    What Makes Your Prayer Powerful? (Praying From The New Covenant 2) Series

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on May 6, 2023
     | 2,946 views

    What makes the believer’s prayer powerful is not the verboseness of the speech, not the gyration or energy or loudness in our voice, it’s not even the number of scriptures we quote when we pray. Paul says, “for I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation…”

    This is a continuation of the Praying From The New Covenant series. In my last message “Praying From Victory” as opposed to praying for victory, I mentioned that praying from victory is praying from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. And this is a perspective issue, it’s a ...read more

     | 923 views

    One of the greatest benefits of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Christians is the way the Spirit is our intercessor who prays on our behalf when we don't know how to pray or what to pray for.

    Paul was writing down details of how he was praying for the young Colossian Church. It is a great guide as to how we should be praying for our fellow believers.

    Welcome to week two of our study of St Paul’s letter to the Colossian Church, probably written between 52 and 56 AD – at least that’s when Paul’s letter was written – not my sermon! Last week we considered the ‘gospel [that] is bearing fruit and growing’ (1:6). Those of us who were here took home a ...read more
