Soliciting for prayers how efficacious?

 It makes sense to believe that when you solicit prayers from your pastor, your so called father in the lord, your mummy in the lord, your Sunday school teacher and your prayer band leader, when you take your request to the weekly prayer mountain, then God will answer you; it make sense to think so. After all, when prayers continually touch the throne of God over one particular person then God will be compelled to answer. It makes sense to have men and women who you pay every now and then to pray on your behalf, go on fasting on your behalf, and take prayers especially, for your business each time they go on the mountain. When I give my living room to for house prayers every week, God shall easily answer me. The answer to all the above is a shocking NO. With man the above can move him, but not with God. God does not think like man or move like man. If you look at the prayer Jesus give us as a format, you will notice that having many people raising prayer[s] for you does not fly. One man of faith can move God than the prayers of multitude without   faith. One man with faith can pray for a whole nation.  Moses, alone, offered intercession for the nation of Israel and God answered him. Elijah became a loner, spurned and jeered at by the children of Israel when King Ahab was king of Samaria, and under the influence of the foreign and idolatrous queen Jezebel. Under the reign of this king, his wife jezebel brought many prophets from her land and all had great influence and held sway in the politics and spiritual affairs of the land. Judges 2:13, And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtoreth.  The betrayal by the people of Israel was such that Prophet Elijah became a laughing stock to their  children, a testament of how the families see him. All for no just cause. Elijah decided to put an end to this by calling for a context between him, representing YAHWEH, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth. 1 Kings 18:20-23 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto Mount Carmel. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, how long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: You are encourage to read the whole chapter and see how the God of this one prophet gave him victory. What I want to establish here is that God does not require a lot of people before HE answers you if you have faith and a just- cause before you. John 6:37b, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Image
Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total turn out will come from the North. 35 percent do no go to church, the rest belongs to one denomination or the other. Now tell me, have they pr

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS[2]

  MUST ATTEND A CHURCH THAT BELIEVE IN PROSPERITY . The pupilt is what tranforms and build a man. When a pupilt is powerful with the word of God it translates into the life of the people in the pews. When a pastor receives a word concerning healing, prosperity, faith in God, whatever he receives when delivered like a good messenger, not missing it it will robs off on the congregation; that is a church. It is not all the time that God may have a specific word for the church , but it rests on the pastor to give the word like he ought to. See  Romans 1:16,  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. When the word from the pupilt is weak it will give birth to lukewarm christian who are neither strong nor weak. see  Revelation 3:16,  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.If you are really active in your local church then w

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

  Today, we round up this series. I hope the Holy spirit will expand these seeds in you, for indeed, the word of God needs illumination through the working holy spirit. Teachers only ignite the flame and the Holy spirit illumines it to those who are willing. Jesus, our lord and savior, refers to the word of God as the seed which the sower sows, but what makes it grow is the holy spirit which you invite through meditation on the word and allowing it to guide you on every day.   Joshua 1:8,  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. May God bless you as you read. WHAT IS INYOUR HANDS IS ENOUGH FOR GOD TO STAR T. What should always elates the christian is that God does not place a high demand on us in any way; God Started and completed, the work of salvation.  Hebrews 12:2 ,
