- That long-awaited issue of shame that has been tormenting your life and destiny… God will manifest His power in your life
THE PRAYER OF FAITH IS THE PRAYER THAT WORKS
The purpose of prayer is to receive answers and there can be no answer to prayers without faith. That helps us to understand among other things why the subject of faith is of utmost importance so that our prayers cannot be in vain.
- From this season forward, you shall no longer pray in vain.
What is Faith? If you forget any other thing this week, you’ve heard this statement over and again, you must never forget this: that is the fact that faith is engaging the power of God through the altar of prayer.
Every time you go before God in prayer, be reminded that, “I am here to engage God’s power on this altar.”
How powerful is God’s power? Jeremiah 32:17
How great is God’s power? It is so great that nothing is hard for Him – Jeremiah 32:27 - No matter what the situation in your life might be right now, it’s not too hard for God. Say with me: “my case is not too hard for God”
- Daniel (Daniel 6:10)
Daniel, a man of prayer. He prayed 3 times every day and even when it was signed that no man should pray again, Daniel still went back to his house, opened his windows as aforetime, did the same thing: prayed 3 times.
Because he prayed in faith, he was thrown into the den of lions; but because Daniel was a man of prayer, the lions had no power over him (Daniel 6:20).
How was Daniel serving God continually? In prayers. After this happened, the king had to send a word that no one else should pray unto any other god except the God of Daniel (Daniel 6:22, 25).
Daniel, a man of prayer, put the power of God to work, to such a point that the lions had no power over him.
- I don’t know what might have been scaring your life and starring you in the face and challenging your Christianity, as you engage God’s power on the altar of prayer especially combining it with fasting, in this season, I see every challenge of life turning to testimonies for you.
- It happened to Daniel, it will happen for you.
- The God of Daniel is still at work today, He will manifest Himself in your life.
- The God of Daniel will manifest Himself in your situation.
- The woman with the issue of Blood (Luke 8:43-44)
- Even this day, even today, something positive that cannot be denied will happen in somebody’s life.
- That long awaited issue of shame that has been tormenting your life and destiny, just like it was in the case of that woman – 12 years!!! 12 horrible years, it doesn’t matter for how long; TODAY, SOMETHING POSITIVE WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU.
- We serve a God whose power is immeasurable, He will manifest His power in your life.
We must understand very importantly that faith must not be assumed. It has to be consciously cultivated.
Don’t assume faith, you have to build it (Romans 10:17). If faith comes, it also means that faith can go away. Faith has to be consciously cultivated.
HOW DO I BUILD MY FAITH?
Through consistency in fellowship: Not come today, be away tomorrow but consistent. Consistency is the rule of the game.
Psalm 84:7 – spiritual strength, physical strength, mental strength. They go from strength to strength, spirit, soul and body as they appear in Zion. Keep at it, be consistent in fellowship. The truth of the matter is you don’t know what you are gaining when you are consistent in fellowship until you stop being consistent but don’t try it. Because spiritual vacation is a risk. Make no mistake about it, consistent fellowship strengthens faith and it goes the other way round: lack of consistence in fellowship weakens faith.
- Your faith shall not be weakened.
- Keep at it, you are building strength against the day of challenge. By the time those challenges arise, because your faith has been built, your victory is guaranteed.
- You will make it in Jesus name.
Grace from this day forward to be consistent more than ever before in fellowship, receive it in Jesus name.
Faith filled prayer is a requirement for commanding Church growth. Church growth cannot be delivered until it is demanded for on the altar of prayer (Ezekiel 36:37).
- We haven’t seen Church growth yet in this Commission, it is just beginning.
- Now that we are in our 40th year, where we are entering our promised land, the God of Heaven that has made you to be alive in this season; who has made it possible for you to be born in this season spiritually, you will be a partaker of the blessings.
- As you partake in praying for Church growth, you will also partake in the blessings that follow it.
- Your glorification shall be established this season.
- Things that men have thought to be impossible in your life, this time, God will make it possible.
- Keep pressing for the matters of the Kingdom, knowing that you are bound to be a partaker of the glorification of this season.
- This season, you shall be glorified.
- Every area of shame in your life shall be turned to testimonies.
- You have been hearing the testimonies of others, before the end of this prayer and fasting season, you will share your own testimony.
- You will not only share your testimony, you will be a testimony yourself. So shall it be in Jesus name.
Receive grace for consistency in fellowship: in season and out of season. Grace to keep at it, grace never to be weary, grace never to give up.
“Heavenly Father, today I receive grace to be more consistent in fellowship. Never giving up but in season and out of season to be consistent. I receive that grace now. Thank You Jesus.”
