Pst. Tunde Kikiowo delivers a powerful message on the importance of prevailing prayer and soul travail. This sermon focuses on these key points:
🛡️ Spiritual Warfare: We live in a world influenced by evil, necessitating spiritual armour (Ephesians 6:10-18) and effective prayer strategies.
🙏 Prayer as Relationship: Prayer is intimate communication with God. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” – Philippians 4:6
🌙 Night Seasons of Prayer:
-
Jacob’s transformation occurred during night time prayer (Genesis 32:24-28)
-
“Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin” – Lamentations 2:19
-
Night prayers can lead to breakthroughs, as with Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:1-5)
⛓️ Breaking Spiritual Prisons: Like Paul and Silas, persistent prayer can break any form of bondage – financial, health, or spiritual.
🔁 Consistency in Prayer:
-
Pray through, don’t just pray.
-
“Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” – Luke 18:1
💪 Perseverance in Prayer: Don’t stop prematurely. Like Elisha instructed the king (2 Kings 13:18-19), continue in prayer until breakthrough comes.
🕯️ Divine Revelation: In deep prayer, God reveals His plans. “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived… these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.” – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
💡Commit to a life of prevailing prayer. Your breakthrough may be just one more prayer away. Persist in faith, knowing that God hears and answers the earnest, consistent prayers of His children.
