Petition

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear readers, on this wonderful day! Every day God makes all things anew, and His mercies have been renewed for us this morning!We are still reviewing elements of effective prayer. We have established that effective prayer includes worship and thanksgiving, as well as cooperation with God. We also discussed the things we can pray for. Today let’s look at other parts of effective prayer.The next element of effective prayer is request or petition. We can pray for our needs.
«Give us this day our daily bread» (Mathew, 6:11).
Everything that bothers us can be brought to God in prayer.
«Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus» (Philippians, 4:6-7).
We also can pray for other people.
 «..pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much» (James, 5:16).
Also we can ask God for wisdom.
«If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him» (James, 1:5).
Unfortunately, not all people are willing admit that they lack wisdom.We can pray for prosperity as well. It is good and right, on a condition that you bring God your tithe and offerings. Ask God to bless your giving and reward you according to His Word.
 «Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, „if I will not open for you the Windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it» (Malachi, 3:16).
Pray for God to bless the work of your hands and give you opportunity to help other people. If you have a lot of money, then help other people, because God has blessed you with money not just for meeting your own needs, but also to meet the needs of others.
«Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers» (3 John, 2).
This is an example of prayer you can pray.Till tomorrow!May God abundantly bless every one of you today!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Our highest calling – to reveal God in our flesh

    The Bible says: «For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him» (John, 1:17-18).The law can never save people because the law only reveals the sinful nature of man. The law was given in order for people to realize their need for God and His help. It was Jesus who brought to us the truth and the grace that conveys spiritual power necessary to live in accordance with God’s will. Anyone who will accept this truth and grace will have the power to live a holy life and become an instrument in God’s hand that is able to manifest or declare God’s truth and grace to other people.
