PIDGIN PRAY WITH POWER!

Psalm 4:1–8

My God, make Yu ansa mi wen I koll Yu. Na only Yu go fit diliver and free mi from wiked pipol and all my trobol. Make Yu sorry for mi kon hear my prayers.

2 Na how long pipol go take dey tok bad about mi? How long una go dey tok wetin I nor do? How long una go kontinue to dey lie for my head?

5Make yu offa sakrifice with di rite spirit give God kon trust am.

6Many pipol dey sey, “Who go fit show us wetin dey good?” So my God, make Yu smile for us.

7Yu don give mi more joy pass doz wey get many food and wine to drink.

8 I dey sleep with peace, bikos na only Yu wey bi my God, dey save mi. 

 

Prayer na compulsory and powerful weapon for Christian warfare, but many people no get powerful prayer life because dem either no understand the principle of prayer or dem confuse about how prayer dey work. Prayer na relationship, no be routine. Prayer na the place where you meet God heart‑to‑heart. E no be just to talk; na to connect. God dey invite you into conversation because He want relationship, not performance. 

For general sense, prayer na the act of asking God for favour, especially with seriousness and strong desire. Prayer as worship na solemn talk to Almighty God, wey include adoration (to express how God dey glorious and perfect), confession of our sins, to beg for mercy and forgiveness, intercession to ask blessing for ourselves and others, and thanksgiving to show gratitude to God for Him mercy and benefits. 

Prayer na place of exchange. You bring your weakness, God give you strength. You bring confusion, He give you clarity. You bring burden, He give you peace. Prayer na where this divine exchange dey happen. 

We dey pray to God wey dey listen and hear us when we call am, as He promise for Jeremiah 33:3. For prayer, we carry our anxieties go meet God wey wise, loving and sovereign, as we confess and repent from wrong and sin according to Psalm 66:17–18. The psalmist no talk say because prayer strong, our distress go just disappear; many times people stop prayer because the answer wey dem expect no be wetin dem see or e take long before e come. 

Jesus command us to pray, and He use Matthew 7:7–11 as springboard to show how and why we must pray. Na three requirements dey for prayer: Ask, Seek and Knock (ASK). These three words dey present tense, and e show continuous action — keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking. All three command get response from God: when you ask, you go receive; when you seek, you go find; and the door go open to the person wey dey knock. And if we do all these prayerfully with faith, God dey answer. 

Prayer na spiritual posture, no be only spoken word. You fit pray with silence, with tears, with gratitude, with obedience, with waiting. Sometimes the deepest prayers no get sound at all. 

Every Christian suppose learn to go on their knees before dem stand on their feet. As great and powerful as God dey, He no fit answer prayer wey nobody pray, so pray. God dey wait make you pray and prevail with the authority wey dey in the name of Jesus, as John 14:14 talk. Prayer no be say we dey send God make He do our will, but na we dey do God will. 

Praying with power fit open and close doors, heal the sick, move heaven and earth and restore life, because God dey answer prayer as the only true God according to Deuteronomy 6:4. Anointed and spiritual warfare prayer wey get power dey carry us from need level go faith and trust level; na when we pray with faith to see God hand and will done, no be just because we want something from the Lord. 

We must enter prayer with expectation as Proverbs 10:28, 23:28 show, and with faith as Mark 11:22–24 talk, to ask for anything, big or small, as John 14:13 talk. Our prayer must follow God will as 1 John 5:14–15 declare. God word and Him will together be like nuclear bomb to scatter the enemy, powerful weapon. We fit be like the blind man for Mark 10:51 and pray clear and specific prayer without confusion. You get power and authority inside the word of God, the blood of Jesus and the authority wey dey Him name as both natural and supernatural weapons, so pray with power with wetin God don give you.
