I loved his suit and how confident he was on stage. Or maybe his eloquence moved me because how of he vastly and carefully explained what prayer was.
“Prayer is not a ritual, it is relational,” he started. “You do not pray because you want to, you pray because you have to.” He continued.
“From Luke 18:1 we see that prayer is NOT requested but it is demanded. Prayer is not delegetable, because you have lived 20+ years you cannot tell someone to help you breath for at least 5 minutes. And so is the spirit. When we pray, we are breathing spiritually. When you are not praying, you are suffocating spiritually.” He added.
Everyone was awe struck by how well he outlined his points. Myself, I was mouth aghast as I typed the points down.
“Is any of you afflicted? Let them pray.” He quoted Hebrews 5:13. “Did you know that so many people know about God but very few know Him? This is evident in praise and worship. In praise, everyone is all happy shouting in joy good things about God but in worship, many people go blank. Why? This is because worship is relational and you cannot relate to someone you do not know. Worship is intimacy” He explained.
“Prayer is the greatest privilege every believer has and there’s feedback in prayer. Most of us pray to tell God to do something for them rather than healing from Him or letting His will be done in them.” He said.
“You must be disciplined in prayer, effective prayer must be persistent. Combined with reading the Bible, I don’t see the Bible as a book of rules but a bag of seeds. Prayer is not a gift but a discipline. All enviable destinies are products of self-imposed disciplines.” He finished.

That was the most amazing sermon I have had so far. I have learnt more about prayer. We were also given wrist bands written ‘Pray First’ more of giving a promise that when I wake up, the first thing I will look at is not my phone but I will talk to my daddy.
