Greater Works? Greater Prayer!
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:7

John 14:12-13
"If a little's good, a lot's got to be better." You've probably applied that principle at times in your life and found it's not always true. For example, a small amount of pie is good, but a lot is fattening. A small dose of fertilizer helps a plant grow, but a lot will kill it. A little ingredient in a recipe makes it perfect, but a lot makes it a disaster. But there are some areas of life where a lot is always better: prayer, for example.
Jesus once told His disciples something that no doubt amazed them: They would do greater works than He had done. He was leaving the earth and returning to heaven and was commissioning them to continue His words and works—but on a grander scale! While they were pondering that revelation, He told them how it would be possible: through prayer. The works (John 14:12) can only be accomplished through prayer (John 14:13). Imagine the kinds of works we could do if we prayed more than we do! Prayer is an area of the spiritual life where a lot is always better.
If you would like to accomplish greater works for Christ in your life, try starting with prayer. The greater the prayer to God, the greater the works for God.
