THE
EFFECT OF EFFECTIVE PRAYER
We all want our
prayers to be answered and be effective so much that we focus on the results of
our prayers only that we love sight of the incredible privilege we have in
prayer . For people like us to be able to speak to the centre of the universe
is itself an amazing thing. The most astounding thing is the fact that he hears
hear us and acts on our behalf. Jesus who is our lord and savior had to suffer
and die on the cross to even make it possible for us to approach throne of
grace to worship and pray[HEBREWS 10:19-25] .
When we pray , we are communicating
with God, Effective prayer has more to do with the one doing the prayer, has
more to do with the one doing the prayer than it does with how we are to
pray.The bible says on 2 chronicles 7:14, if my people who are called by my
name will humble themselves and pray that he will hear from heaven, forgive
their sins and hear their cry. If only you will humble yourself and pray, you
will be amazed at what God will do because things work faster with prayer .
The bible has example of people who
prayed and how prayer helped them , we have the likes of:
Daniel
[Daniel 6:11] Prayer saved him from the Lion’s den.
The barren
Hannah’s prayer[1 Samuel 1:20]
Apostle Paul
‘s prayers even caused the earth to
shake.
Our prayers should be in line with
God ‘will, but if we do not know what to pray for, Paul reminds us that as
God’s children we can rely on the holy
spirit to intercede for us , as the Spirit intercedes for the saints in
accordance with God’s will[ROMANS 8:27]
BENEFITS OF THE EFFECTIVE PRAYER
1. Prayer
brings you close to God.
2. Prayer
brings help.
3. Your sins are forgiven in prayer.
4. Prayer
strengthens us.
5. Prayer
helps you change your ways.
6. Prayer
brings faster results.
I live you with this:
We
should have the confidence In approaching God.No matter how great our sins ,
fears,problems,pain and trials is , believe on the bible verse [1st
john 5:14-15] that if we ask anything according to his will, he will hear us.
