7 Bible Rooted Prayers For A Change of Story
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"{James 5:16}
The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much.
In another translation; The prayer of a righteous man does wonders.
In another translation; The heartfelt prayer of the redeem will create what was not there before.
In another translation; The agonizing cry of a child of God will move God to do the impossible.
There are prayers and there are prayers
Some can receive God attention immediately God will mobile the angels to start work immediately
Illustration Story
In those days during the time of the great apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola.
There was a day, he was praying with some pastors. It got to a point the man s feet was moving up from the ground. It was one of the men around that open his eye and saw him. He had to run and pull him down
Effectual prayer of the righteous performs wonders
It is very possible to see results of prayers immediately.
The other way round, there are also some prayers that go up and come back without result.
Some people can shout, sweat and do a lot of exercise but it returns no result.
I pray; Your prayers shall not become noise to heaven in the name of Jesus
Think of this,
If all your prayers that you have prayed since you become born again, have been answered, then you should not be at this position; Your life ought to be better than this.


The truth is that, you can always receive answer to your prayers, heaven can respond to your prayers instantly.
There was a  70 years man that was given a testimony. He said that, Since he had been serving God for over 45 years, he cannot remember one prayer he had prayed and he did not receive answers.
When a child of God prays; God gives  replies in three ways.
1. YES. Receive it
God tools Hezekiah that he was going to die. Hezekiah then prayed and he got reply of YES that God had added to his years 10 more years.
2. NO. You cannot have it.
  Moses prayed to God that he should enter into the promise land
He begged v and fasted, but God said NO
3. WAIT. It is not time yet.
 "And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. " {Rev 6:10-11}
This people prayed to God for vengeance but God said wait, you will have it but not now.
God requires that we tender our supplications to Him in prayers.
Without our payers, God might be handicap.
God does not respond to our needs, he respond to our cries.
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." {Jer 33:3}
Prayer gives God a legal right to intervene in our situation.
The faithfulness of God in answering our prayers must not be doubted.
Many at times, people pray and they believe God has the power to do all things but because nothing is happening they begin to doubt God in their own situation.
It is a strategy of the enemy to make beloved to lose faith in the prayers that they are praying.

Illustration Story
A man came for prayers, he wanted to go for a job interview.
I told him that God has given him a place in that organization.
At the interview panel, they told him they could not take him into the company. He came back to me disappointed.

I ask him to go back to the company. He went back there but instead of giving him job, he was thrown out.
He can back to me and I told him to go back. He argued and reluctantly went back for the third time.
The third time, it was at the gate that he was beaten up and sent out of the company. I still ask him to go the fourth time.
This time they threaten to hand him over to the police if he comes again.
When he came back to me he said I should just pray that God should provide him a job in another place and not this place they rejected him. I told him God had given you a place in that company, you must return back there.

When he went back the fifth time, he was at the gate when he met the owner of the company. He told him he has been coming to the company  for give time that he its being rejected. The man asked for his credential and he was apprise that he was rejected. He was given the employment in that organization instantly, after several rejection.
I decree, Places where you have be rejected, you shall be accepted in the name of Jesus.
For your prayers to always get answers, it must be rooted in ten spiritual ingredients
1. Relationship:  You must have a relationship with God. God must not see you as a stranger.
You are not a child of God because you come to church but when you accept Him
2. Boldness: Be bold in the prayers
 Heb 4:16
We must come boldly to the place of prayers
This is because the devil is an expert resort in intimidating people at the place of prayer.
The devil wants to shut you
  Part of the things the devil used in intimidating people at the place of prayer is telling them:
ü They are not spiritual
ü They are not Anointed
ü Look at Your past life
ü You are dirty
ü God can't answer you
ü You are a nobody
3. Holiness and Righteousness
Prayer of sinner is an abomination unto God
God hands is not too short that it cannot save. It is sin
It it's your iniquity that had separated you
It it's the poster pdf the righteous, not dinner
Right standing with God
This is when heaven will hear.
4. Joy
 The vine is dried up, fig destroyed, because, joy is withered
"The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men."{Joel 1:12}
Without Joy there can be no fruitfulness
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."{Isa 12:3}
Don't come to his presence in sadness; approach with Joy.
5. Thanksgiving
Jesus usually give thanks. His Prayers are rooted in Thanksgiving
He prayed at the tomb of Lazarus by first giving thanks.
When He was giving five loaves of bread, He didn't complain , He thanked God.
Illustration Story
One daughter of mine in the north called me in the middle of night at around 4am. She complained bitterly crying and said “nothing is working” . I told her; “I can show to you ten things that her working”
I asked her; Are you holding your phone with your phone ? it means your hand is working. What of your mount? Your eyes ?  and so on.
With these words, she was able to see and appreciate God; She said she will not cry again.
Do you know that you that go to the toilet with ease is a testimony.
Many go to the toilet, struggle hard and nothing comes out
Always give thanks to God
6. Forgiveness
"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." {Mark 11:25-26}
One way to receive forgiveness of sins without confession is forgiving those that offend you.
Forgiveness breaks the backbone of enemy.
7.  Prayer rooted in the name of Jesus
Prayers you don't start and end in the name of Jesus is a waste of saliva
I was Somewhere, a man prayed  “akoba adaba, olorun maje ari”  the people around said amen and I kept  shut.
This is because; any the prayer did not have Jesus at the center.
Jesus told us, what forever you ask in my name, I will do it.
"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."{John 16:23}
8. Faith
You always receive according to your faith; Not according to the volume of your prayer
The just shall live by faith
9. Complete Obedience
Partial obedience is disobedience; God will honor the prayer of the obedient.
10. Prayer must be rooted in the word of God
"For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."{Psalm 119:89}
The word of God is settled; It is established and unchangeable.
Jesus never said, something and say it is a mistake that He didn’t mean it. This is because His word is settled.
When you settle with the settled word the settled word will settle you

Peter caught many fishes because he said ”. . .Never the less because if you word..
Bible based and rooted prayer works so well.
Jesus prayed the “it is written prayers”  and it worked.
