DAILY GRACE    
TUES. 12TH APRIL, 2016
TOPIC: PRAYER 1
TEXT: LUKE 11:1
                        
 Top of the day to you.This day shall be a favourable and rewarding day for you. Prayer is of paramount importance in the life of every Child of God. It is through the act of prayer that we gain victory over the schemes of the devil (Luke 10:19, Eph. 6:10-18).                           
What is Prayer? 
Prayer is a fellowship or communion  between God and man. It is a dialogue and not a monologue as many people practice. You need to take time out to get feedback from God after speaking to Him. It is what the devil cannot do at all.
 Every Child of God must take prayer very seriously. You must be determined, resolute, and definite in your heart to fellowship with God when you pray (Mark 11:23-24, Heb. 12:22-24). 

  How do we pray effectively?
 As a new creature in Christ Jesus, be willing to continue your prayer with fasting because prayer and fasting will increase your faith in God (Mark 9:29).
 To pray effectively, the following are what you should consider;                
 1. Set a personal time to pray, Just like Jesus did (Mark 1:35, Acts 3:1).        
2. Come boldly to God when you pray (Heb. 4:16)      
 3. Pray to God, the Father (Luke 16:27, 2 Cor. 13:7).           
 4. Pray in the name of Jesus (John. 16:23; 14:13, Rom. 1:8).      
 5. Pray in faith (Mark 11:23,Matt. 21:22).   
 6. Pray believing in your heart (Mark 11:23).                          
  7. Pray in secret/public (Matt. 6:5-6, Acts 4:23-31).       
   8. Pray passionately or earnestly (James 5:16-17, Col. 4:12)  
  9. Live a holy life (1 John 3:22).          
  10. Pray in the Holy Ghost (Jude 1:20, Eph. 6:20).     
  
Beloved, in order to be a victorious Christian, you need to pray without ceasing Just like Jesus did. He prayed all the time in His lifetime.
 Note: To do without praying is to be a prey to the devil. Make prayer your habit!!!
To be continued....

Personal Confession:  Lord Jesus, increase the fire on my  prayer altar and make me live a prayerful life in Jesus name.
