THOSE who pray know that prayer gets answered by God. In the ecological culture of prayer and its sublime gestational realm, spiritual phenomena metamorphose into tangible physical realities as a well-sculpted script in its gamut of performance delivery. Divinity rules in the affairs of men on this side of the divide depending on how well-guided prayer pundits are. This book, 'PREVAILING PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION AND SUPPLICATION GUIDES, ' sets out to sensitize and equip readers by giving a sense of proper direction through a biblical predisposition to the fact that an unanswered prayer is never God's desire. Prayers channelled through the holy vessels of God are honoured by God. Hence, Psalms 66:18 says, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." There are several kinds of prayer but a prayer of intercession involves standing in the gap as a bridge for others' welfare to turn things around and sustain positive changes. It redirects the vicissitudes of life and makes living much better for both the prospects or targets of prayer and its subjects who can spare time to be with God without selfishness and bitterness. Intercessory prayer moves mountains, removes barriers, breaks yokes or chains, lifts burdens, rolls away sorrows, gives victory in every battle of life, provides calmness in crisis and eases perplexing situations confronting believers and the world itself in its socio-economic and political landscapes.In the same breath, through prayers of supplication, we receive assurance, protection, authority, and dominion. It reveals our dependence on God, takes us to the realm of the supernatural and moves God to act on our behalves. In these last days, believers have to be guided to repair the altar of prayer and get acquainted with God more than ever before according to Job 22:21-30. Many saints of old left us their footprints in the ministry of intercession and supplication among whom are Abraham, Moses, Elijah and a host of others. They were all successful in their time. If only we too would consecrate and commit ourselves to the ministry of intercession and supplication, we will succeed and make enviable marks in our churches, homes, environment, and nations. More importantly, we must believe in the power of intercession in order to activate it, operate in it, practice it and seek God on behalf of others. Premised on the foregoing, our prayers must be fervent, effectual and importunate if we would to get things done and have results. We ourselves must be sold-out to Jesus and develop a loving beauty of spirit for other people as we engage in prayer without ceasing. With our spirit given up to God in intercession, there is hope for our Churches, nations, and ministries. Ultimately, our rewards shall be great from the Good Lord Who does not owe anyone.

The dare need of the hour in this critical era of the church age is soul winning which is the sole aim of evangelism and it conforms unequivocally with God's heartbeat as author espouses. Evangelism is personal witnessing, advocacy or public preaching and zealous spreading of the Gospel for the purpose of winning souls (Mark 16:15-20). Furthermore, evangelism is just a subset of evangelization.Therefore, taking it a step further, the author avers that evangelization is the ripple process of making converts, initiating them into the body of Christ and transforming them into committed disciples of Jesus. It connotes continuous discipleship or disciple-making where saved persons are taught and incorporated into the life of the church or Christian community in order to reproduce more saints (Matthew 28:19-20). He also explains that a nexus exists between Evangelization and Christian Development in which the latter has its root in the former and integrally stems from it. The ultimate essence and gamut of evangelization is the continuous healthy growth of its human organ which is the church. The intent is to prevent spiritual decay and preserve the moral rectitude of the militant church up until her transition into the glorious triumphant church. The book will make a good read for church workers, leaders, missionaries, seminarians and young converts.

The diabolical operations of satan and his cohorts to destabilized God''s creation and mankind is undeniable in the increasing scourges of incurable diseases, natural disasters, societal menace, moral bankruptcy, religious infidelity, international conflicts, political imbroglio, neo-colonialism, forebodings of a third world war, drug addiction, debilitating threats of ozone layer depletion, failed states, family and relationship problems, youth delinquency, assassination and suicide, uncertainties and confusion everywhere. Obviously and in spite of silly denials, credence is lent to the awful reality of ugly demonic activities and largely inexplicable, intractable and unpleasant occurrences globally. Ombudsmen, technocrats, and apparatchiks grapple frantically with the puzzles stemming from the orchestrated evil creativity of the discountenanced invisible archenemy of God and mankind. This handbook is the revised edition of Satanic Attacks and the Way Out and the author, by personal experience, sets out to unravel the mystery of darkness in order tackle these unbecoming situations at the roots by providing the necessary tools for dominion and proffering plausible solutions for readers to break free from these nagging experiences unhurt. In Ephesians 6:12, Paul says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." This handbook provides a blueprint for believers to follow and equips them with the biblical principles for engaging in war with this archenemy of our souls and overcoming him.
