-
Welcome to the logo streamer are with God Save and
-
Reverend Doctor Joseph Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.
-
And now to today's message.
-
Let's take a confession from Joshua one verse eight. Let's
-
spoke of the law, shall on the pad out of
-
my mouth, and I shall meditate in it today and night.
-
And I may observe to do according to all that
-
is rated a day. But then I will make my
-
way prosper us, and then I will have good success.
-
Amen. Why don't you take your seats? Amen?
-
Let's read two passages. One in a way highlights the
-
power of corporate prayer. And then one the other one
-
individual prayer.
-
Amen. And there are passages that we know.
-
And we are very familiar with, but let's just read through.
-
We just highlight a few truths about prayer and what God.
-
Can do and then will come back hallelujah. So let's
-
let's take the first one that has to do with
-
the power of corporate prayer. Hallelujah. The Book of Acts
-
chapter twelve. Let's look at Peter, Amen. And we all
-
know Peter, how that Jesus Christ was looking up to him,
-
remember when he restored him and he told him that
-
I have prayed for you so that the devil has
-
desired to shift you like. But then I have prayed
-
for you you'll be able to stand, and that after
-
you have repented, you would be able to your brother's
-
hallelu and siscess in the Lord, hallelu in men.
-
And then in.
-
This particular passage that we are about reading Acts chapter
-
twelve some way somehow, let me introductory in concerning it's
-
very important if you and I don't learn we are
-
still in look chapter eleven one where the disciple looks
-
at a skin.
-
And that is what I cry. Is the man that
-
got on Wednesday.
-
With an art, it's a discipline that it's an art,
-
and it's a skill that is both taught and learned.
-
So if there I means somebody must learn it, our
-
best teacher, of course is and we lay that foundation
-
that because he did it himself as a man, he
-
got so much tremendous resources or effectively. That is why
-
the disciple looked at him. They looked at all the
-
extraordinary things that were happening to finishing in around his
-
life and said, no, they could only paint.
-
It to one particular prayer.
-
He loved the interactice They all recognize that he had
-
been sent from that what he was doing was so
-
mind blow They knew that it was, but how is
-
it that one individual can say such tremendous from the presence?
-
And they realized that it was his conversations. So after
-
this particular meeting, we don't know what Jesus was brave
-
or the occasion, but the Bible says.
-
They were watching and listening to him.
-
And then it was after when he felt the disciples
-
of Hallelui amen.
-
And then he said, and for.
-
Me, that's the first key, the fact that he was
-
even mindful to God answers prayer, and the first century
-
Church they were so.
-
Impact because they lends the habit.
-
They loved prayer. Hallelujah. And if you and I are
-
going to impact our hopes, our generation, our schools, our communities.
-
Look, if we don't pray, we can't do it.
-
There's no way you're going to succeeds and still being prayerless,
-
it can't happen.
-
Amen.
-
So we have the choice to make being prayer for
-
or prayer less. You become prayer less. We don't know
-
what will happen. By one thing that we know that
-
sooner than later you're liscerning to that. And the Bible
-
is we have come fired, but we can be able
-
to go where God is sending us by prayer.
-
Amen, halleluji.
-
I don't need to add the first thing, but if
-
you begin on the journey of prayer, there's no way
-
that you're not going to add first. Indeed, Jesus Christ
-
that we are talking about is that before he started
-
furteen days and forty nights, he am backed on the
-
prayer exercise, but it was backed by the first to
-
make it much more effective so that he could descend
-
from God. He could come into the presence of God
-
and be able to have every resource that he needed,
-
including the angelic bees who are going to enforce the
-
will of God. Hallelujah, Amen, Amen, Oh God Man sat
-
in the cabalet. And so even as we are look
-
talking about the months of prayer, it is my prayer
-
that we will rise up to the challenge. And when
-
we rise up, it is not for this month, it
-
is for all our walk with God. We must stay
-
on the prayer.
-
Watch hallelujah. Amen.
-
So in John't sorry, Acts chapter twelve, let's read it
-
from verse one.
-
Let's look at this.
-
Peter so prayer Peter and call we know in Acts
-
chapter three, he and John the hour of prayer. Then
-
we're going to pray, hallelujah, and some of the private
-
and prayer times that and Jesus went. He went with
-
Peter and then his brother James. So Peter was somebody
-
who knew the prayer. And then the church also they
-
imbite the habit of prayer because they had been taught
-
to pray.
-
So let me, as I said, this is a story
-
for corporate right now.
-
Listen, he said, now about that time, Harold the King,
-
this is.
-
In the era of the persecution of the church, stretched
-
out his hands to harass some from the check. And
-
that is the point that I make.
-
There will always be a position from within them from
-
what were they doing bringing? Heally bringing the for people?
-
That that's who I ran to posis him from the
-
citting key. You're not sick, fine, If you are fine,
-
you you you have all you have access to all
-
the best doctors, no problem, Herod. But the other people
-
who don't have access, who don't have money, and they
-
are going and they are getting genuine, authentic miracles and breakthrough.
-
Why harassed them?
-
This was not the signery, but rather the king, the
-
sitting the politic ahead who decided to harass them. Harlen Loujah.
-
Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
-
Look at the best three, he said, And because he
-
saw that he pleased the Jews, he proceeded feather to
-
see Peter.
-
Also.
-
Now it was during the days of on living bed.
-
Why should they please the Jews? Why should they please
-
them the religions? And that he had killed James, I
-
think about it, why should they That's why we're saying that, Look,
-
you and I we need to always be on the prayer.
-
What we are doing what God has called you.
-
No think people are excited about it, Halen Louiah. Amen,
-
Then we are doing prayer, start up, and then we
-
are doing lunch our prayer and then we are doing
-
it and logos rem hour. We are doing logos rema school.
-
We are doing You think people are excited for us.
-
We are being naive. You have not ready your bible.
-
You want to do gospel work, You want to do
-
business for God the way we are doing it, fasting
-
and praying and doing going out there and living out
-
the truth of the word of God. No, you will
-
face a proceeding when you start praying. Better stay on
-
the prayer watch all your life because in the time
-
that you will quit pray, you'll be in big trouble.
-
Halen Lujiah, life they see. Amen.
-
Now who is the.
-
God zurro zero matt your something so matteh Now he said, Ben,
-
I feel with giant.
-
He will come.
-
You mobilize his people when they will come. Halened Louiah,
-
he man, sorry they nat, I mean me on no maamad.
-
Raise up, rise up. The church must rise and pray
-
and stay on the prayer.
-
Watch halleluias a may so they killed one. And so
-
when he had arrested, he put him in prison. This
-
Peter now sorry, and he delivered them Look at it
-
to false squads of soldiers to keep him. False squads
-
that's about sixty one squad forty to be on the
-
watch this man.
-
Keep him.
-
Don't let him escape, because when he escapes, it is
-
his life for your life. That's happened that the tailoren
-
hallelujah to false squads. They will rotate or to keep him,
-
intending to bring him before the people after pass over.
-
What happened. Peter was therefore kept in prison.
-
Now look at that highlighted but constant prayer was offered
-
to God for him by the church, corporate prayer, when
-
the church prays, When the church prays, Haleneluiah, Amen. The
-
people who are struggling in our nest, the people who
-
are bound, those find themselves in change.
-
Those who have.
-
Been deployed, I mean those on whose life Satan and
-
his cause have deployed four squads of soldiers keep the Spain.
-
Like I said, our children, hey, hey, hey, let's pray
-
for them moon Amen.
-
Every time I look at them. The first thing that
-
basing her prayer. Pray for this pray because where we
-
went then the struggles we went through, we don't want
-
them to go through. Thank God that they are lucky.
-
We dedicated most of them to God, and God would
-
hear that cry some of us.
-
Who are dedicated to demons in the sea. Hallelujah. And
-
for parents, look, don't be on your knees. Stay. It's
-
not over.
-
Until they have grown. And now they have come to
-
no Christ and they have been trained in war spiritual
-
our alfare and can stand on their own and fight.
-
But it is our duty as families, as pirits, and
-
as a church to stand behind them. Halene lujah. So
-
that you think that when you give birth does it no,
-
But that's why we keep on that. We don't have
-
a choice. Halene lujah. So we bring you to knowledge.
-
We have to stay.
-
That's why we always like to come alongside and to
-
stay with you, and to pray with you, and to
-
still until we see that you are strong and can
-
help the other people that are coming the next generation.
-
You don't just give Beth and then just sprawl them
-
and then you live and go. That's why then we'll
-
teach you that's why we are doing the finest and
-
seek it to seek you out, call you out, because
-
we want to see you stand there.
-
That's how the kingdom works. There's a bedding.
-
So the Bible says that prayer was constant. Prayer was
-
offered to God for him by the church, for him
-
by the church. Now let's look at what happened was
-
that prayer are going to wait? And when where on
-
was about to bring him out? That night Peter was
-
sleeping Louiah bound with two look at preacher man, what
-
what's what was preachers? Peter's a crime, Halley Louijah. He
-
was bound with two chains between two soldiers. Mean and
-
they change him, and they changing the soldiers too. So
-
now when Peter moves, he would necessarily have to move
-
with you. That's why I said there was the destiny.
-
The wed of God had gone on over Peter's life.
-
I will build my church and the gates of hell
-
shall not prevail. Peter was being looked.
-
Upon by God to if you like shepherd and guide
-
the infant church.
-
Now, yeah, he is, and he finds himself in prisoned
-
in change for gas or soldiers two change.
-
Who were watching him. So that he could execute him
-
after they pass over. But that's the critic.
-
I wan ba the.
-
Church spraying for constantly corporate prayer, and the guards before
-
he says bound with two chains between, and the guards
-
before the door were keeping the prison.
-
Now let's go to say. Now, behold an angel of
-
the Lord stood by him.
-
What he means that suddenly whilst he was in change
-
the mindy said he was sleeping.
-
Suddenly the prayer.
-
Started working, and an angel of the Lord came and
-
stood by him, and the lights shone in the prison,
-
and he strucked it out on his side and raising
-
up saying, all eyes quickly, and his change.
-
Fell off his hand. In answer, God is answering the prayers. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
Sometimes situations we find ourselves in situations where in church
-
we find people bound, but we pray every day we
-
are praying. God opened the eyes of the understanding. You
-
think it wak, it will wake, hallelujah. Me and we
-
are products of prayer. Everything you are saying is a
-
product of a byproduct of our prayers, or directly because
-
somebody decided to stand and pray and stand in the garp. Hallelujah.
-
Nothing just happens before we can roll once service. Hey, hey,
-
somebody must stand them. Somebody must stand them and be
-
on the watch. Hey, we are being prayed. No, we
-
are not tired every money. We are praying everyone. We
-
are praying everyone. We are praying for our kids, everyone.
-
We are praying for our cousin, our nephews, our nieces,
-
our uncles. Not the church, oh, because we know what
-
the devil can do giving the chance, and that the
-
Bible says many are the afflictions of the riteous, but
-
God brings the labor. So Peter, I don't know what
-
was going on in Peter's head that day. Oh my God,
-
say now God is asking and then he says, arise.
-
Quickly and it's changed. It's changed. Change fell off during
-
this ip ip. I know changes are going to be
-
looking in the name of cheese. Every year we pray
-
every year. How many years now, eighteen years or whatever?
-
Ahma, shake in the kabaye God, there's a prayer answering God.
-
We know what it has done.
-
But it's a huge sacrifice. Even the breakfast. First, it's tough,
-
isn't it, Because there are some moneys. You wake up hallelujah.
-
Oh Jesus.
-
Now look at let's go on, so the change that's
-
fail the corporate prayer.
-
Then the Angel said to him, get yourself and tie
-
on your sand down, and so he did, and he
-
said to him, put on your garment and follow me.
-
Nine.
-
So he went out and followed him, and did not
-
know what was done by the angel was real, but
-
thought he was seeing a vision. Hallelujah. And when you
-
have those stupendous answers to prayer, sometimes you will think.
-
That it's a miright some what is happening? Can it
-
be true? Halleluh.
-
But that's the hand of God, that's the power of God.
-
So he went out and followed him, and did not
-
know that what was done by the angel was real,
-
but I thought he was seeing the visional look at faith.
-
When they were past the first and the second God Post,
-
they came.
-
To the iron gate that leads to the city, which
-
opened to them of its own accord. And they went
-
out and went down one street, and immediately the angel
-
departed from him Levin, And when Peter had come to him,
-
he said, now I know.
-
For setting that God has sent.
-
His angel and has delivered me from the hand of
-
herold and from all the expectation of the Jewish people, hallelujah,
-
verse twelve. So when he had considered it, he came
-
to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who.
-
Said him was Mark, we have made me.
-
Were gathered together pay even that, And when the live
-
branch was caring, they were praying on your knees. See
-
why constant prayer is very important. And asked Peter knock
-
at the door of the gate. A girl named Rhoda
-
came to answer. Now this is a very interesting part.
-
When she recognized Peter's voice. Because of her gladness, she
-
did not open the gate, but RANI And now the
-
picture stood before the gates. But they said to where
-
you are beside yourself. Yes, she kept insisting that it
-
was so. So they said, it is it's angel. Harold
-
has killed him, hallelujah, and his angel has appeared. I
-
find it very interesting, hallelujah, because sometimes.
-
I say, you pray, pray, praying, your duse pray.
-
Look at then this was the doubting people. The thing
-
that you are praying about, it does happened. And they
-
said no, maybe they were expecting a certain way that
-
you should do it. That's also another thing. Maybe Rod
-
and these people will sit and then they.
-
Will discharge you. That night that not happened before that night,
-
God came, hallelujah.
-
So rather, when the people woke up they were rather
-
the soldiers who's were changed to Peter. They found out
-
that they were rather changed. And the man that they
-
were supposed to be changed towards nowhere to be found.
-
And all the.
-
Centries, the gods they were soon there the iron gates
-
like me. So there you don't just I mean, hey,
-
when God is intervening in your life, you break every chain.
-
Halenlujah. The prison does will.
-
Be opened in the name of Jesus answers to prayer.
-
It didn't just happen. Nothing just happens. The church muspray,
-
the church my spray. Look when we come together, Look,
-
it take less access the prayer at times come, come, come, you.
-
You can't do it, And Lord, you can't do it.
-
And Lord, the fights that are stuck up the gates,
-
you can't do it.
-
And Lord, when you join the people of God and
-
as we pray, there there's a wrap on annoying.
-
We call it a rap on. If I said ion sharpness, ion.
-
Maybe fire lifts up a bonfire, and then your prayer
-
life will be ignited.
-
Halen Loujah. Amen, So there's stays in your nurse. Sixteen.
-
Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door
-
and saw him, they were astonished. But motionly to them
-
with his hand to keep silent. He declared to them
-
how the Lord had brought him out of the prison.
-
And he said, go tell these things to James and
-
to the breath. And he departed and went to a
-
corporate prayer. Can we do the individual one quickly? Let's
-
read it. We know it, Ma'mahannah first time watch chapter one.
-
Let's pick it up from verse eight. Oh my God,
-
my race kaabah rally shaken enemy Tabaia. Now listen, this
-
was also an individual and an amazing woman of God,
-
our lave bear.
-
He says.
-
Then a kind of her husband said to her, we
-
know about the story. No child first first? Is it
-
first or second?
-
Wife?
-
We don't know, Halene Lujah. All that we know is
-
that I kind of have two wives, Pennina and then Hannah.
-
And Pennina had children, but Hannah had Nane because God
-
that shut her room back and the Bible says, you
-
kept on weeping and weeping and weeping and weeping, and
-
then your kinda.
-
Her husband said to Hannah, why do you weep? Why
-
do you not eat? Take note? Why do you not eat?
-
And why is your heart grieved? And might not better
-
to you than ten sons? And Anna said, no, this
-
is me. I'm the one adding it. Luah, my altitude
-
clearly tells you said no, no, no, you don't know
-
what I'm going through and why we say, look, no body,
-
nobody can understand, and no body is best qualified up
-
and fine for you taking front nine positions on the
-
thing that consents you.
-
Hell Kannah, what did hell Canna?
-
Donna doesn't come in in the story, And I knew no,
-
hel Kanda.
-
My husband after all, Penny, that's giving him children.
-
He doesn't care so much this they way in Shiloh,
-
I say, oh, you can imagine.
-
It's the fisting time, Oh Nana, d.
-
It's uni d I P I p Why why there
-

-
Sometimes you will see when God is thing need today?
-
When you wake up wait, wait, wait.
-
Just wait, Shanna rose, She didn't Ito and the telling
-
of the story, you see, that was when she came so.
-
He said, no, you people can fish. This is not
-
time for fisting for me.
-
For me, that's why I always say, look, if this
-
this breakfast, if you do media, I'll do it too.
-
Thank you so many me to have to eat Hallelujah
-
Amen HM. So she rouse her, So she arose.
-
After they have finished eating and drinking. Not only the
-
prince was sitting on the seat by the dumples of
-
the tipknackles of the Lord best ten and she was
-
in bitterness of soul and pray to the Lord and
-
wept in anguish when you desire something from God. So
-
when you are first and you are weeping, isn't it
-
that's another definition of prayer whiping before the Lord.
-
So in IPI bey, wait, whep before the Lord. When
-
the hand upprans, here you crying.
-
God.
-
You know my situation. I come from sunder thiss functional family.
-
Let God arise and.
-
Let the enemies of our souls, let them discuded.
-
In the name of Jesus. In my house is all
-
like basic.
-
I've had the larvation and no, none of them they've
-
always been called you want to to help you.
-
No, none of them can help you. So what are
-
you going to turn to the armor flash. She says,
-
for failure.
-
Now we know how situation denied, denied, denied. Shape said
-
something has to be done pending. Now, oh my, I'm
-
sure she didn't even she she didn't even tell Penny now,
-
because they said the rib was taunting it. So that's
-
why the bitterness of soul?
-
God, why why why why everybody in my house is married?
-
Why done? Why Dondy, why Dody? Why Naddy? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
-
Why the bitterness of it? She did something and said
-
she prayed. She had the conversation to the Lord and
-
wept in anguish.
-
That's great.
-
Then she made a vow that's also very key. Then
-
she made a bound and said, oh Lord of us,
-
if you will indeed look on the afflection of your
-
maid seven and remember me.
-
Remember me, remember me, and not.
-
Forget your may seven, I will give your maid seven
-
and a male child. Then I will give him to
-
the Lord all the days of his life, and no
-
reason shall come upon He said, as I said, you're
-
no teaching, just just giving you that. She won't go
-
now to verse twelve. And it happened as she continued
-
praying before the Lord, that Ellie watched her man. Now,
-
Anna spoke in her heart. Only her lips smoothed, but
-
her voice was not there. Therefore Allie thought she was drunk.
-
So Elie said to you, how long will you be drunk?
-
Put your wine away from you? How long every day
-
you are denying yourself?
-
Meuslem me? Can you guys you're first in How.
-
Long until God answers it comes to? And that's what
-
he has said, He's going to do it. And Anna said, no,
-
my Lord, I am not drunk. I'm a woman of
-
sorrowful spirit. I have drownk neither wine nor intoxicating drink.
-
But I've poured out my soul before the Lord. I
-
have burned my heart to him. That's prayer.
-
That's one of my best deficis of prayer, pouring out
-
your soul.
-
And what happened?
-
Do not consider your maid seven a wicked woman, for
-
out of the abundance of my complaints and grief I
-
have spoken until now. Then Ellie answered and said, go
-
in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition.
-
Which you have asked of him. We know it. So
-
go to eighteen.
-
And she said, let your may seven favor in your
-
side so the woman went away. Now she's going to eat.
-
Why she sends her lifting up in her heart and
-
in the soul.
-
She sends her breakthrough that day, and her face was
-
no longer sach. So he went to eat now nineteen.
-
Then they arose early in the morning and worshed it
-
before the Lord, and returned and came to the house
-
at Rama. Now that that's it, he said, And Kanda
-
knew Anna his wife, and the Lord remembered, and the
-
Lord remembered.
-
Let's take the last verse twenty.
-
So it came to pass in the process of time
-
that Anna conceived and bought a sign and called his
-
name samwell, because I have asked for him. An individual,
-
corporate prayer, a company of people praying. Look at the scenarios,
-
an individual praying.
-
So the church is prayed by your true You must
-
make time to pray.
-
You must know how to pray. You must know when
-
you should put food aside to pray. You must know
-
when you must match before God in boldness.
-
And in confident. God, remember me. It can't before God
-
because you never know when need to be your time.
-
And you hear her prayer, and.
-
Like you said, God, remember me. And now It says
-
that God remembered Head. God remember me and God remember Head.
-
Rise up on you.
-
God. Is a prayer to string God. Turn to somebody,
-
say may God remember you. Can you minister to somebody
-
for me and say God, may God remember you my mama?
-
Ten one, two people you never know. God remember. I pray.
-
I pray for those who are looking for children ma Satahbiah.
-
God remember them like Anna, Remember then, remember that.
-
Then.
