PRAYER: A JOYFUL RESPONSE TO GOD'S INVITATION
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us (1 John 5:14).
Ephesians 6:18 says, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Notice that it says, “Praying always”; not “Praying sometimes.” It parallels what Jesus said in Luke 18:1: “..Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
lf you’re a praying Christian, you'll be an effective Christian; effective through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said to His disciples, “...without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). In prayer, you maintain that connection in your communication; you remain open to His will and bring others to Him in your heart, as you pray for them.
Some think prayer is the response of the helpless or the weak to insurmountable and overwhelming challenges; no! Prayer, primarily, is fellowship with God; and even though when one is oppressed. or suffers injustice, he should pray, that isn’t the reason for prayer. Prayer is the joyful response of the one who, with a heart full of faith, trusts in the living God.
Prayer is a response, more to God’s invitation to pray, than the response to a situation. He invited us to pray because He intended to answer. So, the greatest part of prayer isn’t the prayer itself; it’s the answer. We haven't had a great prayer time if we didn’t receive answers to our prayer! Irrespective of what we have said in prayer, it’s God’s response that truly matters.
Thanks be unto God! We’re ordained to receive answers when we pray, because He said if we pray according to His will-His rule for prayer, which is praying in the Name of Jesus-He hears us. If He heard us, then He answered us. That’s the beauty of prayer: the fact that we’re guaranteed of a hearing (1 John 5:14). You ought to rejoice each time you pray, and say like Jesus, “Father, I thank you, because you hear me always” (John 11:42). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the blessing, privilege and opportunity of prayer; a channel for rich fellowship with you. I trust you with my life, and I’m confident that my future is secure; I'll fulfil your destiny for me gloriously, as I remain yielded to your Spirit, guided by your wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that the Lord has made my life so beautiful! His divine power has bestowed on me [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called me by His own glory and excellence.
I rejoice in His infinite grace and boundless love, for He has caused me to dwell in prosperity in Christ Jesus! I am living triumphantly, every day, enjoying my life, and celebrating the greatness of God in me.
I’m walking in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel, triumphant always and in every place, making manifest the savour of the knowledge and glory of Christ. Hallelujah.
I am rightly positioned in Christ; the devil and the cohorts of hell can never lord it over me. I’ve been granted the authority to cast out devils, speak in tongues, and walk in victory and dominion over Satan, the world, and its systems. Hallelujah!
I am highly favored of God and empowered by grace for the triumphant life! I am full of the Holy Ghost! Daily as I affirm the Word, my spirit is edified, conditioned, and my victorious path is paved! I am strengthened and fortified to do the things of God and exercise dominion over circumstances. Hallelujah.
I walk in the supernatural, demonstrating the wisdom and character of the Holy Spirit, my sole source of power, strength, ability, and inspiration. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
