Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 1 June 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: What Is Prayer?
TOPIC: What Is Prayer? (Seeds Of Destiny 1 June 2024)
SCRIPTURE: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man.
The subject of prayer is one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christendom.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Many people do not actually understand what prayer is all about. There are people who think that prayer only happens when they are facing a challenge or having a need. Such people have no business praying except there is a challenge or a need. They can live for a week, a month and even a year without praying until there is a challenge.
Beloved, is this the purpose for prayer? Is this what prayer is all about? Certainly Not.
Now, what is prayer all about?
I will show you three things that prayer entails:
- Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man (Matthew 6:9a).
“…Our Father which art in heaven…” entails communion or relationship dimension of prayer. Prayer is a platform for communion or relationship between God and man. - Prayer is the platform for the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God (Matthew 6:9b).
“…hallowed be thy name…” entails the worship dimension of prayer.
There is a dimension of prayer that is thanksgiving and appreciation. That is, the only reason to pray is the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God. This is called prayer of adoration. So, prayer is not only asking God for something but also the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God. - Prayer is the platform for the establishment of the rule and will of God in the earth (Matthew 6:10).
“…Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven…” (Matthew 6:10).
This entails the establishment of the rule and will of God in the earth. This is one of the reasons we are concerned and passionate as a church for our Nation. We pray for our nation in order to enforce the will and rule of God in our Nation. So, prayer is a platform where we enforce and establish the will, purpose and agenda of God in the earth as it is in heaven. It is a platform where we enforce what God wants in our lives.
Beloved, having understood what prayer entails, my counsel is, make up your mind to pray effectively. Make prayer a platform for buoyant communion with God, offering thanks, praise and worship to Him and establishing His rule and will on earth.
Remember this: Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Ensure a buoyant communion with God always.
- Offer thanks, praise and worship to Him consistently.
- Pray to enforce His rule and will on earth – in your life, family, community, church and nation.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for opening my eyes to see what prayer entails. I receive the grace to commune with You, offer you thanks and enforce Your will on earth, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
