Proverbs 28: 9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
What is prayer? I believe when anyone holds a tool or an instrument he or she doesn’t practically knows how to use, the same tool can cause damage to the holder.
We all should know that prayer is a two way communication and not a monologue, it is a dialogue.
Prayer is that divine instrument that makes us effective on earth. It opens the divine portal for proper communication between God and man.
“… The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much…”
The prayer focus – An inner content of a true believer
Introduction –
Drawing our sources from both the letter and the spirit of the Word, experience has shown over time that human are mostly attach to prayer when they feel they are in trouble or when they find themselves in one trouble or the other.
A believer however, ought to pray both in season and out of season. A consistent prayer content for walking with God is different from the prayer content of a man in trouble.
As it is said, you don’t prepare for war in the day of war but in the day of peace before the evil comes.
The content of a man’s prayer reveals the quality of the material of his spirit. If you want to know a fine spirited man, listen to how he communicates with God in his prayer.
