There is a mistake common to some children and enemies of God – they underrate the efficacy of prayer. Prayer is the control tool in the spiritual realm. While it may appear that nothing is happening in the physical, the truth is things are shaping up in the spiritual.

Someone could argue that prayer does not put food on the table, but that’s not true. Sometime ago, one of my spiritual daughters abroad delivered a set of twins. Unfortunately, not long after, they lost their means of livelihood and life became very difficult. One day, there was nothing to eat and the husband was not home. So, the woman resorted to praying, and petting the twins who were crying in hunger.

Meanwhile, a Christian group in the neighbourhood was evangelising from door-to-door. According to their schedule, they had finished from the day, but the leader of the group said “Let us go to one more house.” Incidentally, they went to my daughter’s house. When he had finished preaching, she apologised for not having offered him anything to drink, because there was nothing at home. He was surprised. He asked for her husband and she explained that he had no means of income but was out of the house at the moment. Immediately, the evangelist left for the supermarket to get food for the family and their babies. When he returned, he asked my daughter to tell her husband to see him in his office the next day. The husband went and got a new job. Imagine if my daughter had not prayed; the family could have gone hungry that night and their conditions may have persisted.

Prayer does not give you the liberty to stop working and working does not mean you should stop praying. It simply makes you work fruitful. Instead of excessive worrying, get on your knees and pray. Before you talk to that person you think can be of help, talk to God.
“Pray without ceasing.”
1st Thessalonians 5:17

Pray always. When you do so, nothing will be impossible for you to achieve.
Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye.

Good!


Prayer remains the master key to those who believe in it efficacy.

Prayer isn't saying things in the mouth.

Prayer is just go ahead and do whatever you want to do to achieve success.

Saying things in the mouth is practicing ritualism and God don't like rituals anymore.
God prefer people who are realistic to take the bull by the horn and do something.

Don't mind Adeboye
