Power of Prayer

in #steemchurch7 years ago

It has been said that praying is the process of asking and receiving from God. lt can also be described As communication between God and man so that His will can be established on earth as it is in Heaven. Real prayer is expressing our devotion to our heavenly Father, inviting Him to talk to us as we talk to Him. Since God Almighty by His divine will has been given the rulership of the earth to man from the beginning 0f creation, He will not do much on earth Without man. However, after the falling of the first man, Adam, God has been looking for men and women through whom He could make His will established on earth. And up till today, God is still looking for whom to draw His hand upon the earth through intensive ceaseless
prayer.

I want to say emphatically that prayer does not work like magic. Immediately you call unto God with sincerity of heart, God will hear, but His answer depends on whether the thing you are praying for is according to His will or not. Even though it is the will of God, your heart must be right with Him before you can get any result. Also the motive behind your request and time factor may be considered before the answer. Many people don’t know that prayer is like sowing the seed like annual crop and perennial crop at the same time. One can quickly harvest the annual crop . like maize than any of the perennial crops like cocoa. As a matter of fact, you cannot compare the life span of maize with cocoa. For good 5 years that maize might’ve disappear, you will begin to harvest cocoa that can last more than ten decades. There are some prayers with quick result and there are some that will tarry for a while and later produce results, that will last for
generations.
