Theme: The Prayer of a Covenant Child of God
Texts: Hebrews 4: 16 / Isaiah 65: 24
Introduction:
• Why is prayer the most difficult thing for most believers and churches to do
• Why is prayer the number focus of the enemy’s attack?
• The enemy does not care having the church engaging in many social activities but the moment it sets to pray,
The enemy rises to distract, preoccupy with other activities, discouraged, many excuses etc.
• Answers
• - Because prayer is a supernatural investment that delivers natural results
• - The prayer is the quickest way to getting, getting anywhere, getting the best from God
• - Because the persistent prayer life in the right spirit with the right attitude of a pure /sincere heart is the major key to accessing impossibility = Luke 18: 1 - 8 / Luke 11: 5 - 13
• - Anything is possible to whoever persists in prayer
- The covenant child = anyone for whom God almighty is willing to offer any price
including the very life of his only begotten son Jesus Christ to acquire, birth, redeem = Romans 8: 32 / Romans 8: 17
- What is the assurance that God will answer you? Because you are his covenant child
= Romans 8: 32 if he could give out Christ to die to purchase your soul from sin, Satan, death and hell, what else will God not give you
• - God will answer you because of what Christ has already done for you in Christ, he has already paid the price with his life = John 19: 30 / 1 Corinthians 6: 20, 1 Corinthians 7: 23
• - as a covenant child everything that concerns you concerns him -Isaiah 63: 9
- seven key factors that should motivate the covenant child of God to persist in prayer
c. The seven things that sets the believers/ church's prayer above any other religion's prayer
1. We have in heaven God the father who hears prayer = psalm 65: 2
2. We have Jesus Christ who has tasted all that we go through and experienced when he put on the human nature (Hebrews 2: 12 - 18),
who has been tempted or tried in every way (Hebrews 4: 15)
sitting at the right hand of God interceding for us = Romans 8: 34 & Hebrews 7: 25.
3. We have the holy spirit who knows the mind of God dwelling in us (1 Corinthians 2: 9 - 17 (11 - 16)
4. The believer’s prayer does not evaporate in the air but are rather gathered in golden bowls (Revelation 5: 8) and censers (Revelation 8: 3 - 5)
5. The believer’s prayer have access into the chambers of God / Gods throne room (Hebrews 4: 16)
6. The believers prayer carries the key of binding and losing the heavens and the earth (Matthew 16: 19)
7. The believer’s prayer is delivered by a name; Jesus (Philippians 2: 9 - 11)
Warning / admonition to the covenant child in prayer
1. Don't give the enemy; satan and his host a license or legal right against you = John 14: 30
• ancestral covenants that have not been dealt with by us
• family covenants
• parental covenants
• personal
• our belief systems
• our mindsets
• our words
• our lifestyles
2. Watch and pray/ pray and watch = Matthew 26: 42
• that’s, what you must change for the change you are expecting to come
• your corresponding actions
E.g. prayer can give you a husband/ wife, job, position, promotion but it will take character to keep it or maintain it
3. Don't be a God user rather develop a relationship with God
4. Turn your worshipping of God, your services and ministry to a covenant
5. Be a cycle/ pattern breaker
- Today's conclusion
1. Commanding unyielding/ stubborn pharaohs to give up and give way = Exodus 5: 1 - 2, Exodus 9: 1 - 2, Luke 18, Luke 19: 30, John 11: 44.
