THEME: PRAYER CONTAMINANTS

MEMORISE: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.    Proverbs 18:21

READ: Proverbs 18:20-21

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

MESSAGE

Certain things can contaminate our prayers, such that they weaken our prayers and their possible results. One such thing is speaking words tha are against what we are praying for. When you pray about your country, for example, and later join others

in saying that nothing good can come out of that same country, you have contaminated your prayer already.

Don't pray for God to give life to something and then turn around to speak death into that same thing; you will not get results from such a prayer. Joel 3:10 says, "Let the weak say, 'l am strong!" In other words, if you have prayed for strength, but can still see traces of weakness in you, at that point, say, "l am strong". As your words go in line with your prayers, they will remain potent enough to deliver the results you seek. When you pray about something, it is important that your words and thoughts agree with your prayer. This way, you will not stand in the way of the answer to your prayer.

Another thing that contaminates prayers is a lack of concentration while praying. This is when people pray, but their hearts are not in the prayer. Rather, their minds are occupied with other things. The devil knows that if your mind is distracted while praying, your prayer willnnot carry as much power as it should. Therefore, whenever you decide to pray, he will begin to remind you of things you are yet to do and places that you ought to have gone to. His plan is to occupy your mind with other things so that you will become distracted and lose your concentration as you pray. Whenever you find your mind wandering while praying, write down the things that you ought to have done, put the note aside, and continue to pray. Train your mind to keep all distractions away, and don't give room for them to disturb your connection to God in the place of prayer. With time, as you continually train your mind, you will get good at focusing on only God while praying.

KEY POINT

If you want your prayers to remain potent and powerful enough to deliver results, make sure they are not contaminated.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 47-48

THEME: PRAYER EXTINGUISHERS III

MEMORISE: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1:6

READ: James 1:5-8 

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

MESSAGE

Today, I will conclude my discussion on some of the factors that can extinguish prayers. Some people get almost everything right in the place of prayer but miss out on just one thing- faith. Today's memory verse says that believers should always make their requests to God in faith without having any doubts in their hearts. The next verse directly addresses anyone who makes requests from God without faith:

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James 1:7

When you pray without faith, that prayer is dead on arrival. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Believers cannot expect God to answer their prayers when He is not pleased with them. God requires that you have faith in Him when you ask Him for something. Luke 17:6 says that even if your faith is as little as a mustard seed, God will use it to move mountains on your behalf. If your child asks you for food and then looks at you in such a way that says, "I know you will not give me; you probably don't even have it," you will feel insulted. This is what we do when we ask God for things that we are not really expecting Him to give to us.

When you come to God in faith, you come knowing without a doubt that what you have asked of Him is already done. You bring your requests with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6) because you know that your prayer has already been answered. The moment you pray, your hands are already stretched out to God, expecting what you asked for. This is how to pray; it is the kind of prayer that God cannot ignore. Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. In other words, when you have faith, even though you have not seen what you are asking for, you will be so sure that you have it that you can present it in court as evidence to any judge, telling them, "See what I have."

For a long time, I tried by my own power to increase my faith, but it was difficult. Then, I read Mark 9:24, where a man cried to Jesus, saying that he believes but that Jesus should help his unbelief. In minutes, what Jesus was asking him to believe for

was done. I also started praying that God should help my faith, and l have seen my faith grow tremendously since then. If you pray the same prayer, Jesus will give your faith a boost, and you will be able to overcome unbelief.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, I believe in you; please help my faith.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 44-46

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1. Who is my life but Christ alone?

I seek no joy beside;

His love and peace flow in my soul,

An everlasting tide.

2. Who is my hope but Christ in me,

The hope of glory bright?

No one but Jesus set me free,

He only is my light.

3. What is the church but Christ alone?

No other fold I need;

I live in Him, the living vine,

His word my only creed.

4. Who but the Savior died for me?

He only did atone

For all my sins upon the tree,

He drank the cup alone.

5. Who purchased me when lost in sin

But Christ, whose love I own?

O Lamb of God, my all is Thine,

I am no more my own.

THEME: PRAYER EXTINGUISHERS II

MEMORISE: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

James 4:3

READ: James 4:1-6 

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

MESSAGE

Yesterday, I discussed how sin can extinguish our prayers. Another prayer extinguisher is -not praying according to God's will. You must understand that God has a plan for your life and wants to bring you to an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). This means that God already has an expectation about you before you were born. Thus, everything He does, including the prayers He answers, is to bring you to that expected end. You cannot pray for God to do something against His will and expect Him to do it.

Many people have said, "I have been asking God for a particular thing for so long without an answer." Where they are probably getting it wrong is that they are not checking if what they are asking for aligns with God's will or if it's just for their selfish lusts (James 4:3). Asking for something outside God's will is asking amiss; such prayers are extinguished, and God will not grant such requests. This is why you must be intimate with the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26 says that we do not know how to pray because, many-a-times, we don't know the will of the Father. However, the Holy Spirit can help you to pray exactly what the will of the Father is, and then your prayers will be attended to.

When you pray in tongues, you are praying very accurate prayers because the Holy Spirit is praying the will of the Father through you. Imagine that you are friends with the son of the chairman of a company, and you apply for a job in that company, using an application letter that was written by a director in the company, and having the chairman's son, who is also a director, as your referee. When your application gets to the chairman's table, he will not be able to ignore it because it will contain the exact things that relate to the organization and the role you are applying for, and also because his son is your referee. You will surely have the job because your application will contain exactly what is on the chairman's mind, and you have a good relationship with his son.

If you don't want your prayers extinguished, let the Holy Spirit pray through you as you maintain an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ in whose name you are praying. The best prayer points are the ones generated for you by the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER POINT

Holy Spirit, please teach me to pray according to the will of the Father at all times.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 40-43

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1.  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

that calls me from a world of care, 

and bids me at my Father's throne 

make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

my soul has often found relief, 

and oft escaped the tempter's snare 

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2.  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

the joys I feel, the bliss I share 

of those whose anxious spirits burn 

with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

where God my Savior shows his face, 

and gladly take my station there, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3.  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

thy wings shall my petition bear 

to him whose truth and faithfulness 

engage the waiting soul to bless. 

And since he bids me seek his face, 

believe his word, and trust his grace, 

I'll cast on him my every care, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
