Topic: Understanding Prayer
Prayer is a platform where we enforce and establish the will, purpose and agenda of God in the earth as it is in heaven.

SCRIPTURE: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man.
The subject of prayer is one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christendom. Many people do not actually understand what prayer is all about. There are people who think that prayer only happens when they face a challenge or have a need. So, they have no business praying except there is a challenge or a need. And this is why such people can live for weeks, months and even a whole year without praying until there is a challenge. Beloved, is this what prayer is all about? Certainly Not.

Now, the question is, what is prayer all about?

1. Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man (Matthew 6:9a).

“…Our Father which art in heaven…” portrays communion or relationship dimension of prayer. Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man.

2. Prayer is a platform for the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God (Matthew 6:9b).

“…hallowed be thy name…” entails the worship dimension of prayer. There is a dimension of prayer that the only reason to pray is the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God. This is called prayer of adoration. So, prayer is not only about asking God for something but also the offering of thanks, praise and worship to God.

3. Prayer is the platform for the establishment of the rule and will of God in the earth (Matthew 6:10).

“…Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven…” (Matthew 6:10). This entails the establishment of the rule and will of God in the earth. One reason for our concern, passion and prayer for our nation, Nigeria is that what is happening here, like in most places in the world today, is contrary to the will of God for a people. So, prayer is a platform where we enforce and establish the will, purpose and agenda of God in the earth as it is in heaven. It is a platform where we enforce what God wants in our lives.
