“Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying” - Romans 12:11-12

No doubt, prayer is a key to success and breakthrough. But in other to get faster results from our prayer life, a shift in attitude is very important. The shift entails us embracing a four pronged attitudinal strategies. FIRST, we have to pray without ceasing. Through prayers, we commit our desires unto God by speaking His word over our situation. SECOND, we have to become alert, and work towards what we want, for faith without work is dead. However, there is a big difference between working hard and overworking yourself which Scripture doesn’t condone. Prayer, as a sacrifice to God is the foundation upon which our petition must stand. Thereafter, we commence a process of physical contacts and doing other works as the exigencies of the need may warrant. The scripture says in Psalm 127:1-2 that; “except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep”.

Therefore, if you commit your petition onto God, you only need to work very hard, but denying yourself a measure of sleep, which is required to keep fit won’t be good for your health. So be very careful not to overwork. In any case, it is neither the speed of the horse nor how much trekking we do that determines the level of success we will attain. It’s by the grace of God to those who fear Him and who wait on him for his kindness (Psalm 147:10) THIRD, we must give thanks to God nonstop. Gratitude opens the heart of God. To give thanks to God, simultaneously as we pray is to tap into the realm of mercy; the mercy of God subdues every opposing forces, and bring them to work for us, instead of them being against us. FOURTH, live in the NOW, by claiming the very things you have prayed for, and waited on God to deliver to you. This means you have to begin to live as if you already got what you wanted. Practical faith in this regard, offers the molecular spirit to actualize our desires. At this point, our desire begins to solidify and we can begin to see actual manifestations of what we prayed for, and trusted God to give. Follow these four approaches all the time as you face God with your petitions. God bless you immensely. AMEN

Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for a quick manifestation of my heart desires. Father, sanctify and bless all my endeavors towards realization of my petition. Lord, I offer you this day a heart of thanksgiving and praises for all my travails and joys. I accept them as your will for my life. (Name a difficult experience in your life presently and give thanks to God) Like the Apostle Paul, I declare I am contented in every situation. AMEN
