Prayer

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: PRAYER. (Part 2)

Praying in the Name of Jesus

Curiously, before this Jesus had not suggested that the disciples pray in his name. The model prayer includes no such statement. But as they stood at the threshold of a whole new life era, Jesus instructed them to pray in his name—to ask the Father on behalf of the Son.

Jesus told them in the upper room that a radical change was coming in regard to model prayer:

“I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name” (John 16:23).

Why will the Father give us what we ask in the name of Jesus?

The answer is simple enough: he will do this if and when we are engaged in fulfilling the mission that Jesus gave us. If we return to an earlier moment in the evening, when Jesus was discussing the vine and branches, we will understand why:
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name” (John 15:16–17).

The Lord require of me and you to pray take up these job and as we do this our prayer will be answer as well. This also is another point that make our prayer answered.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LET YOU NAME WORK WONDER IN OUR LIFE THIS WEEK AND GIVE US GRACE TO DO YOUR WORK IN JESUS NAME.
