THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

CHAPTER FIVE
PURPOSE OF PRAYER IMPORTUNITY
We find access into a deep consciousness of the God-kind of knowledge when our spiritual sensitivity rises to the expected God-directed level. This knowledge reminds us of our kingdom responsibility; knowing fully well that God handed to us the power or authority to manage the affairs of His entire creation. Our desire to fulfill kingdom responsibility will therefore be aroused by an intense urge to pray, the point is; kingdom responsibility will never get accomplished without making prayer a lifestyle.

Prayer ceases to remain a religious routine or rite. It becomes a serious godly affair that must never be meddled with earthly work. Prayer serves as the power house where faith is generated. In essence, if one’s kingdom’s call (that is standing in the place or capacity of God through Christ
Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit to run or administer the affairs of His entire creation) must be actualized; prayer must remain an imperative force.

The concern for a radical approach to fulfill our kingdom responsibility had prompted the compilation of the prayer and intercessory indicators below:

1. The Kingdom Perception
“And he said unto them, Verily 1 say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. “(Mk. 9:1)

It is not possible for the believer to know how to fully or perfectly function in the kingdom of God without having its glimpse. Having a very clear knowledge and understanding of God and His Kingdom perspective drives the believer into a life time search to be like Him and rule alongside with Him; advancing and enforcing God’s kingdom principles over His entire creation. And so the prayer point...

2. The Kingdom at Hand
“And as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
(Mt 10:7) And also: Mt. 3:2; 4:17; Lk. 9:2; 10:9

In other words, the kingdom is near or yet, the kingdom is already here. The activities that accompany kingdom enforcement express great exertion of power. That is, the very expression of its reality.
“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast Out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” (Mt.10:8)
And so the prayer point;

‘Oh Lord, Let me behold the very presence and glory of Your kingdom in my life and ministry so that I can do what is expected of me in the Kingdom service in Jesus Name. Amen’
