[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A SHORT EXPOS\u00c8 ON PRAYER<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most common misconceptions about \u201cPrayer\u201d is the belief that praying isn\u2019t for everyone and shouldn\u2019t be done regularly. Since God created
\nHeaven and Earth and knows everything, why then must we pray to Him about matters concerning us as individuals or even concerning the Earth?<\/p>\n

Luke 18:1 says- \u201c\u2026men ought always to pray, and not to faint;<\/p>\n

God is a God of order; He put man in charge of the world and has given man dominion over everything in it; hence He wouldn\u2019t intervene if He wasn\u2019t invited to.<\/p>\n

Our prayer therefore makes it consistent for God to do what would have been inconsistent for Him to do had we not prayed\u2026 (Culled from the message \u201cPrevailing Prayer\u201d by Pastor Chris)<\/p>\n

We see in the Bible (ref: 2 Kings 20:1-5) where the prophet Isaiah told Hezekiah about his imminent death and how Hezekiah through prayer caused God to add fifteen years to his number of years in the earth.<\/p>\n

In a world full of evil vices and occurrences, men ought to pray. God asked us to pray because He wants to answer. Never assume that others are praying; take charge of your nation, school, the government and the scheme of affairs of men in prayer, by preventing evil and proclaiming peace, joy, stability, progress and safety in the world.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t you rather influence the world with your prayer today?<\/p>\n
