Let Praise Power Your Prayers

“After this manner therefore pray ye… ‘Hallowed be thy name.’” – Mat 6:9

Through the week, we meditated on how to add Power to our prayers. Through “prophecy”, through “passion” and through “purpose”, we followed the great Prophet Elijah and his life of answered prayers to see how we can replicate same in ours.

One more energizer to prayer that we mustn’t forget is the principle and practice of Praise. Let praise power your prayers. If we’re to be honest, sometimes the praises in our prayers are merely procedural: things we do because that’s how prayers are supposed to start.

However, there’s tremendous prayer-power in praise and worship. Praise turns the focus of prayer on God and not the problem. Just as our Lord reminded us on His “Sermon on the Mount”, God already knows our problems even before we pray about it (Mat 6:8,32). We should, therefore, spend as much time in expressing our praise as we do in composing our requests.

Make sure Praise is not something you rush through quickly in order to get into the prayer; Praise IS prayer.

This Month is going to be a blessed month for you in Jesus’ name. May the lines fall unto you in pleasant places, may you step into your place of rest and permanent provision; and may testimony upon testimony be your portion this month in Jesus’ name.

AMEN.

Happy New Month from my Heart to Yours.
