Engaging the Wonders Specific Demands on the Alter of Prayers – Bishop David Oyedepo
John 16:24 — generalized prayers don’t count much with God Mark 10:47-49 — Only specifics fly with God on the alter of prayer James 1-3 — Love is the foundation of the prayer that works
God has to be at the center of my desire for my desire to fly. Faith works by love and prayer works by faith 1 Samuel 1:11 — Every desires with God at the centre flies. Solomon demanded for wisdom to fulfil God Purpose 1 Kings 3:7
We must continue to make specific demands for salvation of souls, their retention, church growth with all intent and purpose to glorify God. Every time we pray the will of God, Heaven respond 1 John 5:14-15
God’s will will never deliver on its own, there is a biblical requirement for every child of God to take delivery Luke 6:46
You have to recognise that we are born of grace. Its not what we do or didn’t do, it’s an act of divine favour. There are things we must do to exercise that favour. For example, God only favour only righteous people Psalms 5:12 — Favour does not pertain to the crooked 1 John 3:7
We must not abuse this favour Romans 9:13/19
How to Activate God’s Favour
- Commit to serving God and the interest of His Kingdom Psalms 35:27 Psalms 103:12-15 (Fearful favour is what we call Fortune). You can’t miss out of His favour while advancing His Kingdom. You can’t be sold out to God in truth and indeed and miss out on His favour Matthew 6:33. No matter how a man who is not a giver prays, he can never prosper, it’s what a man sow that he will reap Proverbs 28:27 Isaiah 38:3
Praying God’s will is what engender confidence on the alter of prayers.
Salvation will not take anyone to Heaven, we must take responsibility for sanctification — No unrighteous man shall inherit the kingdom of God
