WHAT IS PRAYER?
Prevailing in prayer with God before prevailing with men, means that you prepare yourself for war before stepping into it to fight. Prayer is your intimate communion and conversation with God your Father. It helps you to build your ground and become bold, confident and vibrant in the world.
You must take into account the direction of the Holy Ghost/Spirit first before making/taking decisions. You gotta put God first in everything before waging physical and spiritual wars. Look at the kings in the Old Testament. Example ‘David’.
David was in an intimate relationship with God. He always depended on the mighty strength and power of God to make Him great and victorious and stand out. You stand out with God and in God , when you come to Him. And therefore, you will become victorious in the Spirit already before you pass on that victory to your physical life; God with His Spirit, made you prosperous.
Now, the Holy Ghost wants to help you achieve your purpose, God’s will and destiny for your life. He wants/needs your attention in order to touch you and change the lives of others. We should not restrain the Holy Ghost because He is our Helper.When the Holy Spirit wants to change your life, you must be submissive,; You must submit to Him. As the Holy Ghost is in you, He can touch and change people’s lives through you.The Holy Spirit is in the Word of God waiting for the entrance of your spirit. When you take the Word and get it into your Spirit by meditation, you become more glorious, a shining light before men getting brighter and brighter as you read the Word. That becomes your transformation and your lifestyle. Because of that new level of glory, when you step into a place or your neighbourhood or your environment, that light in you will cause a change. You will begin to influence your environment and those demonic spiritual entities of the devil drown and flee away. With prayer you achieve a lot of things, namely;
- Prayer helps you maintain you focus: In prayer you focus more on God and in the things that He wants you to come to. When you align your mind in prayer to enjoy hear and receive from the Spirit,It will delight and enlighten you. Prayer helps you to put and keep all your attention on God and the Spirit. Your mind is being taken away from the distractions of this world and travels/ goes on a journey with God.
- Prayer helps you maintain inspiration: It helps you keep your glow and maintain your faith and confidence in Christ Jesus.You know who you are by spending time with the Word of God and in prayer. Your inspiration, your fire, your passion are all maintained through prayer. Your fist love for God, your hunger should continue to remain standing for you are a child of God. The Bible says: “Ye are Gods, children of your Most high God”. When you want to partake in ministry work or want to evangelise, through praying in the Holy Ghost, you become charged and fear is gone, then you can step out as a bullet piercing the atmospheres of your environment. Hallelujah!
We are supposed to intercede for others by praying for them not with logic but in love and by the Spirit meaning that when you are praying for someone you are doing it in with the ming of God; being compassionate and expressing love in Christ Jesus just as He did. You don’t pray with your own strength but with the strength that the Holy Spirit deposits inside of you and you focus on the prayer. You don’t just say you’ve prayed for 15, 20, 30 minutes and say you are done praying. NO!, Prayer must be your lifestyle which burst from the fire passion, hunger and desire of your spirit.
As a child of God, you must NEVER stop praying, but remaining ever vibrant. Even when you pray for someone, do it consistently cos it’s not a joke, there are devils and spiritual entities everywhere, so you must be strong and put yourself together. That is one way of how you express your love to your neighbours.
“PRAYER IS A PART OF YOUR LIFESTYLE.”

His Spirit is always available to us. The revelation you receive when you read the Word of God come from the Spirit which is then transmitted unto us. We are partakers of the Divine nature and Life of God. We need to make up our minds to get up and start working with God.

The Fullness of God
You are filled with the fullness of God by the love of Christ transmitted by the Spirit. Paul walked in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. When you walk with this fullness, your actions and words and your entire being, begins to change. You’re gonna perform and do better than you did before. This fullness makes you to be flooded with glory.
We are partakers of the Divine Nature
The Life of God is in us. He gave us His divine nature and made us in His own image and lifestyle. Everything in our lives is meant to express and reflect His marvelous glory and light. Since we have His Spirit and we are born of Him, We walk in His righteousness and perfection. God’s righteousness causes us to be right and perfect all the time so that we can avoid mistakes and always go towards the right path.
The Spirit DIRECTS Us
We must learn to give ourselves to the Holy Ghost and not restrain Him. We’ve got to yield, connect and submit ourselves to Him and let go of the things around you. When you pray and you speak are lifted up in the spirit, or you speak in tongues, it is the Holy Spirit who impacts your spirit and inner man. Your spirit is channeled and controlled by Him.
In worship, you sing unto God even in prayer, you do the same. This opens up your emotions to the Spirit and you become channeled to faculties. The groans and the sounds you make in either prayer or worship come from the Spirit and they are expressed through you. You can’t control them but only the Spirit can. Those are His emotions which become connected to you and make your emotions, heart and mind to be rested on Him. The spiritual songs we play are very good, but you have to choose the right one by the Spirit to enable you get yourself to line up and get close to/with His presence. We are the Sons of God whom are led by His Spirit.
Thank you God bless you. Love you.
