The veridical proof of the existence of my Lord, Master and Savior Jesus Christ as the True Lord God Almighty Himself, the Creator of all things was what He said about Himself. “No one has ever seen God,” he told us in John 1:18, “but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.” In addition to the rare, earth-shaking, and never before seen and recorded miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Almighty God Himself in the flesh, of course, His unique Virgin Birth is a no brainer, but His Death by Crucifixion and Resurrection three days later all confirmed His Deity. But in the Journey of Life, our individual point of anagnorisis is faith in all prayers that we offer to the Father through His Only-Begotten Son. If the Father fails to honor His promises as Jesus Christ assured us in John 14:13: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son,” then our faith is de-essentialized. But because the Almighty God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), here are 12 Prayers that must and would be answered by the Father in the heavens when we His Own offer such prayers to His Throne in Heaven.
Prayer for someone to be saved has a surefooted answer at His Own Time on behalf of that person, because; “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Consequently, we should pray for the salvation of our spouse(s), children, loved ones, grandchildren, friends, and all human beings in both lateral and vertical relationships because our Lord God Almighty is “… not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). You must mention the name(s) of those loved ones you want saved. Trust me, God Almighty will answer either now or after you are out of here, because He shows His “… love to a thousand generation of those who love me and keep my commandments” (Exodus 20:6). Prayer for those in spiritual warfare: Apostle Paul compares the Christian Life Journey to a battle. We are soldiers! That is who we are! Satan and his fallen angels have lost it and their names have been erased from the Book of Life. Never again will they appear before the Throne and Presence of the Most High. They are lost forever and for eternity. They want all human beings to suffer the same fate as them. Consequently, our struggle; “…is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:13). Satan and his minions have succeeded in recruiting some humans such as witches, wizards, occultists, and other amanuenses to join them in fighting us; genuine and bonafide children of our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ. I do not know where the so-called prosperity preachers got their gospel from teaching that all will be splendid and bustling with goody-goody life when our Lord Jesus Christ told us point blank: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you” (John 15:18-19). We must therefore fight our individual struggle and war to make it to heaven. When you adopt the mentality of a made-ready and battle ready for Christ, any prayer you offer Him in this spiritual war will be answered because as He promised; “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So, we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13: 5b & 6).
Widows are special human beings before the Creator. “Do not take advantage of widows” (Exodus 22:22) so He warned us. Any widow above the age of 60 (I Timothy 5:9-10) is a link to answering all prayers channeled through them, especially if padded with gifts, whether in kind or monetary. The widow at Zarephath is a classic example. The angels that handle the affairs of widows in heaven respond to our prayers quickly and automatically when we call on them for any help and assistance as a widow helper or minder, because God Himself is the Husband of widows and “…a defender of widows” (Psalm 68:5). All prayers to the Throne of Heaven on behalf of the handicapped of various types: blind, lame, dumb, physically challenged, etc. receive accelerated hearing and treatments by the angels. In Leviticus 19:14; He instructed us thus: “‘Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind but fear your God. I am the Lord.” When you pray for anyone who is handicapped, give out alms and go out of your way to help and assist them, our prayers will be answered. Here is the secret of this prayer; you must remind the Lord God Almighty that you did this and tie your hope and expectations on His Promise(s). Prayers offered because we help the poor and helpless are responded with dispatch by the angels. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2), because the human race sinned, but our Lord Jesus Christ came to the earth to save us, and the sin of the human race was laid on Him. He took our rap because of His Agape Love. You are Christlike when you help the poor, needy and those that cannot help themselves just like you and I in our sinful nature. Children are special before the Almighty God because they are innocent. Satan and demons even fear them, because they find it difficult in most cases to bring accusations against them before the Lord God Almighty. The angels in heaven are on Rapid Response Team when children’s issues are involved hence, the King of kings told us matter-of-factly: “Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). Allow your children under the age of 7 to pray at fellowships, Bible Studies and Classes, home devotions and sundry fora. Their prayers are dynamite in the kingdom of darkness, and you should not neglect their utterances. In fact, we are instructed in Matthew 18:3: “And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” That is not complicated!
When you see a Yoruba person or Zambian or cultured African prostrating or kneeling down to an elderly person, it is not African tradition, but God’s commandment. As He commanded in Leviticus 19:32: “‘Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.” This was the reason Cornelius knelt down for Peter and the latter urged him to rise up. Oriental culture still adheres to this commandment till this day. Longevity is from the Lord God Almighty for His children who obey and serve Him till the end and their prayers ascend to His Tabernacle unhindered, Hallelujah! Prayers on behalf od orphans and strangers by us and our works for them on earth are sweet aromas in heaven. What I make happen to others; God Almighty will make happen for me. He warned the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land; “You must not mistreat any widow or orphan. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry. My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless” (Exodus 22:22-24). We should also help strangers, because angels in heaven come to the earthly realm here regularly in disguise. Prayers to widows, orphans, the fatherless and strangers are Category One in the To-Do-Lists in the Throne of Heaven. The prisoners and those persecuted for the Kingdom of God are another set of answered prayers. There are many of our brethren in Gilded Cages around the world. They are being persecuted in nations the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is outlawed and forbidden, but underground churches are operating in those nations. We receive letters here at The Jesus Christ Solution Center, TX from those nations and what the Holy Spirit lays in our hearts to do we do but prayer is the greatest priority of the Father for these our loved ones in Christ Jesus. The Lord said as much: “…I was in prison, and you came to visit me” (Matthew 25:36). Others are the sick and strangers as well. If you weave your prayer requests around these prominent people in the Sight of the Lord, your answers will come speedily.
Prayer for the Three Wills of God on earth: If you really knew the Almighty God intimately through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the exact representation of the Invisible God and He has given you His Holy Spirit, His Wills are sacrosanct. That is the nucleus of the Lord’s Prayer: “May Your Will Be Done on Earth as It is In Heaven” (Matthew 6:10). There are three revealed wills of God in working for Him namely: His Permissive, Acceptable and Perfect Wills (Romans 12:2). Any prayer that is offered by you that falls into any or all of these three wills must and would be surely answered by the True Lord God Almighty, Hallelujah! Finally, any prayer offered with a vow is a top priority and the Lord God Almighty answers back by covenant. Examples are numerous, from Jacob, Hannah, Joshua to the children of Israel and many more.
On Akeredolu and Ondo quagmire: Before Governor Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu of Ondo State ventured to contest for office as the state’s helmsman almost ten years ago, we prophesied in this column that he would be a shoo-in because he is my kinsman. Here are the links to those prophecies published here on 18th May 2015:- https://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fayemiwo/051815.html )and also elsewhere where are column articles are syndicated around the world on 20th May 2015: https://www.modernghana.com/news/618785/gods-prophetic-gift-sidling-up-with-healing-powers.html ). Again, we prophesied about his re-election on Saturday, 26th September 2020 as led by the Holy Spirit as usual, and he won his re-election as this link shows: https://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fayemiwo/092620.html).
Political office holders think they are superhumans and the laws and commandments of the True Lord God Almighty do not apply to them. They think they are at higher pedestal, but the Almighty God is “… the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe” (Deut. 10:17). “For there is no favoritism with God” (Rom. 2:11). The laws and commandments of the Almighty God shall confront us all on the Day of Judgment, because; “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Corinthians 2:10).
Note this for certain, whether you are a president, senator, legislator, professor, poor or black, white, rich, homeless, young, or old, commissioner, musician, pastor, or your fanciful title you parade on earth, if you sinned against the laws of the King of kings and transgressed the commandments of the True Lord God Almighty as delivered unto us in the Holy Bible, Satan and his demons will claim you as their own, as simple as that!
President John Fitgerald Kennedy of the United State became the most powerful man in the world at the age of 44 in 1961, the youngest ever in the history o our Union. He made his younger brother, Mr. Robert Francis Kennedy the nation’s attorney-general. History is full of laudatory accounts of their stewardships, but their moral lives were a mess. The two brothers were sleeping with the same woman called Marilyn Monroe. More disgusting was the fact that President Kennedy and his father, Joseph Peter Kennedy were also sleeping with another film star, Marlene Dietrich. Satan accused them before the Throne of Heaven quoting the exact words of the Almighty God to Him according to Amos 2:7: “They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name” (Amos 2:7). The two prominent politicians were assassinated on November 22, 1963, and June 6, 1968, respectively while their father died a miserable death on a wheelchair on November 18, 1969. See all the curses and misfortunes that have been trailing the family ever since according to Exodus 20:1-6.
You see, whether you are president, senator, legislator, professor, commissioner, musician, pastor, or your fanciful title you parade on earth, if you sinned against the laws of the King of kings and transgressed the commandments of the True Lord God Almighty as delivered unto us in the Holy Bible, Satan and his demons will make a mess of you. Just as the Lord God Almighty is no respecter of any human being and shows no favoritism in dispensing His Justice, Satan too takes you as his co-rebel and a child once you disobeyed the Almighty God no matter your earthly status and accomplishments. Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu thinks as governor, he could sleep with any woman and get away with it! He had a great intercessor in his octogenarian mother, Lady Evangelist Grace Akerdolu, but Mama died last year, and the intercession ended. If Akeredolu returns alive from Germany, Our Compassionate, Merciful and Kind Lord God Almighty is giving him his last opportunity to fear Him and the final grace to obey Him and leave that confraternity he belongs, because “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
