THE MOST EFFECTIVE FORM OF PRAYER




By Michael Benson Ajayi
Matt 8:8-9 NKJV  “The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. “
             God loves to hear your voice in harmony with His written word. The word of God is of no effect when unspoken. It is laden with awesome potential energy when left unspoken. Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a thing and is of no use until it is dynamic.    When the word of God is spoken, we convert spiritual energy from the word within our hearts from potential energy to kinetic energy or energy in motion.
           Until energy is in motion or dynamic, nothing moves. This is what happens when we pray out the scriptures .Romans 1:16 AMP says “ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, “ Paul acknowledged the power in the spoken  word in the salvation ( healing, prosperity. deliverance) of a person. It is when the word is spoken that the power for breakthroughs is activated.. The centurion had observed that whenever Jesus spoke the word of God in prayer , there was an extraordinary manifestation of God’s power that’s why he demanded for nothing else but the word of God as it concerns his condition. And as he believed he received the healing of his servant without much struggle.
          The power in a prayer is not in how vocal or energetic we are when praying. Some folks believe that until we twist and turn, screaming at the top of our lungs, then will God answer our prayer. That’s not the case, for God isn’t moved by our pains , cries and tears, He seeks to know whether what we believe is in harmony with His will. God answers prayers when our sole purpose is to validate His word through our testimonies. Let it be said that a person was healed as proof that Isaiah 53:4=5 is valid. Jesus heals to fulfill scriptures Matt 8:17 AMP “And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases. [Isa 53:4.]. Likewise He will prosper a person to fulfill Joshua 1:8.
     The spoken Word is much more powerful than we realize, especially when we pray with a good conscience. The moral consciousness fused with the word of God releases tremendous power. We cannot live without it. The Bible is the absolute truth therefore when we pray
 from the foundation of absolute truth, it is easy to believe, and as we pray out God’s Word , our faith grows.
            Praying with God’s Word, is indicative of our being conscious of our legal rights as children of the Kingdom of God and it intimidates the enemy .He knows the power that is in  the Word of God: It breaks through his defenses and brings destruction to his plans leading to the fulfillment of God’s purposes. Satan fears anyone who knows the Word; they are a threat to Him. It is the ignorance of God’s word that destroys (Hosea4:6). A lot of Christians would rather pursue miracles instead of the Word of God and as soon as they receive a miracle, Satan steals it because it isn’t founded on the knowledge of God’s word.  Let’s not be ignorant of the power we have in the Bible. It is the same authority and power that created the universe and everything is subjects to the authority of God's word.  When we pray with the Word, the spiritual atmosphere around us is changed for the better, thus progressive and sustainable development becomes possible.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
