ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): 1 CHRONICLES 4:9-10 
MESSAGE TOPIC: PRAYER AND THE BLESSING 
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

Prayer and the Blessing by Pastor Paul Enenche

SERVICE OBJECTIVES:

1. Understanding the relationship between prayer and the blessing
2. Understanding how prayer blesses a life

THE EFFECTS OF PRAYER:

1. Attaining the Blessing (Gen. 32:24-28; 1Chron. 4:9-10)
2. Maintaining the Blessing (Gen. 19:27; Ps. 55:17) 
   One of the worst mistakes a person can make is to abandon the secrets that gave you success; whatever took you in is what will keep you in – the way in is the way forward

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PRAYER AND THE BLESSING:

1. The lifestyle of prayer (and fasting) brings people into favour and tender love with God (Dan. 9:23; 10:11, 18-19; Prov. 16:7; Dan. 1:9; Luke 2:52) 
   Anyone who enjoys hanging around God will enjoy the favour of God 
   When you have favour with God, favour with man is automatic (Prov. 16:7)
2. The lifestyle of prayer (and fasting) releases upon the prayerful blessings indeed – visible, undeniable blessings (1Chron. 4:9-10; Isa. 61:9) 
   The Blessing is the therapy for the curse; the way light handles darkness, that is the same way the blessing eliminates the curse
3. The lifestyle of prayer (and fasting) is gateway to the enlargement of life and destiny for the prayerful (1Chron. 4:10; Gen. 32:28) 
   At the place of prayer, limitations give way to expansions 
   For the prayerful, confinement and containment can never be a challenge
4. The lifestyle of prayer (and fasting) is the platform for the establishment of the Hand of God on the life of the prayerful (Jam. 5:17; 1 Kings 18:46) 
   The Hand of God gives you unstoppable speed and irresistible acceleration 
   The Hand of God puts you far ahead anyone considered your contemporary 
   When the Hand of God is on you, a time comes when you are literally classless
5. The lifestyle of prayer (and fasting) is the platform for deliverance from the cycle of pain, evil, and grief for the prayerful (1Chron. 4:10; Acts 12:5; Phil. 1:21-25) 
   The cycle of calamity and negativity don’t stand a chance when confronted by prayer fire. 
   Your decision affects your destination, conclusion, preservation and distinction

SECRETS OF SEEING THE BLESSING OF PRAYER:

1. The maintenance of an unbroken communion schedule with God (Gen. 19:27; Dan. 6:10; Ps. 55:17) 
   Your schedule determines your success; your habit determines your habitat 
   God does not do serious things with unserious people 
   Anyone who does not respect your relationship with God is an agent of devil 
   Anyone who does not value your value for God has been sent to devalue your life.
2. The enjoyment of the life of relationship with God at the place of prayer without necessarily making 
   requests or demands (Matt. 6:9; Job 13:15; Dan. 3:16-18) 
   Shift from the realm of requests; bombard heaven with your worship and praise and God will meet you at your point of need.
3. Make demands for the enforcement of the Blessing when necessary (Gen. 32:24-28; 1Chron. 4:9-10) 
   React against the forces of negativity and the forces of the enemy at the place of prayer

PRAYERS 
Father, I make demands on the discipline of a prayer schedule; help me not to put other things first but to put You first; deliver me from distractions Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Father, I receive fresh passion for Your Presence, fresh grace to love You like never before, I receive it Lord, in Jesus’ Name. 
Father, not my will but Yours be done. Do with my life Lord whatever You want to do, in Jesus’ Name.
