PRAYING ACCORDING TO DIVINE PATTERNS II
(Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)
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. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen”.
We did discuss the fact that prayer is most effective when it is done according to divine patterns. There are laid down prescriptions on how we ought to approach prayer as we build our prayer lives. There are points that must be contained in your daily prayers, and this makes you effective in prayer.
Jesus gave us the pattern in our text above, and we discussed a few points in order a few days ago.
The continuation is as follows:
-The fourth point is “Thy Will Be Done”.
Let your prayer be channeled towards enforcing God’s will on earth. God’s will is God’s word, and anything seen or done contrary His word should be prayed against. God’s will must be done on earth.
-Ask for your daily bread.
Your needs shouldn’t come up in prayer when you have not sufficiently dealt with all the other points mentioned above. How horrible it will be for you to just jump into your needs in prayer as number one, when it is actually number five in the pattern. That is why many never get answers to prayer.
-Make sure you are in God’s forgiveness.
You cannot hold grudge against people and be seeking forgiveness yourself.
-Pray for divine direction against temptations.
-Ask for deliverance from evil.
-Then, end with worship.
Follow this pattern in your daily prayer fellowship and you will be extremely effective in your prayer life.
Action Points
i. Go over these two messages again (part one and two).
ii. Begin to practice it from today, right now.
iii. Be consistent with it, till it becomes a default pattern in your spirit.
Prayer
-Lord I refuse to be foolish in prayer from today in Jesus Name.
Nugget
Prayer is most effective when it is done according to divine patterns.
