THE SECRET OF ANSWERED PRAYERS I King 18 v 36 – 39 And it came to pass at the time of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at thy word. Hear me oh Lord, hear me that this people may know that thou hart the Lord God and that thou has turned their heart back again, then the fire of the Lord fell and consume the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench, and when all the people saw it they feel on their face and said “The Lord he is the God; the Lord he is the God”. If there is any example of a prayer that was answered and answered instantly, it is this prayer of Elijah that I have just read to you. Elijah’s prayer lasted less than two minutes and yet fire fell. In the name that is above every other name, God will answer your prayer by fire today. What are the components of Elijah’s prayer? What are the things embedded in this prayer, that cause fire to fall as soon as he finished praying? he said Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob. What does that mean? He was worshipping God, just like one of my child said earlier on, he was eulogizing God, he was worshipping him. Matthew 8 v 3 It is the story of a leper; someone who was incurable, someone who was not suppose to be found among the multitude, he came and the first thing he did was that he worshipped Jesus. He worshipped him before he said I know you can heal me if you want to, of cause he had already prepared the ground for his request to be granted. Jesus merely said I am willing, be thou cleanse. Mark 5 v 1 – 15 is the story of the mad man of Gedaren, we have talked about him again and again, one of my son refereed to him again tonight, as somebody living in the grave yard, he saw Jesus from afar off, he ran to meet him, fell at his feet. He was mad remember? But in his madness he still worships God. I have said it before, if a mad man can worship God, what is your excuse for not to worshipping him? Like I have always said, this man was so mad, that when mad men saw him; they hide. But in his madness, as mad as he was, he recognized the Almighty God and worshipped him. Read the story very well, he didn’t even pray to be delivered, but God delivered him all the same, worshippers always got their request granted. Look at Mark 5 v 20- 24, how come Jarius got his daughter restored back to life? He worshipped Jesus! He was a great man but in the presence of Jesus Christ; all men become small. That is why I feel uncomfortable when I see some so called great men who cannot worship God, when we are praising God and we are dancing, we are rejoicing. I see some people who think they are too good to worship the King of kings, to worship the original majesty, to worship the original professor, original CEO, there is no one like him, he Is greater than the greatest, higher than the highest, older than the oldest, richer than the richest, better than the best. Do you know when you read Matthew 15 v 21- 28 that even if God wanted to say no to you and you worship him, the no will become yes? This woman came to Jesus and said, “have mercy on me; my daughter is grievously vexed of the devil”. Jesus didn’t answer a word, she kept pressing on. Just like one of my son said, persistent, perseverance. Because some of you prayed for five minutes and if God has not answer in five minute, you say okay, He doesn’t want to answer. As if God is your house boy, He is the Almighty, brother; He is the King of all the universe, if you call on Him you need to be prepared to wait till He answers. Let’s lift our hands to the Almighty God and begin to bless His Holy name, let’s bless the King of kings and the Lord of lords, bless the great I Am that I Am, bless the All sufficient God, bless the One who can answer all prayers, give Him glory, give Him honor, give Him adoration, lift Him high tonight, worship the Ancient of days. Bless the Unchangeable Lord, glorify His holy name, He is worthy to be praised; He is worthy to be adored, bless Him. Give Him glory, give Him honor, give Him adoration, praise Him today, worship Him, magnify His holy name, there is no one like Him, praise Him tonight, give Him all glory, give Him all honor… in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
