SPEAKER: APOSTLE AROME OSAYI
Apostle Arome Osayi IN ThIS VIDEO discusses the deep spiritual engagement required for effective prayer, emphasizing that prayer is not merely an activity but an integral part of a believer's identity. Here are the key points:
The Nature of Prayer:
Prayer should engage the entire being: spirit, soul, and body.
It is driven by the "spirit of prayer," a divine force that empowers and guides the believer.
Common Pitfalls:
Many believers pray absentmindedly, focusing on superficial aspects rather than fully engaging with God.
True prayer requires more than just physical presence or reciting learned words; it demands total immersion and genuine spiritual engagement.
Biblical Insights:
Hebrews 5:7 shows Jesus praying with His entire being, demonstrating the necessity of emotional and spiritual involvement in prayer.
Effective prayer involves crying out to God with a deep sense of need and reliance on Him.
Persistent Prayer:
The article highlights the importance of persistence in prayer, comparing it to "knocking at the door" continuously until a breakthrough is achieved.
Many believers give up too soon and fail to see results due to a lack of sustained effort.
Aligning with God's Will:
Effective prayer focuses on aligning with God's heart and will rather than just presenting personal requests.
True intercession involves seeking to understand and pray for God's desires and burdens.
The Role of Devotion:
Devotion is a crucial aspect of prayer, characterized by quietness, seriousness, thoughtfulness, and a desire to cultivate a relationship with God.
This involves an intentional and deliberate effort to draw near to God, seeking to understand His movements and desires.
Experiencing Divine Strength:
Sometimes, believers may need divine assistance to sustain their prayers, as seen in Luke 22:43 where an angel strengthens Jesus.
Such experiences elevate prayer to a level where the believer loses consciousness of time and is fully immersed in the divine presence.
Understanding God's Language:
Believers must train their hearts to discern God's movements and communications within their spirit.
This discernment separates mature believers from novices, enabling them to respond accurately to God's will.
Devotional Life:
A strong devotional life is essential for effective prayer, involving an attitude of indebtedness and submission to God.
It includes serious, thoughtful, and meditative practices that expose the believer to the realities of the "secret place" where God's presence is profoundly felt.
Practical Steps:
Believers are encouraged to make God's concerns their primary focus in prayer.
The desire to know and respond to what is on God's heart is fundamental for being drawn into deeper spiritual experiences and effective intercession.
This VIDEO underscores that effective prayer is an all-encompassing spiritual exercise requiring total commitment, persistent effort, and a deep alignment with God's will and heart. #apostleaaromeosayi #aromeosayi2021#prayer#witchcraft #apostleaaromeosayi #arome #ielts #rcnglobal #remnant2 #remnant #remnantchristiannetwork #aromeosayilive#Arome osayi
