In this world, with its intricate and vastly different levels of experiences, we are called to live as Christians and as citizens of Heaven. We are called to represent the divine will of God despite the wickedness sent upon us by the kingdom of darkness. But what many of us have yet to discover is the ability to shape our world through the power of prayer. After preaching passionately on the subject of prayer, Jemiriye Fakunle's disciples gave him reason to share his Christian experience and convictions on prayer with a wider group of audience. In Understanding the Power of Prayer, Fakunle's intention is to take readers on a progressive journey in the Christian formation to a place where they lose all excuses for leading a prayerless Christian life. Fakunle was inspired by the desire to see the birth of a new breed of Christians who truly know how to bring Heaven to earth until the will of God in Heaven becomes our earthly realities. Prayer revives us. It is formidable to the Enemy and renewing in spirit. It doesn't matter who or where you are in the world; we all have the ability to create our own reality and live above the political intimidation, corruption, and vices that penetrate the fabrics of society. If your desire is to live for Christ and live the conqueror's life as you serve God and His people, this book is for you.
