GHe never asked you to pray so He could do whatever it is

2 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him (Matthew 6:7-8). od never intended for you to wear yourself out in prayer just to get Him to do something for you. As a matter of fact, GHe never asked you to pray so He could do whatever it is you're asking for, because there's nothing He hasn't already done for you. He has asked us not to pray like the heathen, using vain repetitions. Why? It's because He already knew everything you'd ever need and made them available to you, even before you came on the scene. So, why then does He want you to pray? The reason for prayer is to get you synchronised with God's will and destiny for your life. The privilege and opportunity granted us to pray in the Holy Ghost and groan in the Spirit is to help position us in God's place, in God's time, for God's purpose and in God's way. As a Christian, it is important for you to know that God has predestined your life for glory. God pre-ordained your life according to His purpose, for a specific assignment. It behoves you, as a child of God, to locate yourself in that divine plan. So, as you spend time to fast and pray, do so with understanding. Make it a time of fellowship; a moment of divine ecstasy and intimate worship of the Lord, in spirit and in truth. Really, what would you ask of someone who already gave you everything? According to the provisions of the Gospel, there's nothing that you'd like to have today that you don't already have. The Bible says all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). When you know this, it becomes really superfluous and even foolish to start asking God for things. To locate yourself in God's plan, you should have a good knowledge of God's Word and understand the Scriptures. The reason many unwittingly walk in error or ask amiss when they pray is that they aren't acquainted with the Word of God. God's Word is His wisdom and light. As you study and meditate on it, it'll give you direction and guide your choices in line with God's plan for your life. I get ashamed to ask God for anything; there's nothing for me to ask for. He already gave us all things in Christ Jesus. If you walk outside His plan, your motivation will be coloured by lesser values. Therefore, yield to the Holy Spirit and let Him help you locate yourself in God's dream. He'll see to it that whatever you need at every point is available to you, and that takes the stress out of your life. 2 The Heal ing Schoo l Magazine

8 I'd like to thank the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD, for the privilege to be at the Healing School. It was an awesome and remarkable time. I witnessed miracles that, to most, would seem magical and improbable, but these were real miracles; it was the Bible come alive. The place was full of people with various ailments and diseases; there were children, teenagers, elderly men and women. Then the man of God entered the auditorium and the miracles started happening. There were people running, jumping and screaming all over the auditorium; they had been healed! Tears filled my eyes when I saw a lady who had been suffering from cervical cancer for years; her pain was obvious. After Pastor prayed for her, she received healing and stood up from the stretcher. I am so overwhelmed by the enormity of what my Healing School partnership is doing and I've been inspired to do much more, not just in my giving, but as an ambassador of the vision; I'm going out to influence more people to partner with the Healing School. Abigail O. It was a great experience to be live at the Healing School with Pastor Chris. I was so excited to be here and to see the demonstration of God's power in the lives of the people who attended the Session. As I entered the hall, the presence of God was tangible in the atmosphere. People narrated their stories of how their lives turned around for good when they came to the Healing School; they testified of how glorious our God really is. As I watched Pastor Chris minister to the sick, I saw the love of God in his every move. Seeing those life-transforming miracles, I decided that I will do more in my partnership with the Healing School. The man of God specially thanked partners for the great work of the Healing School and I felt so honoured to be part of such an elite calling. I realised that my life is for the purpose of taking healing to the nations; I have become more passionate about taking the Gospel to more countries of the world through the Healing School. Ofure I. 8

9 There's really nothing that can compare with the experience of being at the Healing School. At the healing service, the glory of God was mightily present and you could feel the anointing. There were so many mind-blowing miracles and testimonies. One testimony that touched me deeply was that of a lady who came to the Healing School as a result of infertility. She had been married for 5 years without a child, but when she came here, she received the anointing and conceived. She came to testify with a baby in her arms. That got my attention because I could relate with her situation. More than people getting healed, I discovered that my partnership is changing lives in different parts of the world through the International Easter Youth Camp, the Ministers' Visitation Programme and several other projects. My partnership goes beyond what I give; it is a rare opportunity for winning souls and affecting lives in a remarkable way. Paul O. At the Healing School, I saw many mighty things that my partnership has accomplished. The Healing School is a global phenomenon, and everything they do has eternal consequence. During the healing service, the kind of miracles I witnessed were simply awesome. A lady from Ghana had uterine cancer, but with just one touch from the man of God, Pastor Chris, she was set free and she was given a new lease of life. Through the Healing School, many have come into the newness of life; my experience has inspired me to outdo my past in championing the Gospel of healing to the nations. If you're not yet a partner, partnership with the Healing School is what you should be doing; by making sure others get healed, you are also insuring your own health and, more importantly, bringing glory to God's name.

11 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). The day you were born again, you were born into a life of total and continuous victory. Jesus' death on the cross made you one with Him, and ushered you into the transcendent life of victory. Some people believe life is full of 'ups and downs', but that's because they're not acquainted with the vital realities of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a child of God, you're called to live each day of your life in victory over every situation. That's the lifestyle of the believer. Victory is your birthright, for God has raised you up, and made you to sit together with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). You're seated with Christ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:21). You're seated far above the devil, the cohorts of darkness, and the negative influences of this world. You've already overcome them! Therefore, walk in the light of your victory; let it be your present-hour mentality that you can't be defeated or disadvantaged. Now is the time for you to walk in victory over sin, the devil, sickness, death and the circumstances of life. As far as God is concerned, nothing in this world can defeat you, for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). This is your hour to reign this is your time to manifest the victory that Christ wrought for you. There's no challenge big enough and no demon powerful enough to stop you from walking in victory! The only thing you need to do is walk in the light of that victory. This means that you live with the consciousness that you're a victor in Christ Jesus. It means to have the winning mentality the mindset of a victor. CONFESSIONS Dear Father, I thank you for daily loading me with supernatural benefits and for giving me the advantage in life. I'm renewed, refreshed and positioned for the glorious life through the Word and the power of Your Spirit at work in me today. Oh Lord, I thank You for Your Word that I receive every day, which builds my spirit and transforms me from glory to glory. I live in health, peace and prosperity, and I'm programmed for an extraordinary life of dominion in Christ. Jesus bore my infirmities and carried my s o r r o w s. H e w a s p i e r c e d f o r m y transgressions, and cursed for my iniquities; the punishment that brought me peace, prosperity and goodness was laid upon Him, and now I live the glory-life. Hallelujah! I am born of the Word; therefore, my life is the life of the Word of God! I'm the manifestation and expression of divinity. I go forth today, conscious of my identity as an offspring of the Word, with the incorruptible and uninfectable life of God in my spirit and in my body. I have the supernatural life of God in me! The resurrection life is at work in my spirit, soul and body! I walk in this newness of life, having put on the new man in Christ, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
