HOW TO DISCOVER THE POWER IN PRAYER

HOW TO DISCOVER THE POWER IN PRAYER
Hi friends,

It all happened about 23 years back (I was seventeen years old then); when my brother David led me to Christ and followed me up to join some believers to study the word of God every Tuesday at one of the Christians interior.
At first instance I felt reluctant to join them but through love and constant fellowship with the other Christians, I then know how to pray and what prayer could do for me.
I discovered the power in prayer through:
1. Constant fellowship: like I told you earlier if you want to discover the intensity of prayer you need fellowship with other Christians constantly and allow them to share their experience life of prayer with you, you will be amazed of what God can do through power of your prayer. Fellowship with other Christian is very vital in the journey of prayer fellows. Fellowship with other is like serving your vehicle engine. Fellowship with others is one of the ways of feeding and nourishing your spirit and soul. So it important to join the children of God in spirit of fellowship so you can learn how the power of prayer works. Remember when two or more agree on any thing base on prayer request and pray about it; God will answer them.
2. Reading and meditating on the word of God:
What is prayer? Prayer is talking your mind to God and God giving you answers. And also revealing His mind to you through his word .As we talk to God in prayer, God also talk to us through His words (Bible), not just by reading alone but also by meditating on the word of God. So friends, we need to have time to study the word of God and meditate on them. Remember Jesus overcame Satan through the word of God (matthew4: 4-11). I believe that Jesus also studied the scriptures before the temptation came.
Let me share my experience with you. Some time ago, I was having some challenges about my life and finances. Do you know what I did to overcome?
Firstly I began to search the scriptures related to my challenges.
Secondly I began to apply the word of God through prayer. Then the challenges stop! That is just it! YES.
3. Apply the word of God: I realize the power of prayer through applying what I have discovered in the word of God and it really works for me! My life is full of testimonies because God is faithful to His words. I have called on God on different occasions and locations and God has answered me! Here is the wisdom “the strength of applying the word of God is what I found in the book of psalm 72:1”
There are a lot of people in the bible that prayed and received answered; people like Hannah prayed in the book of I Samuel 1:12-18 and God answer her in I Samuel 2:1-2, Samuel also prayed to God and receive answered (I Samuel 7:9). These examples are the source of my strength to apply the word of God to any situation in life and get the result. I believe if you too can apply the word of God, it will work for you just as power works for me.
4. Faith: Faith is a vital force that make prayer to be answered. You
Cannot apply the scripture without faith. Faith is what connects you
to your miracle. You want apply scripture and see the answer? Then add faith to your application, and then your application wills produce answer Read Mark 11:20 –24. Sometime ago; I wondered how
things were not moving fine for me. Then through studying of the scripture I came across Psalm 67: 5-6 which says” let the people
Praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6v Then shall the earth yield how increase: and God, even our own
God shall bless us”.
Immediately I read these words I applied it with all my heart by dancing, singing and praising God with all understanding and with
Faith in God. Do you know what followed? Good things! Miracle! Joyfulness and gladness from God changes my situation and that is just it! I never lack. Again. God has been faith to his word.
5. Listening to other men of faith will help you to discover the power of prayer; people like Bishop David Oyedepo of Faith Tabernacle, Pastor WF Kumuyi, Of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor EA Adeboye Of The Redeem Christian Church Of God, REV Debo Adeyemo Of Praise Chapel and many other more will really do you good. Listen to their tapes or CD and read their books. This will really help you a lot. Do you not listen to it at once but keep on listening to their tapes and CD every time. Remember faith come by hearing the word of God.
God bless you.
