Many have seen prayer as occasional or just for emergencies but unknown to us is that the Key Elements in Praying is giving ourselves to pray always

Ezekiel 36: 37. Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

Beloved, you can have any of the promises in the Bible fulfilled in your life, by simply believing God. All the saints of old like Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, David the king etc experienced fulfilment of God promises by believing Him, despite the conflicting, seemingly impossible situations they were.

IT DOES NOT MATTER YOUR OWN SEEMINGLY HOPELESS SITUATION TOO, BELIEVE GOD AND ALL HIS PROMISES SHALL BE FULFILLED IN YOUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME.

Luke 1:45. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

However, there is one more thing you must consciously and determinedly joined to your believing God’s unfailing promises.

It is asking or praying to God to do, what He had promised. Failure on the part of anyone to do so, shall make the promise from God a mirage.

THIS FACT WAS WHAT GOD POINTEDLY MADE TO EZEKIEL. HE HAD MADE SEVERAL LOFTY PROMISES TO THE JEWS, BUT SAID, THEY MUST PRAY TO HIM ABOUT THEM, BEFORE THEIR FULFILMENT.

Ezekiel 36: 37. Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

See instances either in the old or new testaments, God’s promises were fulfilled by praying to God to do it. King David in the Old Testament prayed to God to fulfil the promise that his children shall become king after him, a privilege that was denied Saul,,the first king.

2 Samuel 7:25. And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. Also, God promised Elijah to send rain after the three and half years famine in Israel, but Elijah prayed seven times, before God sent the rain.

1 Kings 18:1. And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

1 Kings 18:41-45. And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

Also in the New Testament, the peculiar unique promise made to favoured Mary the mother of Jesus our Lord, to conceive without a man was fulfilled by prayer.

Luke 1:38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Beloved, has God promised you anything. He will surely do as He had said, but remember to take the promise to Him in prayer to get them fulfilled. That is the biblical principle of getting things fulfilled from the ever faithful, loving Father.

GOD’S WORDS IN THE BIBLE SAYS, THEY HAVE NOT, BECAUSE, THEY ASK NOT.

James 4:2. Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

HOWEVER, YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING , BY SIMPLY PRAYING TO GOD.

Psalms 50:15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Isaiah 41:21. Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

Isaiah 43:26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Isaiah 65:24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

BELOVED, YOU NEED TO HELP YOURSELF HOWEVER, LIKE EVERY SAINT EITHER IN THE OLD OR NEW TESTAMENTS, TO BE SAINTLY, FOR YOUR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED. SIN IGNORANTLY OR KNOWINGLY COMMITTED WILL HINDER YOUR PRAYER ANYTIME AND EVERY TIME.

Proverbs 28:9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Proverbs 15:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Isaiah 59:1-2. Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

John 9:31. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

BUT THEN LIKE JACOB, ESCAPED THE VENGEANCE OR RETALIATION OF HIS BROTHER ESAU, BY PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES TO FULFILMENT IN HIS LIFE. YOU TOO DO LIKEWISE.

Hosea 12:2-4. The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. He took his brother by the heel in the womb,and by his strength he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;

Dearly beloved, you have no doubt about the uncommon and unusual love Jesus have for all His followers and you in particular.

IT IS THE DESIRE OF THE LORD FOR YOU TO GET THE BEST FROM HIS FATHER AND YOUR FATHER.

John 20:17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Because of this passionate unchanging desire of the Lord to you, He taught you and every other followers of His, biblical principle of getting things from God. See some of them.

Matthew 7:7-11. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Luke 11:9-13. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

John 16:23-24. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

BUT THEN, HE ALSO ADDED, THAT, SUCH PRAYER SHOULD BE DONE CONTINUALLY, UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE DESIRED ANSWER FROM GOD.

Luke 18:1. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

His followers in the Bible days addicted themselves to following what Jesus said and was further strengthened and affirmed by the blessed Holy Spirit.

Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Philippians 4:6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

1 Thessalonians 5:17. Pray without ceasing.

1 John 5:14-15. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ALL THE THINGS, JESUS DID WERE LEGACIES AND EXAMPLES FOR ALL HIS FOLLOWERS, ESPECIALLY YOU, TO FOLLOW.

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

See the lifestyle of prayer of Jesus from the outset of His ministry at river Jordan to the end of His ministry at Gethsemane.

Luke 3:21-22. Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Mark 1:35. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Mark 6:46: And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

Luke 6:12: And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Luke 22:41-44 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Hebrews 5:7-8. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

SO WHAT ARE ARE YOU WAITING FOR, DO LIKEWISE WHAT, YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR LORD DID, DURING HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY AND SAME RESULT SHALL BE YOURS FROM GOD IN JESUS NAME.

JESUS REACHED OUT TO HIS FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS, ESPECIALLY YOU AND CONSTRAINED THEM TO PRAY.

Friend, prayer will have so much to do in helping believers like you to be part of the dawning rapture.

THIS IS BECAUSE, THE DEVIL AND HIS COHORTS WILL TROUBLE EVERY DETERMINED PERSON LIKE YOU, TO MISS THE EVENT, BUT THEY SHALL WOEFULLY FAIL IN JESUS NAME.

Revelation 2:10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

However,, the only prayers God will answer are from faithful and obedient believers like you, not stubborn and impudent worldlings and churchgoers.

Proverbs 1:22-32. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

In spite of the never ending challenges that confronted our beloved brother in the person of apostle Paul, he prayed his way to glory. God shall do same for you as you pray in Jesus name.

2 Timothy 4:17-18. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

So keep on praying for yourself and other believers globally, that God should uphold and deliver us from every satanic challenges, till we are all raptured in Jesus name.

Ephesians 6:18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; See you at the top in Jesus name.

See you at the top in Jesus name
