There’s a falling away of many in today’s Christianity. Majority of Christians have been distracted from the basics of Christianity. They are now after the “additions” instead of pursuing “the Kingdom of God and His righteousness”.
This is the testimony of how I overcame backsliding at one of the weakest moments and darkest season of my life. I am sharing it with the Body of Christ to let us know that standing strong in the Lord and overcoming backsliding is entirely without our personal human strength, but by God’s grace. I hereby encourage you to stop measuring your personal strength before choosing whether to obey God or keep His commands. Brethren, if you lack strength don’t lack zeal. Even if your flesh is weak let your spirit be willing.
“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (John 21::15-17)

Prayer is communication with God. Prayer attracts the attention of God and makes angels to spring into actions. It brings down the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence. Prayer is one of the ways we can fan our fire of the altar of our bodily temple into flames and make the body a conducive temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell. Prayer drives away demons that attack our relationship with God. If you can “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and “every where, lifting up holy hands” (1 Timothy 2:8) you will always keep the fire of your altar burning, and fellowshipping “with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3).
