains and problems you just can’t get rid of. Only prayer can solve that which you can’t. 

You might say you don’t know how to pray; it is all about speaking to God in sincerity and if you can manage a conversation between you and a friend, then you definitely can talk to God as well and that is prayer. 

We all might not be perfect but the truth stands out that, this day surely will go down the history lane as a moment that changed a lot in the spiritual realm and henceforth shall bring physical manifestation. Speaker of the senate said on a light note…” we take God by his word, we have gathered more than one and have humbled to seek his face; therefore God has no choice but to heal our land”.
