PRAYER AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CHURCH

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background to the Study.

This study examined Prayer and Its Implications for the Church: A Case Study of Assemblies of God Church Ihievbe Section. Prayer includes not only talking to God, but also proclaiming one’s dependence on Him, as a response of our love to God’s saving act in Christ. Consequently prayer is not only asking, but also praising, thanking, blessing God for His goodness, loyalty, and mercies toward one. But in a very particular way, gospel and prayer come together when one bend one’s knees and ask for forgiveness. This is the goal of the gospel because at that moment human pride collapses and they are ready to receive from the Lord what we really needed forgiveness of sin. Every prayer is a living echo of that moment. Prayer expresses itself as a response to God’s loving mercies with one’s response to God not restricted to our mind alone. The mind and reason, one’s emotions, and one’s body are all involved in prayer, and through each one of those aspects of one’s being, prayer shows itself to be a response to the presence and goodness of God.
