READ: Mark 14:32-50
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
MESSAGE:
Prayer is the key, prayer is the key prayer is the master key. Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer. Prayer is the master key. Today’s Bible reading tells us the story of Jesus contending for His life through heartfelt prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane. All through Jesus’ stay on earth, He was a prayer champion; He never did anything without praying. Before He began His ministry, He went into the wilderness to fast and pray; as a result, He was able to overcome the temptations satan threw at Him. At other times, Jesus would separate Himself and go into the mountains just to pray. Just before He was arrested and crucified, He prayed fervently. He knew His purpose – death on the cross – was a difficult one, so He cried to His Father for strength so He could accept His Father’s will and purpose for His life.
My dear child, no one can fulfil God’s purpose for his or her life without contending in the place of prayer. This is because the devil never wants God’s children to fulfil their purpose on earth. It is important that you incorporate prayer into your lifestyle so you can overcome the devil.
KEY POINT: Jesus prayed all through His lifetime; you must also pray.
