TOPIC: The Relationship Between Sin and Prayer
SCRIPTURE: The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. Proverbs 15:8
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more.
MESSAGE: Prayer is a solemn request for help or an expression of desire and affection to God; Prayer is an act of communicating with God.
It is important to know that prayer cannot be effective until the matter of sin has been dwelt with.
The truth is, prayer and sin are mutually exclusive. They are diametrically opposed. They don’t co-exist. The decision to sin is a decision against prayer and the decision to pray is a decision against sin.
Prayer keeps people from sin and sin keeps people from praying. Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more. One of the major agendas of sin is to launch an attack on the prayer life of a person.
For instance, when a person has smoked cigarette, drunk alcohol, committed immorality, taken money or something he/she was not given, told a lie, etc., the flow of prayer from such person’s mouth would be a struggle, except he/she is a chronic hypocrite. The Presence of God around that life would be lost.
Seeds of Destiny 29 October 2018 by Dr Paul Enenche – The Relationship Between Sin and Prayer
Beloved, the greatest loss in life is not the loss of money, friendship or a job; the greatest loss in life is the loss of the Presence of God and relationship with the Creator. It is an eternal loss! But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more.
ASSIGNMENTS: Seeds of Destiny 29 October 2018

2. Always maintain a healthy relationship with God; do not be too big to ask God for mercy
3. Ensure that your prayer life is alive; never go a day or a week without fasting or praying, it is risky.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask for Your mercy in any area I have fallen short of Your glory. Grant me the grace to maintain a buoyant relationship with You. I refuse to live with a fireless prayer life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
