PRAY ALWAYS By Justus Ondieki
Hello and welcome back to our 64th Edition of the Good News Magazine. The world we are living in is full of evils, diseases and all manner of sins. What are believers supposed to do during these evil times? We are told to pray without ceasing! When we look at the history of the church of Jesus Christ, beginning on the day of Pentecost, is filled with wonderful stories of faithful men and women who willingly followed Jesus all the days of their lives regardless of their circumstances. Some stories were filled with joy; for example, the time Peter and John were able to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the temple area, and even though they were arrested, some five thousand men came to believe in Jesus as their Messiah. Other stories were filled with trials and temptations to forsake the faith hence the great persecution.
In every century men and women who loved Jesus Christ have found themselves in situations where they were tempted to deny Him for the sake of momentary relief from persecution including beatings, rejection, and death. The key to their faithfulness under such pressure was based on the encouragement our Lord gave His disciples in word and personal example in the garden of olive trees called Gethsemane just before His arrest, trial, crucifixion, and death on the cross of Calvary as Luke 22:40 puts it,
"…Pray that ye enter not into temptation."
