3 Keypoints From: Prayer Extinguishers (2)

  • 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)

    3 Keypoints From: Prayer Extinguishers (1)

  • 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)

    3 Keypoints From: Ask In His Name

  • 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)

    4 Keypoints From: Blessed Beyond Curses

  • 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)

    The Purpose Of His Life, Death And Resurrection

  • 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)

    4 Keypoints From: Husband-ry

  • 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)

    3 Keypoints From: Live By His Principles (2)

  • 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)

    3 Keypoints From: Live By His Principles (1)

  • No matter how spiritual you are, certain principles must be applied for certain things to work in your life.
  • One of His principles is in Luke 6:38; if you don’t sow seeds, you shouldn’t expect a harvest. Being stingy and yet praying for God to bless you is like being a farmer who did not plant any seed but who goes to his farm every morning to pray that yams should grow there.
  • Do unto others what you want them to do to you (Matthew 7:12), exercise control over your mouth (Psalm 141:3) and your appetite (Proverbs 23:1-3), let others praise you, don’t praise yourself (Proverbs 27:2), always do things in steps, start small and grow from there (Zechariah 4:10), whatever you embark on, ensure that you plan properly for it to be achieved successfully (Luke 14:28).

  • “These and many more are principles of life that may not necessarily lead you to hell if they are not practised, but will definitely help you to live a better life on earth if they are.”

    MEMORISE: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. (John 5:17)

    4 Keypoints From: The Miracle-Working God

  • Miracles happen when God suspends one or more laws of nature.
  • Don't try to work things out on your own; take out time to cry to Him until you hear a word from Him.
  • With God, the great physician, no disease is incurable. If the body part is so damaged that it cannot be repaired, He will simply replace it because He is the manufacturer.
  • God that can bring money out of the mouth of a fish to solve that terrible financial problems.

  • Prayer Point: Father, please intervene in my life and turn all impossibilities into possibilities, in Jesus' name.”

    Memorise: But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. (2 Kings 6:5)

    Keynotes From: Be A Blessing

    If you only look for what to eat, you will likely get enough to survive on, even though you might sometimes have to skip some meals. However, if you constantly seek to feed many people, your meals will never be a problem because you cannot feed many people while you are hungry.

    When you tell your friends and family about Jesus, seeking to save their souls:
  • You become more grounded in Christ.
  • You will see miracles happen (Mark 16:15-18) making your faith even more real to you.
  • The Holy Spirit will inspire you on what to say when you preach.
  • You have one more reason not to backslide no matter how tough the temptations get because you wouldn't want the disciples to see you backsliding.

  • Action Point: Be intentional about being a blessing to everyone around you.”

    Memorise: The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (Proverbs 11:25)

    3 Keypoints From: Fire In Your Bosom

  • It is better not to bring the temptation anywhere near you than to believe that you can resist it.
  • You may have sworn that you will never do something, but if you allow that thing around you, the devil will cunningly get you to do it.
  • Think about the things or people that present temptations to you regularly and ensure that you stay away from them.

  • “If a man has been asking you for a relationship that you know will lead to sin, why are you still answering his calls?”
    “If you are always tempted to steal, why will you agree to help your group or department keep the money they have contributed?”

    Memorise: Abstain from all appearance of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:22)
