My greetings to you my dear friends! May the grace and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you!Yesterday we defined a habit as a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness.We also determined that in order to grow up by making your life in prayer effective, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer. You have to know what prayer is and and why you have to pray. You need this knowledge, since it will stimulate you to pray.The Bible says, that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. What shall I do when I feel my prayer doesn´t work well. Shall I read a book about upsurge and healing, or listen to a sermon about liberation from curse, maybe I should blame devil and demons for all failures of my praying life. It´s them who set obstacles for me. Quite often people blame devil for all failures in their life. When I listen to the sermons constantly focusing on satan and demons I ask myself, whom are we preaching and whom are we glorifying? Read gospels to see what Jesus said to the demon. He said: “leave him” then continued his way. It´s not a satan fault that you don´t practise praying.If you want to grow up in your life in prayer, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer, listen to the sermons about prayer and its benefits. Listen to the testimonies of those who practise praying and move away the conditions and problems they are surrounded by and grow up in God. People of prayer face many difficulties in their lives, but none of those was able to stop them. Why? They know how to pray, they know how to have fellowship with God, they never accept a negative answer. Such people are “hanging” on God. Read about it, broaden your knowledge base. The Bible should be the book we study the most among all other literature. Which one of you thinks he needs a breakthrough in his life in prayer. Trying to develop habits do one habit at a time, not many. Think about what is the most essential habit for you now. If, for example, you need to develop a habit of praying, do it. Practise it on regular basis for 20 days first, then for 3 or 6 months. Make sure you have en-grafted this habit into your daily life. Only then handle the next useful habit.We have to develop effective life in prayer – God is saying to us nowadays. God´s word is the word that brings up winners. It builds up a church the gates of hell shall not prevail against. That´s why our attitude to what God wants to brings to us through this message is so important.
“…but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2).
By virtue of prayer we keep our spirit contrite and broken before God, and feel trepidation about word of God.May the Lord bless you abundantly!See you tomorrow! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

We see that Jesus experienced serious difficulties in the days of His earthly life, but He did not focus on them. Jesus was busy serving the Father and those He was sent to serve. While Jesus served people, the Father made sure people ministered to Jesus; God met Jesus’ needs through His ministry.When we serve others, God motivates others to serve us. We always reap what we have sown. We do not serve people because we do not have any problems, – we serve people because it pleases God. And when we serve, despite the fact that we have problems, needs and concerns, God makes sure some people that we do not even know serve us by meeting our needs

«Therefore whoever hears these saying of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these saying of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on the house; and it fell. And great was its fall» (Mathew, 7:24-27)

«For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known». (1st Corinthians 13:9-12).
