Failure is not as bas as people paint it to be; it doesn't signify the end, but it is a signal to try again using a different method.

Every successul person you see is a product of many failures. Almost all scientific breakthroughs results from failure. (Imagine if most scientist became sad and stopped after the first itme they failed).

As long as you are sure that what you are doing is in line with the will of God, don't give up on it; keep trying until you succeed.

“When next you encounter failure, ask yourself, "Why is God letting me go through this?", "What can I learn from this experience, what is God trying to teach me with this failure? Are there other stategies to achieve my goal?" If you answer these question sincerely, you'll draw valuable lessons that will help you achieve success the next time you try.”

Memorise: We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (2 Corinthians 4:8)

Ephesians 1:21 says that Christ is seated far above all principality and powers.
Even as the smallest child of God, you are part of the body of Christ; the devil and his demons are under your feet.

“Never ever be afraid of demons that you can trample under your feet.”

Memorise: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (Ephesians 2:6)

When you pray about your country, for example, and later join others in saying that nothing good can come out of the same country, you have contaminated your prayer already.

Don't pray for God to give life to something and then turn around to speak death into the same thing; you will not get results from such prayer. (Joel 3:10)

Another thing that contaminates prayer is a lack of concentration while praying; when people pray, but their hearts are not in the prayer.

“Whenever you find your mind wandering while praying, write down the things that you ought to have done, put the note aside, and continue to pray. Train your mind to keep all distractions away.”

Memorise: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21)

When you pray without faith, the prayer is dead on arrival; For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord (James 1:7); Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6

Bring your requests with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6) knowing that your prayer has already been answered. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

If you pray the same prayer of the man in Mark 9:24, Jesus will give your faith a boost, and you will be able to overcome unbelief.

“Prayer Point: Lord, I believe in you; please help my faith.”

Memorise: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (James 1:6)

God already has an expectation about you before you were born (Jeremiah 29:11) Thus, everything he does, including the prayers He answers, is to bring you to that expected end.

Asking for something outside God's will is asking amiss; such prayers are extinguished, and God will not grant such requests. This is why you must be intimate with the Holy Spirit.

When you pray in tongues, you are praying very accurate prayers because the Holy Spirit is praying the will of the Father through you. (Romans 8:26)

“Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, please teach me to pray according to the will of the Father all the times.”

The best prayer points are the ones generated for you by the Holy Spirit.

Memorise: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:3)

Check yourself before your pray to be sure that you don't have any sin in your heart because if sin is present, your prayer will go to waste. (Psalm 66:18)

Even when a genuine man of God prays for a sinner, the prayer will be extinguished by the sins of that sinner unless he or she repents.

The only prayer that God will hear from a sinner is the prayer of repentance from sin because as long as isn exists in or her life, God will not hear him or her. (Isaiah 59:1-2)

“Sin extinguishes prayers.”

Memorise: Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. (Micah 3:4)

Jesus asking you to pray to the father in His name means that even though you are the one praying, the Father is to see that prayer point as if He prayed it.

Since Jesus and the Father are one (John 10:30), meaning that whatever the Father owns, the Son owns also, so the father will not refuse to give Jesus whatever He asks for.

He already told you that if you ask Him for anything (according to His will), He will give it o you. (John 16:23)

“Many people complain about things they can change by simply praying. Jesus is waiting to hear your requests and give you whatever you ask Him for; don't hesitate to talk to Him. (John 14:13-14)”

Memorise: The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)

It is impossible to curse people that have been blessed by God. (Romans 8:31)

You've been bought with a price: the blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:20), no one can touch you because you are God's possession.

If someone decides to curse you without a genuine cause, don't be moved or afraid. (Proverbs 26:2). In fact, anyone who tries to curse you needs your prayer (Genesis 12:3)

Sin is the only genuine cause that can make a curse active even on a believer.

“A life without Jesus does not have protection against curse. Surrender your life to Jesus and live holy to ensure that you are blessed beyond curses.”

Memorise: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Ephesians 1:3)

He came to call sinners to repentance. (Matthew 9:13)

He came to give eternal life. *(John 10:10)

He came to heal, deliver and set the captives free. (Luke 4:18)

To destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)

“Considering these scriptural references about Jesus’ purpose for coming into this world, has His coming had any impact on your life? If you cannot answer this question clearly, then you need to invite Jesus into your life, even if you have done so before.”

MEMORISE: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

Husbandry (caring for and cultivating crops and livestock) gives us insight into the duty of husbands; they are to tend their wives like gardens for their potential to blossom.

Many married men who are always miserable and sad often complain about their wives not making them happy. Their wives can’t make them happy when they are sad and miserable; it is only what they receive that they can give.

A good husband will see the potentials in his wife in the form of her talents and giftings and will help her manage them properly to yield the best results.

In managing your wife’s resources, you should also manage her excesses and shortcomings; that is the aspect of weeding in husbandry.

“A good husband does not complain about his wife’s shortcomings; he manages them to ensure they don’t stop her gifts from blossoming.”

MEMORISE: Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. (1 Peter 3:7)

Unfortunately, many people are wasting the answers to their prayers just because they refuse to obey simple principles.

True spirituality does not suspend the senses; in fact, true spirituality births wisdom because wisdom is a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8).

Many miracles have already been released by God to many of His children, but instead of them to do what they need to do to get the miracle, they are being "mis-spiritual".

“Can you imagine a couple looking for the fruit of the womb not being intimate with each other, but observing prayer vigils daily? Or a student who has not studied at all, praying all night to pass an exam that is slated for 7am in the morning?”

PRAYER POINT: Father, please show me all I need to do to receive the miracles that you have released to me and give me the grace to do them, in Jesus’ name.

MEMORISE: Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. (James 2:18)
