IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN A PRAYER LIFE AND NOT BE TRANSFORMED IN LIFE AND IN CHARACTER.
THE PLACE OF PRAYER IS THE PLACE OF LIFE TRANSFORMATION AND CHARACTER RENOVATION.
PRAYERLESSNESS INCREASES VULNERABILITY; THE PLACE OF PRAYER IS THE PLACE OF PRESERVATION OF LIFE AND DESTINY.
GOD IS A PRAYER ANSWERING GOD AND HE IS COMMITTED TO ANSWERING THE PRAYERS OF HIS PEOPLE.
-Pastor Paul Enenche on ‘PRODUCTS OF PRAYER’ (Part Two)
First Service, Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
Father, we worship You; what a good way to be wasted, completely, absolutely wasted on You.
- The Great Physician is about to move in our nation and in our lives.
Jesus, thank You for being so real. Thank You for the anointing on Your name; it is delivering the oppressed, healing the sick and rescuing the oppressed. Church Gist. Thank You for the power over our nation and over the lives of the people. Thank You for deliverance; be glorified, be honoured and be adored. Thank You Master, thank You Adonia, blessed be Your name in Jesus precious name.
- I see a very deep move of the Spirit of God and He has some wonderful things to do in our lives today.
Blessed be Your name Lord, in Jesus precious name.
I bring you greetings in the first place, from Jos, Plateau State. We had the most explosive crusade time in Jos and very soon, we shall see some of the clips.
“PRODUCTS OF PRAYER (Part 2)”
Luke 9:29-31
Our objective this morning is to understand the dividends and the benefits of prayer. We saw from last Wednesday that we serve a Prayer Answering God. We serve the God who is a Rewarder of the diligent seeker (Jeremiah 33:3). Church Gist. We saw examples in scripture in the lives of Jacob (Genesis 32:24-28), in the life of Elijah (1 Kings 17:1, James 5:16-17). We saw in these lives that God is a Prayer Answering God and He is committed to answering the prayers of His people.
What are the products of prayer? What kind of answers do we expect from the life of prayer? We started in the Mid-week Service;
1). Spiritual power and authority. People who pray, they walk in spiritual power and authority.
2). Access to divine plan and purpose. You will never miss your purpose in life if you understand what it means to pray. Church Gist. You will never miss the reason why you were created if you understand what it means to pray.
3). Access to divine mysteries and secrets. “I will show you great and might things which you knew not.”
4). Access to the blessing of God. Prayerful people end up as blessed people.
5). Access to divine voice and direction (Jeremiah 33:3, Jeremiah 6:16, Habakkuk 2:1). Please note the following:
a). The place of prayer is the place of divine direction; it is the place of access to the voice of God.
b). Prayer is a two-way channel of communication. Church Gist. We speak to God and we listen for God to speak to us, either by the Spirit or from the Word.
- I believe that somebody’s hearing of God’s voice will be clearer today!
Examples in scripture:
i). David, at the place of prayer, David secured divine direction for total recovery (1 Samuel 30:8).
ii). Daniel. Daniel received direction concerning the captivity of his people of Israel at the place of prayer (Daniel 9:2-23).
- I announce to someone here today, in the name of Jesus, that direction you need for the turnaround of your life is coming your way right now!
- That direction you need for marital matters is coming your way right now!
- That direction you need in the area of business, where to put your money in; that direction is coming your way right now!
- That direction you need in your career pathway, which line of career to face? That direction is coming your way right now!
Somebody lift up your hands and say;
“I receive direction, I cannot miss direction. Today, at this place of prayer, I receive direction.”
- Everyone who already missed direction, I decree you shall be re-directed!
- Every spell of confusion, every spell of mis-direction is broken right now!
- You will not end in the wrong marriage in the name of Jesus!
- You will not end with the wrong business partners in the name of Jesus!
- You will not end on the wrong career pathway!
Why do we get directions at the place of prayer? Very simple, because we serve a God who is a Speaking God (Psalm 85:8). He is a Speaking God. The idols of the Gentiles have mouth, but they cannot speak. They have ears, they cannot hear, the have hands that can’t move, they have feet that cannot move, but we serve a Speaking God (Matthew 4:4). Church Gist. So, if you hang around the Speaking God, you will hear what He is saying that pertains to you. Not everything He is saying belongs to you, but because you are in His vicinity, you happen to hear something He is saying that pertains to you and means something to you and changes your life.
At the place of prayer, you can tune your hearing to hear what this Speaking God is saying.
6). The transformation of life. Prayer occasions the transformation of lives. Two things to note here:
i). The place of prayer is the place of life transformation and character renovation. Church Gist. It is not possible to maintain a prayer life and not be transformed in life and in character (Luke 9:29, Ecclesiastes 9:8). Prayer will make the garment to be white according to how God expect it.
ii). Prayer does not only change things, prayer changes people. What is exciting is that, the person who prays is changed by his prayer. So, prayerlessness equals changelessness. The easiest way for a man’s life to remain the same is for that person to remain prayerless. We just saw an example, number one, our Master Jesus experienced the change of garment at the place of prayer (Luke 9:29).
- Everyone here today who is putting on any dirty garment, any filthy garment, any unclean garment, any garment that is limiting your life and your destiny; at this place of prayer and in this service this morning, there shall be a change of garment and identity!
ii). Jacob experienced a complete change of identity at the place of prayer. A complete change of identity from Jacob to Israel at the place of prayer (Genesis 32:28). Church Gist. The complete change of identity at the place of prayer and it was not just a change of identity, but a change of capacity. Jacob is a person, but Israel is a nation and that was what happened to him at the place of prayer.
- I speak to someone here prophetically, there is a change of identity coming your way, but there is also a change of capacity coming your way!
- In the name that is above every name, change is coming your way!
iii). Jabez, he experienced a change of life at the place of prayer (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).
- God is granting somebody’s request in the name of Jesus!
What is it that makes prayer to change people?
a). Prayer brings us into contact with the Presence of the consuming fire (Deuteronomy 4:24). Our God is a consuming fire, coming into His presence is coming into the climate of the consuming fire; you don’t remain the same. Church Gist. That was the climate Isaiah came into (Isaiah 6:1-7).
- Something is changing in somebody’s life here!
- Before this month is over, people who know you will be shocked at what they see our of you!
7). The preservation of life and destiny (Daniel 6:10, 20-22, Daniel 2:16-19). Take note of two things:
a). The place of prayer is the place of preservation of life and destiny and prayerlessness increases vulnerability. That is, prayerlesss people are vulnerable people to the enemy’s agenda.
b). Spiritual intensity increases destiny immunity and security. When you become spiritually intense, your life becomes spiritually secured (Psalm 91:1-2). Church Gist.
We already saw example of Daniel, how he and his companions were preserved (Daniel 2:16-19).
- I see your preservation coming!
- No man born of a woman will take your life before your time!
- Whether they call themselves witches or wizards or terrorists or bandits or kidnappers or ritualists; if it is a woman that born him, he cannot take your!
- Jesus Christ said, “no man taketh my life from me. I have the power to lay it down and I have the power to take it up again.” Nobody enjoying their own breath will take your own breath!
- Nobody who desires to live will deprive you of life!
- If they like death, they will kill themselves first!
- Nobody who desires life can deprive you of your own life!
- If they desire death, that death will be their portion!
- Nobody who desires life will deprive you of your own life in the name of Jesus!
