DECODING THE PRAYERS

It is a known fact that prayer is one of the most powerful force ever exist. Also our environment today is coming to the realization that they need that prayer.

The question is:

How effective is our prayers?

Are we praying the right prayers?

Are we meeting the conditions of these prayers?

 There its need to understand the kind of prayers we pray. When you see a prayer point in books or at church meetings, it is just skeletal. We are expected to flesh it.

Illustration story:

There was a pastor somewhere who does not believe in warfare prayers (the MFM style), even though he understands and knows about this prayers.

On day he was baptizing some young convert at the beach. By the time he had baptized about three of them; it was the turn of this fair kin young lady. We the lady stepped into this shallow water, right in from of every one, she vanished.  The pastor was now in trouble and the other members almost went to call the police, then he remembered the mfm prayers he used to preach against.

As he began to pray those prayers, in about 5mins, the lady appeared back.

The pastor understood more that times have change.

Gone are the days where we should be praying the gentle man prayer. May be the prayers used to work years ago but not now, there is a change in tide.

Matthew 11:12

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

  We need to know the secret and the powers that these kinds of prayers carry.

There are varieties of prayers, there are prayers and there are prayers. They are more powerful than each other

In the Christian world of today, there its momentum ignorance and it is not helping us at all.

If we look through the scriptures, you will see several prayer points that were prayed by men in the bible.

We should understand the type of prayers that will demolish stubborn problems. There are some prayers that can never fail.

Powerful Prayers in the Bible

1. O God arises and let my enemies by scattered, in the name of Jesus.

Psalm 68 King James Version (KJV)

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

² As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

³ But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

⁴ Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name, and rejoice before him.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The prayer can also be personalized as; O God arise, and let my enemies be scattered

  This was the origin of that old powerful song:

[Chorus:]

Let God arise and His enemies be scattered
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered

Let God
Let God
Arise!

This prayer was not originated by David but by Moses,

Number 10:34-35

34The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,

“Rise up, O LORD!

And let your enemies be scattered,

And let those who hate you flee before you.”

This prayer was made when lord was leading the Israelites.

The priest is usually at alert and ready to pack the tabernacle, to follow the glory of God. Where God arise, they follow Him and begin to move forward, till they get to their promise land

This is a Prayer for God to arise.

Deut 34:10   King James Bible
. . . and there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face

Moses as he was regarded as the meekest man on earth and also a prophet, he still understood where the right prayer needed to be applied. The psalmist only reechoed it in psalm 68.

  Let means to allow, consent, not to delay, not to prevent, no obstacle, give permission.

It means that you are not ready to hold back the hands of God. Let him have his way.

That you will not limit God in my life

As big as God is, you can decide to limit God in your life

If you are ask how big is God in your life that is the way He will manifest his power in your life.

If He is big as a biro so will He manifest, and if you see Him bi as the universe, so He will.

 It is good that we all memories this scripture;

 Psalm 78:41     King James Bible
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Mathew 13:58     King James Bible
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The scripture made us to know that the king of the universe was limited incapacitated, even though He wanted to do but He was retrained.

Scatter means that the enemy flees, disarmed, impotent, breakup.

Manifest his glory power

Arise means to manifest glory of God, show fort His power.

There are a lot of calls for God to arise in the bible, like in psalm 7, psalm 9, psalm 17 and so on.

I pray that your God shall arise, and your enemies shall scatter.

O God arises is:

Ø A cry for change, for forward progress

Are you are going through delay, backwardness, bareness; you need to cry to God.

Ø A Cry of going moving one level to another. Changing to new territory, fresh move

Ø To lead people of God to prosperity

Ø Cry of possibility.

Ø Cry to go above the minimum.

Ø To move above thee wound and scars of life.

Ø Cry of fulfillment of God promises

Illustration story:

The great evangelist, Apostle Ayo Babalola went to preach the gospel in a demonic village. The king gave him a forbidden, where the usually bury pregnant women and do all king of fetish atrocities.

The king gave him, thinking the forest will devour him as no one has ever entered and lasted for 24 hours.

The apostle thanked the king and went to the forest with his prayer warriors.

As He rang his bell and He made the prayer cry: O God arise, let your enemies be scattered.

They all suddenly heard scattering, confusion, running of unseen people. (This story was told by some of the prayer warriors that are still alive till date)

After a while, there was calm, and then a mighty python started from the mountain. The python serpent left the other people and went straight for the man of God. The apostle simple prayed the prayer:

Let the fire of the God of Elijah fall on you.

Immediately it dried up.

Ø  It is  a payer that arranges situation

Ø  It sinks every pharaoh that will not allow you live your destiny in peace.

Ø  Makes Stubborn enemy flee

Ø  Makes the programme and agenda of enemy to terminate

Ø  The prayer releases confusion to the camp of the enemies

Ø  Makes Evil name given to you by the enemy to change. (whether it be barren, blind and so on)

Illustration story:

There was a woman that had three (3) sons and they are all mad. She had been named “mama were” (mother of mad person).

She had to chain her three sons in three different rooms and they are been fed by throwing food to them, as no one could move close.

She came for the “Water of Fire” programme of MFM and went back home with her water that have been pray into.

She went straight to the eldest which is about 30 years old. Immediate she sprinkled the water on him, his face changed and he requested for more, he was healed. The woman hurriedly went to the other rooms and poured the water on them. The three sons became free. Within 10 minutes, her name has been changed.
