Prayer (part 1)

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Prayer (part 1)

Prayer – Jesus and His Disciples

Jesus often shared the importance of prayer with his disciples. We often think of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) as Jesus’ model prayer, but he shared much more about prayer with his disciples.

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete (John 16:24).

Jesus told the disciples, “Until now you have asked for nothing in my name.” It is not as though the disciples had not learned to pray before this. Jesus modeled prayer for them regularly and often taught them about prayer:

Do not pray like the pagans with endless babbling (Matthew 6:7).

Pray with persistence (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Pray the disciples’ prayer (the “Lord’s Prayer”) (Matthew 6:5-15).

The Father knows your needs before you ask (Matthew 6:8).

Watch and pray regarding temptation (Matthew 26:41).

Go secretly into a private place to pray (Matthew 6:6).

Pray believing that God hears us (Mark 11:24).

This new week engage your self in Jesus model prayer and with faith believing in your heart that you will testify in Jesus Name

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS, LET THERE BE MIRACLE AS WE CALL UPON YOUR NAME THIS WEEK IN JESUS NAME.
