Theme: Delighting in the Lord

Topic: The Secret to Fulfilled Desires

Many chase happiness in possessions, success, or people - but true satisfaction is found only in God.

To “delight in the Lord” means to find joy, rest, and pleasure in His presence. When your greatest joy is in God, your desires align with His will - and in that alignment, He fulfills them.

God is not against your desires; He wants to shape them. When He becomes your first love, your prayers gain power because your heart beats with His.

Today, shift your focus from what you want to Who you want. As you delight in Him, He will bring the right desires to pass in His perfect time.

Theme: The Power of Resurrection and Life

Topic: The One Who Brings Life Out of Death

When Martha mourned the death of her brother Lazarus, she saw only loss. But Jesus came to reveal that death is not the end when He is present.

John 11:25 says: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.’” (NIV)

This was not merely a statement of comfort - it was a declaration of divine authority. Jesus does not just bring resurrection; He is resurrection itself. His presence reverses decay, restores hope, and breathes life into what seems finished.

Whatever looks dead in your life - dreams, health, relationships, or purpose - can live again because Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, is with you.

Main Scripture: John 11:25 (NIV):

When Jesus enters a situation, death loses its final say.
Faith in the Resurrection and the Life turns hopelessness into testimony.
Every believer carries within them the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.

HOUR OF PRAYER DAILY - 5 OCTOBER 2025
Daily Prayer for October 5, 2025

Theme: The Spirit of Unity and the Bond of Peace

Topic: Guarding the Unity of the Spirit

Unity is not automatic - it must be protected, cultivated, and guarded.

Ephesians 4:3 declares: “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (NIV)

The unity of the Spirit is a divine harmony produced by the Holy Spirit among believers. It is not merely agreement on opinions, but alignment under the Lordship of Christ.
Where unity is preserved, the Holy Spirit flows freely, and God’s presence dwells powerfully.

Division, strife, and bitterness quench the Spirit’s move. But when peace reigns among God’s people, blessings flow (Psalm 133:1–3).

Today, God calls us to be peacemakers - to keep relationships healthy, churches united, and hearts free from offense. Peace is not weakness; it is power under control.

Main Scripture
Ephesians 4:3 (NIV): “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection and Confession
1. Lord, forgive me for every word, thought, or action that caused division.
2. Forgive me for holding on to offense, bitterness, or pride.
3. I repent for times I valued my opinion more than unity.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2. Help me to live in harmony with others and value unity above pride.
3. Let the Holy Spirit rule in my heart and guide my relationships.
4. Give me wisdom to speak words that build, not break.
5. Let Your peace reign in my family, my workplace, and my church.
6. I declare that I am a peacemaker, a bridge-builder, and a carrier of unity.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2. Heal every division, misunderstanding, and strife among believers.

3. Colossians 3:14–15 – Let the peace of Christ rule in my heart and bind me in perfect harmony.

2. The peace of Christ governs my heart and relationships.
3. I am a vessel of reconciliation and harmony.
4. Wherever I go, I bring peace, not strife.
5. God’s presence flows through unity in my life and community.

Verse for Meditation: Ephesians 4:3 (NIV):
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Moment of Teaching
Unity is not uniformity - it is harmony in diversity, centered on Christ.
The devil fears a united church because unity multiplies power.
Guarding peace means choosing love over offense, prayer over gossip, and humility over pride.

Faith Activity
1. Reach out to someone you’ve had tension with and speak peace.
2. Pray for your local church to experience unity and revival.
3. Write “Peace starts with me” somewhere visible as a daily reminder.

Word of Exhortation
Where peace rules, God reigns.
Be the one who keeps the bond of unity and invites the presence of God wherever you go.

Say it boldly:
“I make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. I am a peacemaker, and God’s presence flows through me!”

Theme: Unusual Miracles and New Things

Topic: God Still Does the Extraordinary

The Bible testifies that God works in ways beyond human reasoning.

Acts 19:12 says:

“So that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.” (NIV)

Through the Apostle Paul, God released unusual miracles - ordinary cloth became a channel of healing and deliverance. This reveals that nothing is too common for God to use when His power is upon it.

Isaiah 43:18–21 adds another layer:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland… the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.”

God is still in the business of doing new and unusual things in the lives of His people. He can turn dry places into streams, hopeless situations into testimonies, and ordinary lives into carriers of extraordinary power.

Today, expect God’s unusual miracles and open your heart to the new thing He is doing.

Theme: Forgetting the Past, Pressing Forward

Topic: Letting Go to Move Ahead

The journey of faith is not about being stuck in yesterday - it is about pressing toward tomorrow in Christ.

Philippians 3:13 declares: “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” (NIV)

Paul teaches us that progress requires letting go. You cannot fully embrace the future while holding onto past mistakes, failures, or even past successes. Dwelling on yesterday can paralyze your today.

God is always doing a new thing. To walk in it, we must release the past and focus forward. Today is an invitation to let go, press on, and reach for the destiny God has set before you.

You cannot drive forward while staring in the rearview mirror. The past is a teacher, not a destination.
God is calling you to release yesterday and embrace the journey ahead.
Pressing forward means persistence, discipline, and focus on the goal - Christ Himself.

HOUR OF PRAYER - DAILY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Daily Prayer for September 30, 2025

Theme: Righteous Judgment, Not Outward Appearance

Topic: Seeing as God Sees

In a world that often celebrates appearances, Jesus calls us to something higher.

John 7:24 says: “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” (NIV)

This is a call to discernment. Human eyes can be deceived by outward beauty, position, or performance. But God looks deeper - into the heart and into truth.

When we judge by appearances, we risk error, favoritism, and missing God’s will. When we walk in discernment, guided by His Spirit and Word, we see rightly and act justly.

Today, ask God to give you eyes to see beyond the surface, to discern truth, and to judge righteously in every matter of life.

Main Scripture: John 7:24 (NIV):
“Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”

Prayers of Thanksgiving
1. Father, thank You for being the God who sees the heart.
2. Thank You for guiding me with wisdom beyond appearances.
3. Thank You for protecting me from deception and error.
4. Thank You for the Spirit of truth that leads me rightly.
5. Thank You because Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection and Confession
1. Lord, forgive me for times I judged people and situations by outward appearances.
2. Forgive me for favouritism, prejudice, or hasty decisions.

Moment of Teaching
God does not see as man sees. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
Appearances can deceive, but the Spirit of God brings clarity.
Every believer must grow in discernment to live wisely, avoid error, and walk in justice.

Faith Activity
1. Before making a decision today, pause and ask God: “Lord, what is Your perspective?”
2. Spend time in prayer asking for the Spirit of discernment to sharpen your vision.
3. Encourage someone tempted to judge by appearances with John 7:24.

Word of Exhortation
Your life will not be led by sight, but by the Spirit.
God is giving you eyes to see beyond the surface and wisdom to judge rightly.

Say it boldly:
“I will not judge by appearances. I walk in discernment, guided by the Spirit of God, in the name of Jesus!”

HOUR OF PRAYER - DAILY- 29 SEPTEMBER 2025
Daily Prayer for September 29, 2025

Theme: From Servanthood to Sonship

Topic: Growing Into Full Inheritance

The Bible teaches us that spiritual maturity determines access to inheritance.

Galatians 4:1 says: “What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.” (NIV)

This means that immaturity can keep a rightful heir living below his inheritance. A son may legally own everything, but if he does not grow, he cannot enjoy it.

In the same way, God has given us great promises in Christ, but spiritual immaturity - ignorance, disobedience, or lack of discipline - can keep us living like slaves instead of sons.

Today, God is calling you to grow into maturity, to walk in sonship, and to claim the inheritance already secured for you through Christ.

Main Scripture: Galatians 4:1 (NIV):
“What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.”

Prayers of Thanksgiving
1. Father, thank You for making me an heir of Your kingdom through Christ.
2. Thank You for the inheritance of salvation, peace, and victory.
3. Thank You for the Spirit of adoption that calls You “Abba, Father.”
4. Thank You because I am no longer a slave, but a child of God.
5. Thank You that my inheritance in Christ is eternal and secure.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection and Confession
1. Lord, forgive me for living below my inheritance in You.
2. Forgive me for immaturity, disobedience, and spiritual negligence.
3. I repent for every time I thought and acted like a slave instead of a son.
4. Wash me with the Blood of Jesus and renew my mind by Your Word.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer of the Day: I Walk in My Full Inheritance as a Son
1. Father, I refuse to remain immature in the Spirit.
2. Help me to grow in wisdom, faith, and obedience.
3. Let me walk as a true son, not as a slave.
4. I declare that every blessing You have prepared for me shall manifest in my life.
5. I embrace the fullness of my inheritance in Christ Jesus.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayers of Intercession
1. Lord, bring my family and friends into the full knowledge of their inheritance in Christ.
2. Deliver them from ignorance, fear, and spiritual immaturity.
3. Help them to grow into strong sons and daughters of the Kingdom.
4. Let none of them live below the destiny You have ordained for them.
5. Establish them in their rightful inheritance of peace, joy, and victory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Personal Petition: Maturity for My Inheritance
1. Lord, I ask for grace to grow in the Spirit daily.
2. Break every cycle of delay caused by immaturity in my life.
3. Remove every limitation that keeps me from enjoying my inheritance.
4. Open my eyes to know what belongs to me in Christ.
5. Let me rise as a son who possesses the estate of the Father.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Powerful Prayer Points for Deeper Engagement
1. Galatians 4:1 – Lord, deliver me from spiritual immaturity and help me walk in inheritance.
2. Romans 8:17 – Father, let me live as a joint-heir with Christ.
3. Hebrews 5:14 – Lord, train me to discern and grow into maturity.
4. Ephesians 1:18 – Open the eyes of my heart to know the riches of my inheritance in You.

Declarations and Affirmations
1. I am a son, not a slave.
2. I walk in my inheritance through Christ.
3. I grow daily in wisdom, maturity, and faith.
4. No blessing ordained for me shall be delayed.
5. I am a joint-heir with Christ in all things.

Verse for Meditation: Galatians 4:1 (NIV):
“As long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.”

Moment of Teaching
Growth determines access. Immaturity may delay inheritance, but maturity releases it.
God is calling His children to rise above spiritual infancy and step into sonship.
The estate of heaven already belongs to you - walk in it by faith, wisdom, and obedience.

Faith Activity
1. Identify one area where you are living below God’s promises and pray for growth there.
2. Spend 15 minutes today declaring: “I am a son, not a slave. I walk in my inheritance.”
3. Encourage someone by reminding them they are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

Word of Exhortation
You are not a slave - you are a son.
Your inheritance is secure. Step into maturity and claim it.

Say it boldly:
“I am a son of God, an heir of His kingdom. I refuse to live as a slave. My inheritance in Christ is mine today!”

HOUR OF PRAYER - DAILY - 28 SEPTEMBER 2025

Daily Prayer for September 28, 2025

Theme: Trusting God’s Higher Ways

Topic: His Thoughts Are Greater Than Ours

Life often confronts us with mysteries - unanswered prayers, unexpected delays, unexplainable turns. At such moments, we may wonder if God sees or understands.

Isaiah 55:8–9 reminds us: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (NIV)

God’s wisdom surpasses human logic. His timing, though sometimes confusing, is always perfect. His plans, though mysterious, are always good.

When we surrender our limited understanding to God’s infinite wisdom, we find rest, peace, and assurance that He is working everything together for our good.

Today, choose to trust His higher ways - even when they don’t make sense.

Main Scripture: Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV):
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Prayers of Thanksgiving
1. Father, thank You for being the all-wise and all-knowing God.
2. Thank You that Your ways are always higher and better than mine.
3. Thank You for ordering my steps according to Your perfect plan.
4. Thank You for working all things together for my good.
5. Thank You for peace that comes from trusting Your wisdom.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection and Confession
1. Lord, forgive me for doubting Your ways when I didn’t understand.
2. Forgive me for leaning too much on my own wisdom.
3. I repent of every complaint I made in impatience.
4. Wash me with the blood of Jesus and renew my trust in Your sovereignty.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer of the Day: I Trust in God’s Higher Ways
1. Father, today I surrender my thoughts and plans to You.
2. Even when I don’t understand, I will trust Your wisdom.
3. Guide me to walk in alignment with Your will.
4. Lift my eyes beyond my limited perspective to see Your higher plan.
5. Grant me peace in waiting and faith in Your timing.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2. Deliver them from fear, anxiety, and impatience.
3. Let them rest in the assurance that Your thoughts toward them are good.

2. Replace my confusion with clarity and my fear with faith.
3. Help me to trust even when I cannot trace Your hand.
4. Let me see beyond temporary setbacks into eternal purposes.
5. Align my decisions with Your higher wisdom and keep me in the center of Your will.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

2. Proverbs 3:5–6 – Help me trust in You with all my heart and not lean on my understanding.
3. Jeremiah 29:11 – Father, let Your good plans of hope and future manifest in my life.
4. Romans 8:28 – Lord, work all things together for my good according to Your purpose.

2. I trust His plan, even when I don’t understand.
3. My life is ordered by divine wisdom.
4. Nothing surprises God - He is in control of my journey.
5. I walk in faith, not in human understanding.

Verse for Meditation: Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV):
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Moment of Teaching
When life seems confusing, remember that you are not seeing the full picture. God’s thoughts stretch beyond time, circumstances, and human reasoning. His higher ways guarantee that His plans will prevail.

Your responsibility is not to figure everything out - but to trust Him fully.

Faith Activity
1. Write down situations in your life that don’t make sense right now.
2. Place them before God in prayer and declare: “Lord, I trust Your higher ways.”
2. Memorize Isaiah 55:8–9 and repeat it whenever doubt arises.
3. Encourage someone today who is struggling with delay or disappointment by sharing this verse.

Word of Exhortation
You may not understand the “why,” but you can trust the “Who.”
God’s thoughts toward you are good, His ways are perfect, and His plan will never fail.

Say it boldly:
“Father, I trust Your higher ways. My life is in Your hands, and Your plan for me will prevail!”

TOPIC: DEALING WITH ADDICTIONS


OPENING PRAYERS:
Father, deliver those who are under one form of addiction or the other.
Save me from addiction.

BIBLE PASSAGE
PROV.31:2-7

2: What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3: Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4: It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6: Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7: Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

MEMORY VERSE
"Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD" Isaiah 52:11

LESSON INTRODUCTION Addiction is a compulsive tendency developed over a period of continuous and repeated actions or exposures to a certain substance. It can result in loss of willpower and self-esteem, loss of or shift in focus, social and emotional disconnect, poverty, death, etc.

TEXT REVIEW: PRO. 31:2-7
WARNING FOR THE KINGS AND PRINCES

The Bible passage literarily was directed at a king Lemuel by her mother. Pro 31:1. However the advice should go beyond the few people who are found in palaces of earthly structures; it should be embraced by all other persons who were referred to as Kings and Priest in Rev. 5:10 "and hast made us unto our God Kings and priest".

What are the advice and why?
i. Do not dissipate your virility on women ( promiscuous women) because they will shipwreck such ruler/kings. Pro.31:3

ii. Do not drink strong drinks (mixed wine and alcohol which is capable of making a person lose sense or sleep away) because such king will pervert justice and judge wrongly under influence. Pro. 31:4-5

iii. Strong drink will lead a person to peril(ready to perish). Pro. 31:6

iv. Strong drinks makes person feel high. Feeling of being on top of situations when in actual fact the situations are pressing heavily upon the fellow. When he/she is out of the influence, he/her sorrow will return. It is therefore a temporary relief/sedative and not a curative. Pro.31:7
The scripture warns believers to run from mixed wine (mixed substance) that is deceptive in appearance but hurts like poison of serpent. Pro. 23:30-32. All kings/princess in the kingdom should heed the warning. All Levities and teachers of the word of God should NOT drink wine or strong drink and minister under such influence. The consequences of such recklessness is DEATH. Teachers/Priests/Pastors/Ministers/ must be holy and avoid unholy things. Lev.10:8-11

OVERCOMING ADDICTIONS
i. Teachers should allow students to mention ways of overcoming addiction. This could be based on their knowledge or experience.
ii. Teacher should explain the following guidelines to overcome addiction:

a. Take a stand. You must first of all acknowledge that addiction is an affliction and you are already caught up in its web. Then, you must be willing to break free from it bondage while acknowledging that you cannot help yourself. Ps51:1-4

b. Seek help. Jas.5:13-16. You must open up to God. Prov.3:4-5; 1Pet5:7 and to people who can be of help in breaking the evil habit. Surrender yourself for proper screening and therapies pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and spiritual therapy.

c. Avoid relapse. Relapse is to addiction what backsliding is to sin and its episode is usually worse than before the treatment/deliverance. Matthew 12:43-45; 2Pet2:20-22

d. Keep your heart with all diligence. prov 4:23 and renew it daily. Rom12:1-2; Eph 4:22-23. Addiction is really a battle of the mind

e. You must avoid exposures to all forms of triggers 1Cor.15:33; 2Cor.6:15-20; Eph 5:11-12

f. Keep the company of those who can encourage you in your journey to total victory. Heb10:24-25

CLASS ACTIVITY 2
What warning did Jesus give concerning rebound or relapse in Matt 12:43-45?

SUMMARY
Flee all manners of addiction

CONCLUSION
Withdrawal from addiction often comes with a myriad of challenges usually referred to as withdrawal syndrome. It is incumbent on the brethren not to cast away, [Ps38:11] the victim at this critical time but to show him/her love and encouragement until the victory is won. 2Tim.1:15-16; Ps133:1-3

CLOSING PRAYER
Father, let your love spring into the hearts of those who are caught in the web of addictions and set them free.

Please I need a response to my question.

I'll like to liquidate a 6 months Tbills in 3 months. How possible is that? what do I stand to loose? Can I just give them back the upfront interest and take my capital?

You can sell it in the secondary market, you'll only lose a fraction of the coupon (what you called the upfront interest) you got. Approach your agent, you'll surely not lose all.

Good Morning House, I was Credited 98,000 For 91days, principal Is 3million , rate is 13.15, stanbic ibtc , Gurus Am lost because 3,000,000 / 100 = 30,000 * 13.15 = 394,500 and what i got was 98,000 , Please enlighten Me

Do the calculation yourself:

13.15/100 x 3,000,000 x 91/364

= 98,625 (because it is 3 months, 91 days)

if it were 1 year (364 days) at 18.5, you'd have had

18.5/100 x 3,000,000 = 555,000


I hope this helps

LESSON 51: ” THE REALITY OF HELL?”
DATE: AUGUST 20, 2017
1. OPENING
I. Bible Passage: Luke 16: 19-31
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
II . Memory Verse: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” – Psalm 9:17
I. Lesson Introduction: Is there an everlasting hell? The Bible declares in very certain arms that there is. There are 162 texts in the New Testament alone that speak of the doom that awaits the unrepentant sinners. The Lord Himself uttered 70 of these. Hell is a reality, an awful act to be realised. It seems that the angels that sinned with Satan are even now in hell waiting for judgment (2Peter 2:4). The Bible makes it abundantly clear that the wicked and anyone that finally rejects Christ will be turned into hell. Psalm 9: 17.

ii. Where is hell? The Bible says it is “down” -Isaiah 14:9.
iii. Does “hell” not mean “grave” where both the good and the bad must go? No. In Luke 16, both the rich man and Lazarus died and went to the grave, as both were buried. However, their souls went to different places. One was in a place where he was comforted, the other in a place of torment and the two were separated by a great gulf to prevent travel back and forth.

v. Is there a place of probation, purgatory, after death? Certainly not. Once a person dies, he either goes straight to paradise or the place of torment. – Hebrews 9:27.
Class Activity 2 : (i.) Class should pray a prayer of agreement to God to deliver any soul of their family members from hell fire.
(ii.) Share any of the descriptions of hell on any of the social media.

4. CONCLUSION – How does one get to hell? It is simply by neglecting the salvation purchased for us by the Blood of Jesus (Hebrews 2:3). How does one avoid hell? By receiving Jesus as one’s personal Saviour, and Lord (John 3:16; Proverbs 15:24). What is your choice?
5. EVALUATION– What is Hell?
6. CLOSING PRAYER – Father, snatch any member of my family from hell.

Thanks

A lot of guys out there often have this feeling of "maybe I don't know how to pray". Some think they aren't getting answers to their prayers because of their naivety in the place of prayer. Are you looking for the right words, right atmosphere, right .... to pray? or Do you think you don't pray enough? These 5 pieces of advice adapted from Adam Weber's book "Talking with God" will assist you. Give them a try.

#1 Just let the words come out!
Say it as it comes to your mind. God understands even your unspoken thoughts. He wants to hear you talk to Him directly, especially in your own words. Don't always wait for the prayer points from the prayer band leader or pastor or bulletin. Use your own words, backed with any relevant scripture you know. You don't have to be a perfect prayer specialist before praying. Stop depending on Prayer Warriors or Prayer Contractors.

#2 When something reminds you of God, pray!
Anytime the thought of prayer or of God comes to your mind, pray. Anytime, anywhere a prayer point comes up in your mind, pray it as it comes. You don't have to wait to refine or modernize it, pray it raw. Should a thought of someone come to your mind, pray for that fellow too.

#3 Write prayer notes!
Learn to jot down your prayer points, especially major issues that you trust God for intervention. It helps to build your prayer life too as well as help you to appreciate God when the answer comes. Your prayer notes can be turned to testimony notes. i am a living example of this. Several of my prayer points of yesterday are my praise points of today. My prayer points of today are my testimonies of tomorrow. Yours shall not be an exception.

#4 If you tell someone you’re going to pray for them, do it!
Pray for everyone that is connected to you, especially if you know their names. Mention their names in the place of prayer. This is particularly necessary when you have told someone that you'll pray for him or her. I often keep lists of people and their prayer points, using it to pray for them. there have been testimonies. You too can do this. It will help your prayer life a lot.

#5 Don’t lie to God!
God knows the state of our hearts always. Let's be truthful to Him. The matter is between you and God. Admit and confess your weaknesses to Him. He is able to help you. It is hypocrisy of the highest order when you pretend before God.

I wish you a better and more result oriented prayer life. God bless you
