Good day Beloved MCGI Cares Community. You are warmly welcome to my Blog, My name is Olu Thomas, and it's been a while since I attended meetings due to my smartphone, but thanks to God, for the one am using now. I will be sharing my take from Day 4 Mass Indoctrination, BRO ELI TAUGHT US ON PRAYERS.

Lesson learned from Day 4 Mass Indoctrination

What are prayers?

Bro Eli made us understand that PRAYERS means asking from God, requesting or demanding from God and is a communication between two entities. But many believers today don’t really understand how to pray to God, some tell stories instead of praying or tabling their request to God they keep on telling stories or repeating the same things. Prayers are not supposed to be repeated, before I do repeat prayers, thinking that is what will make God answer me faster and I never knew repeating prayers is not what will make God answer me, but thanks to God for this sound doctrine of our Lord Jesus from Bro Eli for giving me an understanding of the way prayers need to be said.

The Bible says in the book of Philippians 4:6, urging us in all situation we find ourselves we should not be dismayed, but in all circumstances, and challenges be it what you’re presently going through, the words of God says we should come to him with our prayers and petition, with thanksgiving let’s present our requests to God.

We were been giving reference to how the Catholics pray, telling Mary’s Mother of God to pray for us, when Mary is dead already and hasn’t been resurrected, we are not supposed to pray through her or ask her to pray for us. But rather lets us bring our request to God directly. And I also learned when we are about to eat let us pray by giving thanks to God for provision, God will not forsake those who believe in and pray to Him and He is always ready to hear prayers.

WHEN SHOULD WE PRAY?

Others pray only during their birthdays, some when things are going well, some when they are in difficulties, some when they got a job, some when a miracle or something tangible happens to them or someone they know, While others pray for the safety of their children.
There should not be a specific time to pray, we are to pray even when we don’t feel like praying. No specific time for us to pray, from the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ we are urge to pray day and night no stop, the Word of God urges us to pray continually, and I also learned to say simple prayers of thanksgiving to God not only requesting but also thanking Him.

HOW TO BE SURE OUR PRAYERS ARE HEARD FROM GOD.

I learned that for me to be sure my prayers are heard by God, is when I call upon the Lord with a pure heart, if we want our prayers to be answered, we need to flee from evil desires and we should pursue love, peace, self-control,kindness and live a peaceful life with everyone, by doing so our prayers is sure to be answered by God.
When praying to God and you hate your spouse, cheating or doing anything contrary to God's will, when praying with these things in your heart. God is not listening to you.
For our prayer to be heard by God, let us purify our hearts and reconcile with anyone we’ve offended.
And for a family of husband and wife, they need to live in peace. The man is not supposed to cheat same apply to the wife, and the husband should respect his wife and he should consider her a weaker vessel and by doing so, I they pray their request will be heard by God.
God does not listen to the prayers of wicked people.
God listens to a man with no evil heart, one whose ways are pleasing to God, one who is baptized and forgiven of all his sins. If we can repent from our sins and purify ourselves from all our sins he will forgive and answer our prayers. For God to hear us we need to obey Him first.

HOW CAN OUR HEARTS BE CLEANSED?

I learned that our hearts can be cleansed by the word of God, the entrance of God’s word giveth light, and the more we study the word of God the more we understand the doctrine of His word and live by it and pray the word. We need the word of the Lord to dwell in our hearts daily
I also learned that anyone praying to the name of Jesus Christ should depart from sin, should stop womanizing, gambling, and anything that will make us fall short of the glory of God.
In everything and whatever we communicate should be truth, without the word of God we will use our tongue wrongly and no man can tame his or her tongue unless the Lord helps such an individual
The tongue cannot be tamed by anyone, only God can control our tongue, and is through His word that our tongue can be controlled. Some believers use the same tongue they pray and cause people with it. I learned to live my life by the standard of the word of God not by someone's opinion but by the word it says.

Why should we tell someone to pray on our behalf when God has given us the mouth and strength to pray for ourselves it wrong, that is not the doctrine of Christ. Keep doing the good work brother.

It is the word of God that sanctifies the heart of men, this is the reasons why we need to allow the word to enter into us through studying and practicing what is written therein. The purpose of cleansing our heart is for ours to prepare ourselves to be approachable to God,God can't answer the prayer that comes from a filthy heart. If we store up the word of God in our heart, it will not only cleanse our hearts but it will also keep us away from sin.

God bless you brother, we appreciate your effort in sharing this with us.
