We are all different vehicles created by God for Him to travel around and reach various destinations.
Prayer is the fuel that drives Christian life. Just as a vehicle can offer maximum mileage only if it maintains an optimum combination of fuel and oil, the mileage (the souls we gain for Christ) will directly depend on the fuel (prayer) and oil (love) within us. If a vehicle does not give us the mileage that is claimed of it, one of the first things we do, is to take it to the service station. The service station as far as a Christian is concerned is the confessional. Another important factor is the quantum of air (Word of God) in the tyres. A punctured tyre can take even a good vehicle nowhere.
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles.
