--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

2. Worship
The second principle of effective prayer as laid down by Christ in Matthew 6: 9 is worship. When Jesus said, “Hallowed be Your name,” He was teaching us the pattern for honouring, worshipping and adoring our God.
 
Worshipping God is not primarily about singing but about how you esteem Him with your life—in and out of church. 
God warned His people in the Old Testament not to take His name in vain. This principle of prayer requires you to honour the name of the Lord, hallow and sanctify His name not only at the time of prayer, but more importantly it must be part and parcel of your life. You can't use the name of God in vain throughout the week and come to church sanctimoniously on Sunday. That way, you are simply playing religion with the name of the Lord, but deceiving yourself to think you are hallowing His name. This is what many Christians do and that is why they don't get answers to prayers.
 
Many people pray just to soothe their conscience, but prayer is more than soothing your conscience. Effective prayer is a two-way communication with the living God, by a human being living in a covenant relationship with God. This affects and changes things in the situations and circumstances of such people. Don't form the habit of praying to soothe your conscience or just praying as a religious duty. Let your heart permanently express true worship in and out of prayer with a life that eschews evil, lavishes on the Lord and esteems God above all.
 
PRAYER: Lord, I worship you from the depth of my heart. I refuse to mouth empty words but I pray for grace to honour you in all my ways in Jesus’ name. Amen!
