⚓Scripture: Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Beloved, welcome to another Moment of Daily Encounter! We give thanks to God for making it possible for us to see the end of January! Our theme for the month of January was "Prayer the Priesthood of the Believers"! Under this theme, we have been able examined fasting, the importance of fasting and prayers. We then round up with understanding different kinds of prayers. The reason for studying the various kinds of prayers is to understand that different kinds of prayers has its rules of engagement. It is not in all cases you speak with the tone of command because you cannot command your father. Today, as we close out the subject of understanding various kinds of prayers, we shall be looking at the prayer of supplication.
*What are the various kinds of prayers studied so far?*
I. The prayer of Agreement
II.Thanksgiving prayers
III. Prophetic Prayers.
IV. The prayer of Faith
V. Warfare Prayers:
VI. Prayer of enquiry
VII.The Prayer of Intercessions
VII.Travailing prayers
VIII. Groanings
IX The prayer of supplication: The word supplication simply means to request or petition. So the prayer of supplication therefore is prayer of request or petition made to God.
The prayer of supplication is two dimensional:
A. Personal supplication: it is personal supplication when you table your heart desires to God in prayer. Jesus taught us like this:
*Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.*
Beloved, your aspirations, ambition, destiny pursuit can be hand over to God in prayer. Your specific expectations also can be presented in the place of prayer of personal supplication. This is where we address the matter of bread because Jesus taught us to pray thus:
*Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.*
We must learn to ask God for our daily bread. Our daily bread speak of our daily needs- this includes, shelter, food and security. We can as well pour out our fears and worries. That's why we have been warned not to worry:
*Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.*
So, it is possible you're worried and concerned about the year 2026, God said don't be worried, don't be anxious, rather make your supplication known unto Him;.
*Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.*
B. Supplication for others: This is making request for others. It is also called prayer of petition where you make petition to God for specific issues. For example a mother making supplication for her precious daughter or a friend making supplication for his friends etc.
Besides, making supplication for all men is what we must do as a sign of matured believers. For the Bible said:
*1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.*
Jesus taught us to pray kingdom advancement prayers as we make our supplication known to God in His model of prayer. The Bible said:
*Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.*
Observe the clause "thy kingdom come. Tby will be done in earth"- meaning the reign of God in the heart of men. This is the focus of the church that we often call kingdom advancement prayers. So, we make supplication to God on issues that can increase or advance His kingdom on earth. Infact, when we focus our energy on praying for issues that will advance God's kingdom on earth, we are bound to receive hundreds fold returns because we are signing a partnership form with God.
*Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.*
In conclusion, understanding various kinds of prayers will help us to pray aright, know the rules that govern the prayer and live an effective Christian life.
*Remember this:*
Heaven is real and hell is real! The decision of where to spend eternity begins now, give your heart to Jesus today.
*Prayers points.*
~Father thank you for your word to me today.
~ Father, help me to make my supplication rather than getting worried as i focus more on the kingdom regularly than my personal needs in the name of Jesus Christ.
*Prophetic Declaration:*
~ I prophesy in this season of open doors, your prayer altar will remain on fire for the kingdom in the name of Jesus.
~ May you obtain promises as you enjoy the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit in prayer in the name of Jesus.
*Assignment:*
Refuse to worry rather make that issue of concern known to God in prayer.

God bless you real good
