3 FUNDAMENTAL KEYS TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

The fundamental thing you should do is to believe in Jesus Christ. You can’t perform miracles through the saints. Is only through Jesus that miracles can be performed.

John 14:12-13 says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.(NKJV)

Jesus aims at leading everybody back to the father. The only thing Jesus is doing even now is to see that God the father is glorified. The primary reason for the coming of Jesus Christ is that everybody should focus on God. 

1. THE FIRST KEY TO ANSWERED PRAYERS IS ENSURING THAT WHATEVER YOU ARE ASKING GOD IS IN PURSUIT OF GOD’S GLORY.

Before praying or asking God for anything, you have to ensure that life is in pursuit of God’s glory. When you think about the glory of God you are thinking of SHEKINAH. When the glory of God hits you, you get converted and transformed.

3 Components involved in God’s Glory

1. Shekinah: This is the manifest presence of God.

2 Chronicles 5:14 says: so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.(NKJV)

2. Kabod: This is the internal glory, the character, benevolence and the goodness of God and His compassion for humanity of.

3. God’s Reputation: If you help Him protect His reputation He will answer any kind of prayer you put to Him.

Isaiah 42:8 says: I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.(NKJV)

There are men that carry the Glory of God for example Moses. God wants to share His Glory and presence. But many believers do not understand what produce the Glory of God. If you are the kind of person that checks and examines what you are doing always to ensure that it promotes God’s reputation, God will always answer your prayers. Promoting God’s reputation has to do with speaking about God’s goodness, His power, letting people know that all what you have are from God, letting people know that you worth nothing without God, proclaiming that you were able to succeed not because of your strength but God’s help. 

2. PRAYING ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD:

You must pray base on what is available. You don't ask God to kill someone who is innocent for you because there is no scriptural backup for that kind of prayer. If your prayer is not in line with what is available then don’t waste your time because God’s word is His will, He only operates on the boundary of His will. Again you need to pray God’s will into manifestation and exercise your power of attorney. You must command for such things to come to pass. Prayer is earthly license for heavenly intervention. Understand what His will is and pray it into manifestation

3. UNDERSTAND THE MISSION OF GOD ON EARTH AND FULFILL THE MISSION

God’s number one mission is to spread the light of His Glory over the whole earth. The knowledge of His glory should spread through the whole earth and the people will come to the understanding that the way to their survival and salvation is to embrace and accept God’s will. God raised the church to showcase his Glory. God is interested in the salvation of men. How is people’s life going to be made better through what you are praying for? How is what you are praying for going to bring about salvation to men? He is interested in everybody going to heaven.
