HOW TO PRAY (PART 1)

Scripture: Psalm 91: 15

 

Topic: One hundred Percent answered prayer Part 1 



In this series of our Quiet Time, we study ways in which a believer can receive one hundred percent answers to their prayers. Prayer is not part of the ministry but Prayer IS the ministry. The “Lord of the harvest” is waiting to answer our prayers as concerns the harvest fields that are already white and ripe for harvest. 

 

 

“He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.”

                                                                                                                                          

Psalm 91: 15 

 

Prayer is a privilege that God has given to his children. We can talk to our heavenly Father directly and receive answers. Why pray if you will not receive an answer? 

 

Many people take prayer as some kind of religious routine they must perform. God’s word guarantees us a hundred per cent results every time we pray. If you look closely at the scriptures that speak about prayer, you will discover that Jesus did not say that we might possibly (perhaps, maybe, in the sweet by and by, all things remaining equal) get an answer to our prayers. He said that we would get an answer!

 

I want you to receive one hundred per cent results every time you pray. If it is real, It is real! If it is not real, it is not real! If God exists, the He can answer your prayer. 

 

Is God alive? Is God real? Can He hear? Is He deaf? I am sure you know the answers to these questions. God is alive and well and He wants to bless you. If my God were a piece or a stone, I would not serve Him. We do not worship the sun, the moon or the rivers. We worship a Living God who has power to save and to deliver. 

 

Elijah once challenged the false prophets of Baal. He told them, “There is no use in serving a god who is not available. Our God is either alive or He is dead”. 

 

“…. Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry loud: for he is a god; either he is talking or he is pursuing [using the bathroom!], or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.”

1 Kings 18:27 

 

…what am I trying to say? If God is alive, then He must be ablw to respond to you. He has given us His Word and He has given us His Word and He has promised to answer our prayers every time. 

 

“ He shall upon me, and I will answer him”.

 Psalm 91:15

“ Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer”

Isaiah 58:9

 

These scriptures tell us that God will answer us. God shall answer! How much more definite can be? Either the bible is true or it is not true. Either you believe it or you do not! Jesus said, 

 

“ And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and y shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”.

Luke 11: 9

There is no word that expresses a stronger assertion than the Word shall. 

 

I see God answering your prayers right now!

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
