PRAISE THE LORD- do i hear halleluyah?. It has raised many hot argument whether GOD can answer all prayers or not. Infact pst E.A Adeboye had argue on dis with some biblical gurus overseas. The truth is YES- if only you walk by his principles. If u doubt dis try this seven steps and come back to testify how God would answer ur prayers without delay. The seven steps are hidden under the word- WORSHIP. OK Lets start!

1.W= worship- God loves those who worship more dan anything. The psalmist says he praises God seven times a day and the rest of his life was characterised by Divine intervention despite the challenges- saul's hatred; Absalom's coup, and other seemingly insurmountable challenges. If only you will learn how to worship God fervently, your prayer's answer would be delivered at a lightening speed. How do i WORSHIP God?. Just call him any Good name dat comes ur mind. Remember God can never be flattered. Sing him any song- ur voice does not matter.

2.O- obedience, how can God answer the prayer of a disobedient child? Obedience to his word is not an option at all. Joshua 1: 8 admonishes us to observe all the details of the word. Just show me a man who enjoys divine attention and i will show you a man dat obeys the word without subtraction. Many xtians have the habit of obeying the ones they think its "sensible" like thou shall not ateal but do not belief or obey the bible verses dat say "be ye holy even as ur heavenly father is holy". To get ur prayers answered obedience to the world is never a suggestion but a compulsory mandate.

3. R- relationships, ur relationship both with God and men has a large impact on ur prayers. Do u only go to church at festive seasons? Do you still tell white nd black lies? Do you still double-date? Do you still watch pornography? Do u still fight nd quarrel? Do u lust, masturbate nd say its self service? Do u pay ur tithe completely? Do you have many clothes while a brother keeps recycling a clothe every sunday in ur church? Do u respect ur elders nd leaders alike? Do you gossip nd backbite? Do you question ur pastor over offering's money. Do u read the bible as expected? How many times do u pray to God, if u ever do so?. Brethren learn to walk on ur relationship to njoy divine access without stress. I will continue the concluding part later after service.

HAPPY sunday to you all. Shalom!

GOD BLESS U..

who God don bless he don bless am.

If God nor bless you eventhough you pray from now till tomorrow nothing will happen...that's called grace

so many successful people today don't have any idea of what's written above yet they prayers seem to answered

whys that??

Ride on sir.

Good sermon to start the sunday,following...

Yeah all those are necessary, but its not just to answer your prayers but to be a serious Christian. Once you have a relationship with God He is bound to hear your prayers, having a relationship with Him and growing is the key thing.

As you grow in your knowledge of Him you are bound to be led by the spirit, obedience and all that will also follow. As one that have a relationship with God it is His will that actually matters if God would answer prayers, once it is according to His will then He is bound to answer.

The OP said seven steps but i saw just three.
The three i saw are Ok...
Maybe the Op went to church to hear the second part of the sermon.

thanks for the charge sir

4. S- speak-in-tongue, many erroneously believe dat speaking in tongue is unbiblical. Well, I wont try to argue any point. But as for those dat believe in it, we know its d greatest way of pouring out ur burden unto God- read 1 sam 1:1-18. Take note of verse 12&13-"Hannah continued to pray to the lord for long time and Eli watched her lips: She was praying silently but she made no sound and ELI THOUGHT SHE WAS DRUNK." you know what followed was a bouncing baby boy- who later became the first prophet in Israel. Also, in book of Romans, it is recorded dat "the spirit helps us to express Groanings dat cannot be uttered". There are some things you need but you do not know but God's spirit knows them all so when you speak in tongue you activate spiritual knowledge to intercede on ur behalf. In addition, you can never ask amiss or repeat vain words, dat jesus warned against, when u speak in tongue. For baptism of the Holy spirit, see ur pastor it is very easy just by laying of hands you begin to speak- oh what a joy you will feel. So, learn to pray in tongues most of the time. It gives d devil headache coz he does not understand!! 5. H- humility, brethren nothing irritates God like pride. I am still surprise why God hates pride this much. The worst thing you can do to urself is to be prideful. Hear what God says about pride "Pride goes before DESTRUCTION." HUMILITY is what God loves the most- Jesus humble lifestyle was so pleasing to God that GOD declared dat Jesus was no longer a SON but GOd himself. Bishop once called pastor E.A Adeboye @ 5 o'clock in d morning and shouted "daddy, daddy, God has just shown me ur secret!" "what has baba said again?" Daddy Adeboye asked in his usual slow but firm speech "God says HUMILITY is what brought you where you are and nothing else." If u really know Daddy Adeboye, you dont need to look for another humble man. He is down-to-earth to the core. Back to our point, jesus earned himself all the powers in the world through humility not power or fasting and prayer. God does not deal with a sinner BUT if the sinner is humble GOD will do something to win him at all cost. Humility carries you closer to God nd if you are close to God why would ur prayer suffer delay? 6.I- Indignation against Ungodliness, you know what? God does not only expect you to be holy alone, He wants you to hate Ungodliness. Lets look at Jesus' lifesyle, when he went to the temple he saw people trading. As a holy man he should have just entered pray and go back but NO, not for a man like Jesus dat hates sin with passion. Do you watch errotic Nollywood movies, Do you follow secular musicians on social media? Do you buy secular musics dat are filled with dirty lyrics lyk "all i need is ur waist." Do u still watch BLUE FILMS and say its not sin? Brethren, you must not only be holy you must also hate ungoodliness nd Indiscipline. Lets criticise "Dirty scenes" on nollywood. Lets stop calling unclothedness fair names like "bikini body","sexy" etc. To enjoy undelayed answers to ur prayers i advice you to hate SIN in all its shade or ramification. 7.P- persevere, brethren dont pray once and say God does not care. You might never know dis about God which is "If ur problems draw you to God in prayer, he will delay ur answers UNTIL PRAYING BECOMES SOMETHING YOU CAN NO LONGER DO WITHOUT. JUST LIKE ADDICTIONS". Persevere! hold unto God. Just like Jacob who said "i will never let go unless am blessed" Start to "pressurize" God in ur prayers. He is not wicked, he will eventually do it for you! These steps are not for all but as for the few dat seeks intimate fellowship with GOD. once again SHALOM in jesus name (Amen)

God bless u. Am reading ride on. Ur still at R.

Good work

Really ?

Beautiful sermon!. God give us the grace to abide by it all. Amen

[size=14pt]The prayer of an unrepentant sinner is an abomination to God.

God will not answer your prayer if you have an unforgiving spirit of bitterness.
God will not answer your prayer if you cheated or stole and did not repent and make restitution to the person you have cheated or stolen from.
God will not answer your prayer if you keep on living in denial of the truth and prefer to live in conceit and deceit.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
~ Galatians 6:7 (King James Version)


7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

~ Matthew 7: 1 -6 (King James Version)

There are three pillars that uphold a Christian; the pillars are prayer, holiness and the word of God. You cannot be come a heaven-bound Christian if you fail in any of these three pillars. You have to study and meditate upon the word of God daily, live a holy and prayerful life.

The modern day man really does not fully understand the awesomeness of the power of prayer.

What is prayer?

Prayer is the gateway to God’s Presence

Prayer is a privilege

Prayer is talking With God

Prayer is a communication process that allows us to talk to God

Prayer is a love affair with God

Prayer is the channel of God’s grace

Prayer is talking with Almighty God, while He listens and also talks to you.

The Bible says that the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Perhaps you pray fervently, yet your prayers do not avail much. You are puzzled and wonder why you always obtain very little or no results from your prayers.

There are ten things that limit the power and effectiveness of prayer
