YOU MUST NOT BE IN A CHURCH PROGRAM FOR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

Matt 6:7-9 "The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.  With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply…..”

        Mark 5:28-34 NIV  “because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." … Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. …. “But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it….He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

   It is common belief that the anointing of God – tends to be more available and more powerful during certain church programs based on certain preparation formula and when certain preachers are present , such belief is behind the avalanche of church programs witnessed in our communities and many persons are more likely to attend such programs than be committed to a particular congregation or live the Christian life , they do not see the need to as long as their needs are met. None of the recipients of Jesus' healing was born again because salvation requires believing in the death and resurrection of Christ  for the atonement of sins. 

  Such programs offer a quick- fix solution to all of life’s problems with organizers attaching attendance as a guarantee to answers to prayers , in some cases invitees are told they need not have faith as the preacher’s faith is sufficient to solve all problems .  Yes , people receive miracles in church programs sometimes based on their faith while some testimonies of miracles are questionable , the truth remains that not all persons receive their miracles during such programs . And many become overwhelmed with disappointment when their expectations  are not met . Imagine having to wait for a church program before you can eat, pay bills,get married, be pregnant and so forth.  Secondly , though our faith in God may fluctuate however it is not so with God's power .The anointing is never more in one place and less in another or at certain times or seasons like the heathen believe of their gods. God (the anointing ) is the same today and for ever (Heb.13:8) we are the body of Christ and His leg is not more anointed than the eye ,the anointing is the same everywhere. Faith is what makes the difference (Rom.1:17)
     Matt 6:7-9 teaches that God does not have a formula that must be followed before a prayer can be answered neither must you be prayed for by a super spiritualist for petitions to be granted . All that is needed is unfeigned faith. The woman with the issue of blood was not following any religious formula before she could receive her healing; all she needed was contact with the living word of God. Scriptures describes Jesus Christ as the word of God (John 1:1-3)  He is all present  and it is the revelation of the power of God in his word that activates faith for the miraculous . The word of God is the power of God also known as the anointing or presence of God .The more a person meditates on God's word , the more aware he or she becomes of His presence in and around us .

  You must not buy a prayer cloth or special handkerchief to receive this power it is were you are right now and ready to deliver you from your sufferings  only if you will make contact through faith. God will not reject anyone that comes to Him through Jesus Christ, the healing door is open twenty four hours of the day .

Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive my healing and deliverance from the strongholds of Satan and his agents in Jesus name.
