HOW TO PRAY FOR A SPECIFIC NEED

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
THEME: HOW TO PRAY FOR A SPECIFIC NEED
TEXT: And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.  Luke 11:1
INTRODUCTION: the disciples understood that the reason their prayers had no effect was not because God doesn’t answer prayers but because they haven’t learnt how to pray. So they asked, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. We too need to learn how to pray. There are many ways of praying, this lesson is by no means exhaustive.
QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS:
1.    OUR FATHER: before you pray, you must have a son-father relationship with God. The prayers of a sinner are an abomination unto the Lord unless he is praying to receive Christ into his life as his Lord and Savior. (Prov. 15:29, Prov. 28:9). A sinner is any man who hasn’t receives Christ as his Lord and savior. Prayer is the communion between God and His children.
2.    PETITION: (Matt. 7:8-10) know what exactly you want and be sure about it, specifically ask God for it in exactness.
3.    GET GOD’S WORD THE SUPPORTS YOUR PETITIONS: (Jer. 1:12, Hosea 14:2) God hastens His word to perform it therefore, when you want to pray over anything, find out God’s word concerning such request. If God’s word supports your request, then take that word with you and personalize it as yours.
4.    WORK WITH THE WORD: (Isaiah 43:26, Rom. 10:10) pray like you are reminding God his promise over your life, then declare God’s word over you like a decree. For example, if you praying for health, get scriptures like Ex. 15:26 where God said He won’t put any disease on us, you pray and remind God of such promise then you declare ‘I have none of these diseases in Jesus name’ and keep declaring it. Keep declaring God’s promise in relation to your specific need and don’t stop till you get your desired result (God’s word works when we work with it)
CONCLUSION: Praying amiss (James 4:3) is when we pray out God’s word. Let’s learn to pray with God’s word and we’ll get results.

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
