So, when the Lord Jesus Christ admonished the disciples to pray at least one hour (Mathew 26:40), could He thereon have enjoined us to attain 1hour PB in prayers?This slides deck has example prayer points created to help you pursue a 1hour personal best in prayers. Praying the lot at one prayer point for a couple of minutes will equate to 1hour praying at a sitting. For a full list of the prayer points plus extras, get the published booklet from Amazon or wherever else good books are sold! That said, the how of praying is important. Prayer can be chanted as well as sung or spoken provided the purposes, subjects, hearts motives, and mindfulness in the chanting are biblically righteous. Biblical righteousness entails being bornagain.

Epilogue ABC of becoming bornagain

A = Accept that God loves you (Psalm 100:5, 1John 3:16). Youre Gods heartthrob, and God is intent for a loving relationship with you. His love is proven by Jesus Christs gruesome sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary. Accept, also, that youve hitherto lived sinfully. It is little use accepting that God is love without also accepting we are sinners (Romans 3:23).B = Believe that Jesus died for you (1 John 1:9; 1 John 4:9-10, Rom 5:8) so your sins can be atoned by His shed Blood. According to the Bible; there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22). C = Confess your sins and the decision to repent. Sincerely ask for Gods forgiveness and His divine enablement to personally devote your life onwards to Jesus Christ. This requires speaking out affirmatively in prayers and believing same with your heart. Praying the Word 1 hour | Aham Igbokwe14

Epilogue lifestyle tweaks for a bornagain Christian

When youre bornagain, a few lifestyle tweaks are essential to make. These includes;

Find a living church in which you can effectively grow in grace until when Jesus Christ returns (Acts 1:10-11).Next is prayers. Praying is for a Christian as necessary as breathing is in physical life. Think of whales and such sea mammals which come up for gulps of fresh breath of air every so often. Its similar with praying its how you spiritually come up above the sea of carnality for spiritual respiration. You may sooner die as a Christian, albeit metaphorically, if you dont engage in effective regular prayers.Another is Bible studies. Cultivate a habit of reading and studying the Bible with constant expectation of hearing God speak to you from out of the pages of Scriptures.Praying the Word 1 hour | Aham Igbokwe15

Praying should be taught so it can be learnt and effectually done
