The Prayer That Works

Grow On

And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men 1Samuel 2:26 If there is anything the Lord wants from us as believers, it is the willingness to press on in Him. The ability to move ahead with divine pace. God wants us to be like Apostle Paul, who pressed on toward the mark fro the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

This is exactly what we see in the life of Samuel. A national Prophet! We do not have it recorded that Prophet Samuel was at any point stagnant in his walk with the Lord. We have the account of how he started out in the ministry, and latter it was recorded that Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord and with men. The word, “grew on” caught my attention. Samuel did not grow away neither did he grow off. He grew on. He did not backslide. 

He grew stronger and stronger. It is a sad thing when a believer turns his back on the faith. It is sad when a believer grow weary. It is sad to hear of someone who was once on fire for the Lord but now is unable to light a candle. I hate to see such. I am sure that the Lord is unhappy at such. Now can we do to grow on? How can we constantly keep the fire burning? Firstly, it is by determination. Apostle Paul said, “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified” 1Corinthians 2:2. The problem with the modern day believer is that he is interested in too many things. Mostly which are junk! Paul decided and determined to know nothing else except Jesus Christ. You will grow weak and weaker if you do not prioritize your life. Secondly, you have to walk with friends who will constantly encourage and challenge you in your walk with God. Iron sharpens iron. He who walks with the wise shall be wise. Thought Focus: If you grow weary and off, it is your fault! Prayer: Anything assigned by the Devil to quench my fire, I defeat you in Jesus name.

The subject of prayer to a modern day believer has been taken lightly. Few believe in the prevailing power of prayer. The fact remains that if we are to prevail in life, we must first prevail in prayer. Jacob was a good example, it was said of him that, “… as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. However, it is not enough just to pray. We must endeavour to pray rightly. This timely book by Brother Ayodeji Olusanmi set out the simplicity that is attached to the platforms which makes prayer work. This book will stop the cycle of unanswered prayer in your life. It has been written to enlighten us so as to actualize the immense potential that praying carries.

The word is still the same, “... The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] James 5:16. AMP.

The softening of the heart of a man is not the job of a man. I had a dream, my old time school friend who dressed as though mad stepped on my toes and went his way doing as if nothing happened, meanwhile, he waited and paused a minute to see what my reaction would be, then he would have taken offence to fight me, but I, knowing his thought by the Holy Spirit, i did as though he never stepped me. He came back, spoke out his mind that he wanted to see what i would say, but then, he broke down and was sorry for his actions, then I answered, "THE SOFTENING OF THE HEART OF A MAN IS NOT THE JOB OF A MAN" for we know that it is not by power nor by might but by the HOLY SPIRIT. For he said he will give a new heart, a heart of flesh and the stony one shall be removed!
