RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual For June 30, 2019 : TOPIC - Effective Prayers (Part 1)

--> 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.

MEMORY VERSE: “The effectual fervent prayer of a right
eous man availeth much.” – James 5:16b
BIBLE PASSAGE: Philippians 4:4-7 KJV 
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: According to the scriptures, the power if prayer is simply the power of God who hears and answers prayers. In order to pray effectively, we need to understand the nitty-gritty of prayer. This is spelt out in the teaching of the Lord Jesus on prayer and by His practical life of prayer. Luke 18:1-8.
2 LESSON OUTLINES
LESSON OUTLINE 1: DEFINITION AND REASONS FOR PRAYER
Prayer, simply put, is the soul of the man talking to God. It is worship addressed to God the Father, in the name of God the Son, through the power of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:13; Romans 8:26-27). Prayer should consist of the following:
  1. Adoration i.e. praise and worship for who/what God is. (Psalm 95:6).
  2. Thanksgiving for anything and everything that God has done. (Phil. 4:6).
  3. Confession and repentance for every known sin. (Psalm 32:5).
  4. Supplication i.e. intercessions, petitions, request and desires. (1 Tim. 2:1).
    We pray for a variety of reasons. God commands us to pray (Luke 18:1; 1 Thess. 5:17). Prayer is a way of serving God and obeying Him (Luke 2:36-38). God intends prayer to be the means if in training His solutions in a number of situations. We pray in preparation for major decisions (Luke 6:12-13). We also pray to overcome demonic barriers (Matt. 17:14-21); to gather workers for spiritual harvest (Luke 10:2); to gain strength to overcome temptations (Matt. 26:41) and to obtain the means of strengthening others spiritually (Eph. 6:18-19).
LESSON OUTLINE 2: WHERE AND WHEN CAN WE PRAY?
We can pray everywhere (1 Tim. 2:8), In the closet (Matt. 6:6), or in the church (Luke 18:10). Private prayer may be made in the secret place. Family prayer will involve a large group and may be made in the sitting room while public prayer may be made before the congregation.
We can pray in the morning (Psalms 5:3), at noon and in the evening (Psalm 55:17), day and night (Psalm 88:1), daily (Psalm 86:3), and always (Luke 18:1). It is not only when you are on your knees with your eyes closed that you can pray. You can pray as you drive to work, while at work or while resting. Singing praises to God is also a form of prayer. Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).
CONCLUSION: Jesus prayed and His followers are expected to pray (Luke 6:12). Let us, therefore, act now and present all our petitions to God in the name of Jesus Christ. It is certain that He will answer according to His perfect will for us.
QUESTIONS:
  1. What is prayer and why should we pray?
  2. When can we pray as believers?
FOR FURTHER READING: Mark 11:24; John 15:7; 1 John 5:4-15; John 16:24.
