FIRST MORNING WORD SESSION
Ministering: Pastor David Ndubueze
Only the people whose prayer altar is on fire enjoy
dominion.
What is dominion?
Dominion means to bear rule in-spite of opposition; to win against all odds; to
reign whether the enemy likes it or not (Psalm 110:2).
Life is a battlefield not a playground (1 John 5:19;
Psalm 74:20). Only those that travail on the altar of prayer will prevail in
life (Isaiah 66:7-8; James 5:17-18).
Life is not a funfair but spiritual warfare. Prayer warfare
is a compulsion not a suggestion to emerge a winner. The day we stop praying,
we start losing (Luke 18:1; Luke 22:39-40).
We are destined for dominion but from the beginning
of creation, there has remained a raging battle against the heritage of
dominion (Genesis 1:1-26). For every divine agenda on earth there are always
demonic oppositions (1 Corinthians 16:9). We must engage in a fight of faith on
the altar of prayer or we will be fried for free on the altar of wickedness
(Matthew 11:12). When you stop fighting you start dying.
Whether you know it or not, a
battle is on. The more God is lifting you, the more people are angry with you
(Acts 23:1-2, 9-12, 16). Paul experienced dominion against all odds because his
prayer life was on fire (Colossians 4:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; 2 Thessalonians
3:1-2; 1 Corinthians 14:18; 1 Timothy 6:12). Your prayer altar needs to catch
fire.
Some battles require that we
couple our prayer with fasting if we must win (Matthew 17:21). Prayer and
fasting are not suggestions; they are commands (Isaiah 58:6; Matthew 6:6, 16-18).
Rebuild your prayer altar that is your power Centre.
What is Prayer?
1. Prayer
is a platform for divine empowerment (Psalm 63:1-3). In prayer, we contact
power for manifestation. Dominion is our heritage but it requires manifestation
(Luke 24:19; Acts 1:8; Luke 4:14; Psalm 66:3-4).
2. Prayer
is the spiritual control room of destiny (James 5:17-18; 1 Chronicles 4:9;
Genesis 32:24; 1 Samuel 1:9-10; 1 Samuel 2:5). God gives you permission to
prevail on the altar of prayer.
3. Prayer
is a spiritual weapon for winning the battles of life. If you can pray, you
don’t need to fear (Acts 16:25-26)
4. Prayer is not a gift but a command. When you want to win in battle, you must learn how to align with commands. Start praying by praying.
