Praying The Kingdom Advancement Prayers – Archbishop Dr. Goddy Okafor

Praying The Kingdom Advancement Prayers  – We serve a prayer answering God! Whatever we ask, believing, God is committed to answering!

Matthew 21:22, Mark 11:24. What you do not have in most cases is what you have not asked.

The value of prayer is not in the number of days but in the results obtained.

God is no respecter of persons! The altar of prayer is the altar of empowerment!

1), Clean up the alter.

Revelation 22:15, “Without are the dogs! Who are dogs?”

2), Practice Meditation:

Set aside a few minutes every day.

Do not say anything. Simply practice thinking about God. This will make your mind spiritually receptive. Utilize minute prayers by closing your eyes to shut out the world and concentrating briefly on God’s presence. The more you do this every day the nearer you will feel God’s presence.

4), Learn To Talk To God:

Talk to God in your own language.

He understands it. Make it a friendly conversation. God is your Daddy and not your Slave Master.

5), Affirm That God’s Blessings Are Already Yours:

Understand that God has already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Acknowledge that you are already accepted as God’s beloved son or daughter. Believe He cares for and provides for you.

Never use a negative word, thought or attitude when you are before God in prayer.

6), Spend Most Of Your Prayers Giving Thanks To God:

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

– 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

A thankful heart is the best medicine. Learn to thank God in all circumstances, even in the midst of sorrow or hardship. Prayers should be heartfelt and genuine, acknowledging God’s goodness and blessings.

If you are truly thankful to God,

show your thankfulness by serving others in His name, as this is a profound way to express gratitude.

7), Accept God’s Will:

Accepting God’s will involves surrendering to a plan greater than one’s own will or plan.

Colossians 4:12

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

According to George W. Truett,

There is no failure in God’s will, and no success outside of God’s will.

True prayer emphasizes and focuses on the perfect will of God. Therefore, always ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. That will be better than what you want. Remember, God is Sovereign. Do your best but allow His will to prevail.

“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”: (Psalm 37:23-24). Whatever happens, happens. It’s all a part of God’s plan.”

Reclaiming Lost Blessings and winning lost souls is Your Choice. Prayer prepares your heart for standing up for the Lord. Pray infuses your heart with joy and courage to influence things.

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe.”: (Saint Augustine)
