TOPIC:HE HEARS YOU ALWAYS
(Prayer: A Joyful Response To God’s Invitation)

TO  THE  BIBLE  📖

1 John 5:14
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

LET’S  TALK 🗣️
“Look at Jason; he’s always praying in the field,” Zack whispered to Frank.
“Maybe he’s in some form of trouble?” Frank replied.
“Well, if he is, why not tell us, his friends?”

Some people are just like Frank and Zack, always thinking that prayer is a response of the helpless or the weak to insurmountable and overwhelming challenges; no! Prayer, primarily, is fellowship with God; and even though when one is oppressed or suffers injustice, he should pray, that isn’t the reason for prayer. 

Prayer is the joyful response of the one who, with a heart full of faith, trusts in the living God. It’s a response, more to God’s invitation to pray than the response to a situation. He invited us to pray because He intended to answer.

Ephesians 6:18 says, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” Notice that it says, “Praying always”; not “Praying sometimes.” It’s similar to what the Lord said in Luke 18:1 KJV: “...Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” 

If you’re a praying Christian, you’ll be an effective Christian; effective through the power of the Holy Spirit. And the greatest part of prayer isn’t the prayer itself; it’s the answer. We haven’t had a great prayer time if we didn’t receive answers to our prayer!

Irrespective of what we have said in prayer, it’s God’s response that truly matters. Glory to God! 
We’re ordained to receive answers when we pray because He said if we pray according to His will—His rule for prayer, which is praying in the Name of Jesus—He hears us. If He heard us, then He answered us.

That’s the beauty of prayer: the fact that we’re guaranteed to be heard (1 John 5:14). You ought to rejoice each time you pray, and say like Jesus, “Father, I thank you, because you hear me always” (John 11:42 paraphrased). Hallelujah!

Pray 🙏
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the blessing, privilege and opportunity of prayer; a channel for rich fellowship with you. I trust you with my life, and I’m confident that my future is secure; I’ll fulfil your destiny for me gloriously, as I remain yielded to your Spirit, guided by your wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

  JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

  JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
