The importance of praying in the Spirit. ~ Poju Oyemade

The importance of praying in the Spirit.

Excerpts from ongoing series at Church.

The Holy Spirit is introduced to us by Jesus as another Comforter who will be with you forever and you will know him for he shall dwell in you.

The term Comforter literally means one called along side to help. Through the interpretation of that word, there are seven ways to see His work. One is as our advocate or intercessor.

Paul writing to the Romans said "Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmity...." we see him using the same term Jesus used i.e "helper." Paul then goes further to explain what help he offers "...For we know not what to pray for as we ought..." His help extends into many things but starts with our prayer life.

How does he the Holy Spirit do this? "...but the Spirit himself taketh intercession for us with groaning that cannot be uttered" He grants utterance to pray in a heavenly language.

The word helpers means to take hold together with someone against a thing. This clearly suggests the one who is being helped by the Spirit has identified the area he needs help by first taking hold of it then the Spirit can take hold together with him against.

Against what really? Our infirmities which means our inability to produce results in that area.

How do we first take hold of a situation? We do this by holding fast our confession, a bold declaration of our our hope of salvation because God is faithful. We have no idea how it will happen but we speak if for He promised it. When we then pray in the Spirit over the same issue the Spirit of God steps in as our advocate i.e lawyer to plead our case before God the Judge citing the will of God as we speak in tongues as the grounds for His intervention.

As you require a lawyer an advocate to plead your case before a Judge because you may have the desire for deliverance from the Judge but its the lawyer that has the knowledge of the laws of the land who can then use the right words to cause a ruling to be in your favour so does the Spirit of God plead our case when we pray in tongues.

Two things are therefore needed a bold confession of your hope and praying in the Spirit.

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA “Good morning, my viewers all over the world. I want you to join me in praying against an imminent terrorist attack in the nation of Germany, particularly Thursday and throughout this week. I am saying this because I have seen it three to four times in a vision. I was supposed to mention this during the last Sunday Service, but I thought it was something I could pray for on my own. However, the vision continues repeating. The Government and people of Germany should be vigilant and guard against this. It is very imminent. We are on our knees praying for the nation and people of Germany."

ACTIVATING THE FIRE FOR THE RACE (1) ~ Joshua Talena

Monday 25 February 2019 ACTIVATING THE FIRE FOR THE RACE (1) (JEREMIAH 20:9) “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay. Child of God for you to run through this year, the very race which the Lord has set before you and win, you need the fire that will keep you consistent in what you are doing. Where there is no fire, men lack the passion to be consistent in what they do, and without consistency vision will be crippled and mission will be aborted in life. Even your services to God become burdensome to you where the fire is lacking. As you go through this year, ensure you carry enough fuel for the race. Fire is divine stamina or fuel given to a man for conquest and accomplishment of destiny mandate. As you run through this year I want you to know you are like a double exhaust car, don’t carry only fire for your

TRIBUTE TO MY LATE FATHER, MR AWE L.E.E - Engr. Awe Hilary MNSE

Over the past few weeks, I have hardly made a post, not because I suddenly developed non - interest in my blog, but because I have been knocked down temporarily in the battle ring of life. This has left me lying on the ground helplessly, while trying to garner strength to stand up again to confront the punches accompanied with being alive on earth. On the first day of the year, 2018, my dad and family gathered together to praise God for the opportunity He has given us to breath the fresh air of the new year, as none was missing in the family, without our knowledge that death was lurking around to snatch him away from us in the month of June. The passing on to glory of my dad, Mr Awe L.E.E, has left me seriously devastated, even when I still live in self denial. In the past few weeks, I have experienced physical, spiritual, mental and emotional exhaustion, as I keep gasping for air that would bring me back on my feet to continue my own journey. However, will I now
