ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS ON THE ALTAR OF PRAYER!
The altar of prayer is an altar of wonders. The Bible tells us clearly that everyone that asketh receiveth… (Matthew 7:8). The altar of prayers is an altar of wonders, it is an altar where there is no demand too big to be delivered (Ephesians 3:20). Clearly from scriptures, we are made to see when it comes to engaging the altar of prayer, there is no demand too big to be delivered (James 4:2). We are made to understand that you can’t anything that will actually intimidate God, no matter the request of man, God is able to deliver it.
You must understand when it comes to effectiveness in prayer, there is a demand for specifics. You cannot get the most out of the altar of prayer without being specific (John 16:24).
Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52)
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me”: it was a prayer, it was a cry but it lacked specifics. Jesus called on him and asked a specific question, “what will you have me do?”
Please take note of this, God will never assume your desire, God will only listen to your desire.
Somebody said, “but God knows what I need”: that’s true but God will respond to what you ask.
God may know what you need but God will only respond to what you ask. That is why if you ask nothing specific, God cannot respond to anything that you actually require. The altar of prayer is an altar that demands specifics.
Elijah: In scriptures, we have Elijah praying a number of times but in this particular situation, the Bible says, “Elijah demanded that rain must fall” (1 Kings 18:41-46).
It had not rained for 3 years and 6 months; Elijah wanted just one thing, “Lord, it must rain today.” Not just that it must rain because just saying it must rain means it can rain anytime. 3 years and 6 months had come and gone; Elijah was not willing to have that extended beyond that day. Elijah began to pray; as he began to pray, he sent his servant towards the sea to look and to tell him what he sees. In other words, that prayer must not pass that day: that’s what Elijah was saying (1 Kings 18:43). Elijah stayed there on the Mountain and prayed: that man went 7 times. Elijah stood on the altar of prayer with a specific demand and by the 7th time, the Bible says the man said, “I saw a cloud rising from the sea, just like a man’s hand” (1 Kings 18:44).
In the meantime, the clouds became dark and suddenly the kind of rain they had never seen fell that day.
Why? because of a specific demand.
Ephesians 3:20
You can’t ‘out-ask’ God’s ability. The ability of God will always be superior than your capacity to ask. Elijah asked of God and God delivered.
James 5:17-18
First, No Rain: Heavens responded.
Second, Rain Now: Heavens responded.
Specific demands producing specific delivery.
With God, ALL things are possible, including THAT thing, are possible (Mark 10:27). When we engage God on the altar of prayer, being specific concerning our demand, we can be sure that all things are delivered on our behalf.
Daniel: Daniel demanded access to the secret that the king required and he got it (Daniel 2:16). Even when you sleep on the same bed with a person, you cannot know the dream except they tell you.
Daniel 2:16-19
The secret was revealed unto Daniel in a night vision, don’t forget the Bible says, the secret things belong to God (Deuteronomy 29:29). Daniel required a secret and he demanded it from God; God granted it unto him.
- Whatever secret you are seeking for, in this season, God will grant it unto you.
- The secret to see your business go to the next level, your career go to the next level, your academics go to the next level: in this season, God will reveal it unto you.
- The secret to see your spiritual life jump levels, in this season God will reveal it unto you.
He demanded and God delivered. God will always deliver in the direction of our specific demands.
That’s why for us corporately as a Church, individually in our closet, among other things concerning the advancement of the Kingdom of God, we must continue to engage the city routing God towards the actualization of minimum double the highest Sunday average attendance in this Church since inception this year.
Our God specializes in routing cities (Acts 8:4-8).
This year, this town, all the environs, all the villages will give yield to the Word of God coming from this altar. That means, Lagos, Ota, all the environs, all the adjoining villages; they will give yield to the Word that is emanating from this altar.
“The next sabbath day” (Acts 13:44). It doesn’t take time with God, routing cities is not a long journey with God, He has the ability to do it instantly. This year, we shall see it done instantly and supernaturally in the name of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 2:36
That shall be our testimony in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Concerning our engagement on the altar of prayer, whether it is concerning the Kingdom or anything personal, remember, Be Specific.
“Lord, give me souls this year”: it is not specific, how many souls do you want?
Yesterday, our mother told us that she prays not only on how many souls she wants for the year but breaking it down month by month. Be Specific, that is what gives you access to answers.
My prayer for each one of us is this, that as we stand on the altar of prayers specifically demanding from God what we desire, this year, you will have supernatural deliveries beyond all that you’ve ever seen before.
Your prayer altar will not be barren of answers.
Every time you call on God from this season onwards, there shall be swift responses.
My Father, I receive grace to engage the wonders of specific demands on the altar of prayers. No more vague prayers. No more ambiguous prayers. From this day onwards, my prayer will be specific, targeted with clear expectations, taking delivery of divine manifestations in the name of Jesus Christ.
- From this day onwards, your prayer altar will be an altar of wonders.
- The things that men think to be impossible will be delivered supernaturally on your prayer altar, in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Today is the 3rd day in our 6th module of 3-day sessions within these 21 days season. On the 3rd day, He will raise us up.
On this 3rd day, I see God raising you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
SPEAK CONCERNING THE DAY:
Decree, speak right now concerning this 3rd day:
- This 3rd day, I’m rising up.
This 3rd day, I’m being lifted up.
This 3rd day, I am moving up.
This 3rd day, there shall be dramatic visitations. Dramatic encounters, supernatural deliveries in the name of Jesus. - As you have declared this morning, so shall it be done unto you, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
