Prevailing Prayers
Good day everyone, I hope you all are not to worried about the rise and fall in BCH because no matter what, it'll get better.
One thing I've learnt while growing up is that always to remember to put God in everything you do, even though it seems small, Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
There are four ways to acknowledge and know God, you can know him by the scripture, by his names( that is, we learn different dimensions of his nature), by studying about Jesus and by prayer. So I'm going to be using today to talk about the assignment of prayer. luke 18:1 says And he(Jesus) spake a parable into them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.

ASSIGNMENT OF PRAYER
The four principal assignment of prayers is as (1) A tool for transformation (2)A platform for making request (3)A tool and platform for spiritual legislation
A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATION
This is the main assignment of prayer because when you pray, you evolve to different dimensions of yourself. Even Jesus prayed according to luke 9:29, it says, And as he(Jesus) prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered and his raiment was white and glistering.
An attack on your prayer life is an attack on your transformation. Deuteronomy 8:17-18. One of the ways to frustrate the flesh is to pray in the spirit because praying in the spirit gives the holy spirit the liberty to search the mind of God .
A PLATFORM FOR MAKING REQUEST AND OBTAINING PROMISES
Mark 11:24 says Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. what this scripture is just trying to say that you must first have the desire to pray and when you pray whole heartedly you shall receive and have them. Philippians 4:6-7 says Be careful for nothing, but in everything by PRAYER and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be known unto God and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
But note prayer doesn't do everything but it should be part of everything. Even though prayer isn't the main key, it is needed to help the hand that holds the keys. For example, prayer doesn't make you pass your examination but prayer helps to get understanding for the books you'll read to pass. What I'm trying to say is that prayers with no work won't provide answers.
AS A TOOL FOR SPIRITUAL LEGISLATION
There is a dimension for creation that is needed for your own decree. Numbers 14:28 says, As truely as I live, saith the lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you.
What I'm trying to say is that make time to decree for your life, don't wait for parents or your friends to prays for you, make time to tell God what you want in your life. I know for a fact that I don't want to have any form of illness this year and I've already decreed it for myself. Have you taken your time to tell the lord what you want for your life? I repeat, don't wait for anybody to decree for you, you all are old enough to make decree for yourself.
The ways the devil has access to a believer is by disobedience and ignorance. Don't be disobedient when following the word of God that is the bible and always make sure you have understanding in the things of God, don't be ignorant and stubborn
Engage in the word of God to access your victory over the devil and understand the power of the name (JESUS CHRIST).
And as I end today's writing, I'll want you guys to always remember to pray.
This is really educative to know how to direct our prayers. Thanks for this
