TOPIC: ACCEPTABLE PATTERN OF PRAYER
TEXT: Matthew 6:6-1(NKJV)
- But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in the secret [place;] and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
STUDY:
Prayer is a common practice across religions, with varying rules an regulations. The common factor among all persons who pray is the desir to get their prayers answered. Jesus, in today’s passage, teaches about th principles that will bring answers to prayer.
He first taught that the thre things that will disqualify our prayers are: a) making a public show o prayers (v.6), like the hypocrites in Matthew 6:5 (b) having a mindset tha repetition of words or phrases during prayers, like the gentiles, will bring quick answers (v.7)(c)
Failure to forgive those who offend us (vv. 14-15). Jesus taught that prayer is based on relationship with the Father, who knows our needs and is committed to providing them.
He enjoins us to praise and hallow God, pray for the expansion of his Kingdom on earth, our daily needs, forgiveness of our sins and protection from all evil. Do you want answers to your prayers? Develop a relationship with God through the born again experience and follow these Jesus’teachings on prayer. If you do these, you will certainly have great testimonies in your prayer life.
PRAYER:
Dear, Lord, please teach me to pray to your glory in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
