As I started writing this Book on 21 February 2020 about 1.00pm, the Holy Spirit suddenly
enveloped me. I broke down, laid face down and wept throughout as the LORD downloaded this
message to the world. I completed the script on 25 March 2020. It is my hope that I captured
exactly what JEHOVAH THE GREAT I AM wanted me to convey to you & me. The LORD is TRUTH,
therefore any mistakes are from me. I sincerely trust that your prayer life will be strengthened
by this little Book, based on James 4:1-4. PRAAAAAISE THE LORD! GLORY BE TO LORD Jesus
Christ! Thank You Holy Spirit OF GOD!

 Chapter …. THE MYSTERY OF ANSWERED PRAYER!

Have you ever felt like your prayers are only hitting the ceiling and bouncing back to you? Or
that there is some blockage clogging the prayer pipeline, stopping answers to your prayers
from sipping back to you? Do you ever feel like GOD is turning a deaf ear to your prayer; or
that your entreaty has indeed caressed His Majesty's ear, but has failed to rouse Him to
action? I don’t know about you, but I (and billions more) have definitely encountered this
frustrating experience on several occasions.

On daily basis, people bring their requests before GOD in prayer, with the earnest
expectation of receiving a direct response from the KING OF KINGS! In theory, it should work
like this: You put on your most convincing prayer face by twisting and contorting key facial
muscles, close your eyes very tight like they are full of peri-peri powder, turn-on that deep or
shrill prayer voice for added sound effects, squeeze two or three tear-drops to show your
Creator that your request is really serious and demands urgent attention, start uttering your
prayer employing the most convincing words & phrases in your vocabulary, and GOD (suitably
impressed by your antics) then grants your prayer request there and then! SIMPLE & STRAIGHT
FORWARD, RIGHT!!! Unfortunately, as you well know this kind of prayer always impresses
those around you who grant or utter numerous “AMENS”, but rarely do answers come from
the Throne Room!

Prayer is simple, yet complicated. Prayer is a free resource at everyone’s disposal, but it is
also a very costly exercise, whose answers do not come cheap! Prayer is the vehicle that
transports our messages to JEHOVAH, the One True GOD. It must also bring back His
responses. Often we dangle prayer like a bargaining chip, carrot, or fish-hook in front of GOD,
in the hope of negotiating or connecting with a blessing. Yet prayer should be a spiritual
highway that connects us with the Mind of GOD instead. Our prayers fail when we focus on
the blessings, and not on the Blesser Himself! Your prayer always misses the mark when you
approach GOD only to take things, without giving yourself to Him. When you don’t offer
yourself as a living sacrifice on the altar of prayer (Romans 12), your answer to prayer
becomes the sacrifice that is burnt up on the altar. That is how you forfeit receiving what you
ask for in the physical realm.

Prayer is the means by which the created and the Creator commune in spirit and in truth. Are
you truthful with GOD in your prayers? In its purest form, prayer becomes a seamless,
unbroken and continuous act of worship as EVERYTHING that you do becomes a form of
prayer. Even your breathing, your look, or your silence conveys meaning and communicates
volumes between you and GOD, as deep calls unto deep! That is why in Psalms 25:15 it says
Mine eyes are ever towards the LORD; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net…Here the
Psalmists was experiencing some serious problem that required GODs immediate attention,
but because he was in tune with GOD at a deeper level, his prayer was not verbal. He only
looked at GOD and his eyes did the praying. In Psalm 32:8 the LORD says I will instruct thee
and teach thee in the way thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Here we see the
LORD communicating with the Psalmist with His eyes. Just by looking into GOD’s eyes the
Psalmist could read messages of what GOD wanted him to do and how, without any words
spoken! When you look at Jesus Christ’s eyes in the spirit, how do you read them? Can you
even see the Eyes of the Holy Spirit as you pray? You might be complaining of unanswered

WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 4 of 20

prayers, and yet GOD’s response is in His very Eyes. Just take a look at them! That my friend,
is the height of prayer.

Therefore, when the prayer corridor turns into a one-way street; and if the spiritual highway
between Heaven and Earth develops some potholes, the one praying experiences a drought
of answers to prayer! Believe me, when showers of blessings evaporate from your prayer life,
the joy and motivation to continue bringing your requests to GOD, usually go up in smoke
too.

Matthew 19:26 (KJV) states that: "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this
is impossible; but with God all things are possible." IF GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, IT FOLLOWS
THAT HE IS WELL CAPABLE OF ANSWERING ALL YOUR PRAYERS. SO WHY IS IT THAT SOME
OF YOUR PRAYERS ATTRACT IMMEDIATE RESPONSE, WHILST OTHERS ARE LEFT OUT IN THE
COLD?

Many people think that prayer is some kind of magic wand that you verbally point in GOD'S
direction and hey presto, answers to prayer suddenly appear! No, it's not! Experience has
demonstrated time and again that not ALL prayers are candidates for answers! How then do
we pray prayers that are guaranteed to be answered all the time?

Fortunately, for you and me, the Bible clearly spells out the vital ingredients necessary for
uttering prayers that guarantee an immediate, positive response from the Most High.
Especially at this when we need some answers regarding the corona virus.

The FOUR GOLDEN REQUIREMENTS for prayers that shake the Hand of GOD, kiss the Most
High’s Ear, and bring answers tumbling down from Heaven's Throne Room of Treasures are
found in James chapter 4, verses 1 to 8, and these are:

(1) RIGHT Prayer Environment,

(2) RIGHT Prayer Request,
(3) RIGHT Asking, &
(4) RIGHT Prayer Bearer.

I call them the 4 RIGHTS TO ANSWERED PRAYER! Let us look at each one of them in that
order.

WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 5 of 20

 Chapter …. FIRST RIGHT TO ANSWERED PRAYER!

1. RIGHT PRAYER ENVIRONMENT

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR PRAYER ANSWERED WHEN ENVIRONMENT IS RIGHT

WHICH KIND OF ENVIRONMENT FAVOURS ANSWERS TO PRAYERS?

James 4:1 (KJV)

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your
lusts that war in your members?

All living things require a suitable womb, incubator, or container in order to sustain life. In the
same way, prayer REQUIRES a certain kind of enabling environment in order to thrive. Strife,
disunity and disagreement contaminate the prayer atmosphere, in the same manner that a
civet cat pollutes air with the suffocating pungent product of its posterior! The words that
you utter in prayer can only survive and become flesh (come to pass) if PEACE, i.e. love &
unity is present A) within the group of people praying, B) within the praying individual's life,
and C) between God and the one(s) praying!

Prayer is guaranteed an answer if there's PEACE, LOVE, AGREEMENT, & UNITY:

A) UNITY AMONG THOSE PRAYING

Matthew 18:18-20 (KJV)

"18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that
they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them."

Much corporate or group praying basically yields little or no results due to an atmosphere of
disunity within the group of those praying. Being in the same room, church, or prayer
mountain does not necessarily mean united effort! Some people may even shout convincing
choruses of “AMEN” during group prayers, but once they have finished praying they start to
speak words of doubt and vindictiveness such as: “Do you think our prayer will make a
difference in that situation?” “Did you hear the lousy prayer points which sister X was
praying? And brother W’s silly-sounding tongues?” “I really hate the way our Pastor pushes
us to pray”, etc. Such comments betray an environment that suffocates the potency out of
corporate prayers. Indeed, more than two will be gathered but the LORD will definitely not
be among them! For instance, during certain all-night prayer meetings, a quarter of the
prayer “warriors” will be half-asleep, and 50% will be snoozing fulltime. The prayer groanings
of the faithful 20% will be soundly interrupted by the nasal “tongues” or snoring of the other

WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 6 of 20

culprits. What a prayer environment! Nowadays in a typical daytime church prayer session, a
third will be praying, another third dozing, and the other third busying themselves on social
media platforms, whilst absent-mindedly crooning: “I receive!” and “Amen!”

That is why our LORD JESUS PRAYED FOR LOVE & PEACE AMONG HIS DISCIPLE AND WITH
GOD!
John 17:21 & 26 (KJV) Our Lord Jesus prayed:
"21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be
one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith
thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

Strife, hate, disagreements, suspicions, hidden agendas, rivalry, and fights are spirits that
divide and confuse the line of prayer. And once divisions are present you hear one praying
“Father heal this child & let her live”, yet the other will be praying “Father take this child &
give her rest from pain”! If you watch a typical deliverance session where a group of
intercessors will be praying for one person, you hear one command “Go now!” …As the
demon prepares to go, another intercessors says “You are going nowhere!”… Then another
asks “Who are you?”… Another commands “Don’t speak, you lying demon!”…Someone
shouts “Fire, all over your body!”…Another says “I cover you with water!”…One shouts “Stand
up!”…Yet another commands “Knee down!”… Someone shouts “Go back to sender!”…Another
says “I destroy you by thunder now!”…etc. ALL THESE CONFLICTING AND OPPOSITE PRAYER
COMMANDS WILL BE UTTERED AT THE SAME TIME!!! The confused demon ends up simply
hiding and faking deliverance, only to resurface later. Prayer environment!

Always pray in unity, after agreeing on prayer points! It is very important that your prayer
points be based on verses from the BIBLE. It becomes very difficult to pray in support of a
prayer point that is unscriptural! That’s the reason why quite often, you find people praying
prayer points that are different from the one leading prayer…or simply remaining quiet.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful,
be courteous – 1 Peter 3:8

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast – Revelation
17:13

B. UNITY OF SELF IN PRAYER

PERSONALLY, you need to provide the right womb for your prayers by being united in spirit,
soul, and body.

That is why 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV) says: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ."

You are made up of 3 components: you are a spirit, living in a body, and having a soul! When
you are at peace with GOD, it means your spirit, soul & body are positively united and of one
mind.
In such a state, your prayers become extremely focused like a laser beam, enabling you to
communicate with JEHOVAH without hindrance or restriction.
WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 7 of 20
But if, as you pray, your soul (mind) is desiring a car or house; your body is busy burning with
lust for someone; and your spirit is full of doubt, your prayer becomes conflicted and
confused. This is the double-minded prayer referred to in James, which won't attract
answers from GOD.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the LORD. A double minded man
is unstable in all his ways. – James 1:7-8

Draw nigh to GOD, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify
your hearts, ye double minded. – James 4:8

C. PEACE BETWEEN GOD AND THE ONE PRAYING

If you're not at peace with GOD, you are not a candidate for guaranteed answers to your
prayers.

James 1:6-8, 14, 16-17 (KJV)

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father
of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Chapter …. SECOND RIGHT TO ANSWERED PRAYER!

2. RIGHT PRAYER REQUEST

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR PRAYER ANSWERED WHEN YOU REQUEST RIGHT
TO HAVE IT, YOU MUST ASK FOR IT
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet
ye have not, because ye ask not.

YOUR prayers are not being answered because you are not asking GOD, but you are praying to
impress people who are listening. Uri kuda kushamisira nekunzi UNOGONA kunamata!

WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 8 of 20

Matthew 6:5 (KJV) "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be
seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."

Therefore, you think you are asking GOD and yet you are only playing to the gallery! You are
playing not praying! Impressing people yet displeasing GOD! Seeking men's applause, instead
of GOD'S "Amen"! If people say amen to your prayers, yet GOD remains silent THEN YOU HAVE
NOT ASKED at all!!!
You have not because you ask not!

Chapter …. THIRD RIGHT TO ANSWERED PRAYER!

3. RIGHT ASKING

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR PRAYER ANSWERED WHEN YOU ASK RIGHT

Right prayer is the most precious commodity on Earth. It attains such high status because it can
make anything happen; it can create anything; and it can stop anything from ever taking place!
Equipped with right prayer, the weakest man can move the highest mountain; and the smallest
woman can bring down the greatest empire. Right prayer is the most powerful weapon of mass
destruction. And yet, is the only means of bringing about lasting peace. The one who has the
right prayer on his or her quivering lips, has the potential to DO ANYTHING TO ANYONE ANYTIME
AND ANYHOW!

TO GET IT, YOU NEED TO ASK RIGHT! There is a right way to pray, and a wrong way to pray.
Praying to bring down results, is not a matter of moving the lips and letting out sound! It is not
just vibrating your vocal chords to create nice sounding audio waves. Prayers that guarantee
answers are part science and part art: they must fulfill the technical laws of physics & biology,
but at the same time vibratie in harmony with the Mind of Christ.

If you ask the wrong question you get the wrong answer. If you pray the wrong prayer, you
receive nothing! Prayer is not about how you flow. It is not about your exquisite accent. Neither
is it about your title, riches, attire, or the car you drive. The right results are born of the right
prayers. It's not about your rich vocabulary. It's all about being fluent in the language of GOD.
Hence, the Bible says when you pray, you need GOD'S Holy Spirit to intercede on your behalf,
carefully translating your feeble prayer into the Higher-level Heavenly dialect of the LORD of
Lords! That is why our Lord Jesus said, I AM THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER!
You cannot bribe your way into Heaven's Prayer Reception Area, because the One who
transports your prayers to the FATHER, is Holy and is the Incorruptible Seed of GOD ALMIGHTY!
There are no short-cuts or in prayer. You simply have to PRAY RIGHT!
So, what does praying right mean? James 4 verse 3 supplies the clue:

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

>>> GOD is not looking for the best prayer, or the cleverest words, or the longest narration, or
the sweetest sounding. No!!!
___Paye pamunenge magutsikana kuti haaa munhu anamata uyu; muchiti haaaa
pakanamatwa kani, Muteereri Mukuru anenge achiti What is this? The problem is that praying
has attained the lofty status of "performance" - it has been turned into an art form, to the
extent that it has become entertainment, instead of sacrament!
>>> Moses was a hopeless stutterer, but his unstructured and halting prayers manufactured
bread and created unending streams of water in the desert - a feat that was both physically
and geologically impossible! He did not ask amiss - he said the right words
One day in a fit of rage, he asked amiss and it cost him his very life. Never pray out of anger
(holy or not). And you wonder why things ain't changing? Anger and bitterness can change the
angle of your prayer and misdirect your prayer shot off-target!
>>> Solomon prayed a very simple prayer born of humility. He chose the right words that made
GOD give him lots more stuff that he had not even asked for! My brother do not take a bucket
full of prayer requests to GOD ; it's not about the size and length of your list - but about saying
one or a few RIGHT choice words that create a Heavenly password that throws open all the
Vaults of Heaven's blessings.

John 16:23-24, 26-27 (KJV)

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may
be full.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for
you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I
came out from God.
TO RECEIVE FROM GOD, YOU DON'T ASK ANYHOW.... IN THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE LORD JESUS
TEACHES US HOW TO ASK PROPERLY. By APPROACHING GOD IN Jesus NAME! YOU A NOT
RECEIVING BECAUSE YOU ARE ASKING IN YOUR OWN NAME (BASED ON YOUR CV - YOUR
GOODNESS, WORKS, EFFORT & EARTHLY STATUS like Hezekiah in 2Chron 18). That was before
the CROSS. After the CROSS, you cannot speak to the Father in your own voice or address Him
on your own merit. YOU CAN ONLY BOLDLY APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE WITH THE
AUTHORITY OF THE ONE WHO MADE THAT GRACE POSSIBLE - JESUS CHRIST! Asking in the Name
of Jesus means DROPING HIS NAME in your request. It means you are saying to the Father I
don't deserve this but I qualify for it because Your Sinless Son Jesus has given me the authority
to receive this from You, because He has prepared and has it ready for my collection. IT'S JESUS
WHO TOLD ME TO COME COLLECT IT FROM YOU! AND HERE IS PROOF, I AM COVERED BY HIS
BLOOD. It's not about you but it's all about Jesus who said in John 15:5 "Without Me you can do
or get NOTHING!"
>>> When the Disciples, Apostles & Prophets in Book of Acts prayed, the place where they
where shook - paiita an earthquake! When the Apostle of today prays, the congregation throws
money on the altar, not their hearts! When today's Prophet prays, the listeners burn with lust
for each other, instead of a hunger for GOD! When you pray Deacon.. when you pray my
sister.. When you pray Where is that breed of prayer WARRIORS who turned the world upside
down through the right prayers.
In other words GOD is not looking for the most eloquent prayer; but for a prayer which is
born of the Holy Spirit Romans 8:26 (KJV) "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 10 of 20
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." THAT IS THE KIND OF PRAYER
WHICH PULLS HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH; AND MAKES GOD'S WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN!!!

Chapter …. FOURTH RIGHT TO ANSWERED PRAYER!

4. RIGHT PRAYER BEARER

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR PRAYER ANSWERED WHEN THE RIGHT PERSON ASKS

The Right Prayer in the hands of two different people, can yield two extremely opposite results!
The secret of prayer that guarantees answers also lies in the quality of the one praying - that is,
the Bearer of the Prayer! Since Right Prayer is the most precious of all commodities, it cannot
be entrusted to an unworthy handler. Thus, right prayer must not be handled anyhow, or by
just anybody. Right prayer is serious business, because not everyone is qualified to take
requests to the GREAT I AM! Usangotume munhu wese wese neprayer kuna Baba.
The Bearer of the Prayer burden must be worthy of carrying it to the LORD!

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity
with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace
unto the humble.
>>> There is PRAYER, then there is the PRAY-ER! Different situations require the right person -
the ONE APPOINTED to break down that particular gate, the one with the ONLY key open that
opens THAT PARTICULAR DOOR OF BREAKTHROUGH! Our problem is we are choosing the wrong
persons to stand in the gap for us or the nation or particular situation. The wrong people are
assembling handpicked people to pray, vachisiya leaving out the one's whom GOD has
appointed for the sacred task. Prayer is not an exam which must be attended to by those with
doctorates or vakaenda ku Bible School. Elijah never knew the door of a University or Bible
College, but when he prayed - when Elijah prayed oh my oh my.. the rains stopped and started.
He used his prayer like a hand that opened and closed the water taps of Heaven at will. Ko Iwe,
what does your prayer open or close?
Spiritual adultery - the mixing of allegiance to JEHOVAH and heathen gods or idolatry
contaminates THE PRAY-ER, rendering him/her powerless to receive from the Most High.
2 Samuel 18:19-22 (KJV)
19 Then said AHIMAAZ THE SON OF ZADOK, LET ME NOW RUN, and bear the king tidings, how
that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
20 And Joab said unto him, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR tidings THIS DAY, but thou shalt bear
tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
21 Then said JOAB TO CUSHI, GO TELL THE KING what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed
himself unto Joab, and ran.
WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED by P Danisile Chivaura +263772472814… 11 of 20
22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray
thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, SEEING THAT
THOU HAST NO TIDINGS READY?

In what spiritual condition are taking prayers to the FATHER? Who are we assigning to take our
requests to THE KING OF KINGS? Our prayers are not being answered and situations remain the
same because the wrong persons are leading or doing the praying. WHEN the RIGHT ONE , the
CHOSEN one one PRAYS - he only needs to say a few words to open up Heaven's WOMB to
release the answer to prayer. Oftentimes he/SHE only needs to cough or groan and the prayer
child is birthed just like that! SOMETIMES THEY ONLY NEED TO STAND BEFORE GOD IN DEEP
SILENCE... And GOD ALMIGHTY will read their pure & sincere heart BECAUSE HE LOOKS AT THE
HEART!
1 Samuel 16:6-7 (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, "Surely the
LORD'S anointed is before him."
7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his
stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh
on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
Now what does God read from, or see in your heart when you stand before Him? Whilst you are
busy gushing out choice words molded in the most eloquent vocabulary, JESUS WILL BE BUSY
DECODING YOUR HEART and dispensing zvakakufanira what you REALLY TRULLY deserve!
2 Corinthians 2:14-17 (KJV)
14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh
manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that
perish:
16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto
life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God,
in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
YOU MUST HAVE A CERTAIN SPIRITUAL SMELL IN ORDER TO ATTRACT GOD'S ATTENTION... THERE
ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH GOD THAT THEY END UP SMELLING LIKE
HIM. And when they raise their thoughts or voices in asking prayer, THEIR DIVINE GODLY AROMA
DRIFTS HEAVEN-WARD & AS SOON AS IT TOUCHES HIS DIVINE NOSTRILS, they grab His attention
BECAUSE FATHER GOD WILL BE SMELLING HIMSELF IN THEIR PRAYERS. GOD ASSIGNS THE GREAT
PRIVILAGE OF ANSWERED PRAYER TO PERSONs WHO SMELL LIKE HIS DON JESUS - THE ONES
WHO HAVE THE AROMA OF CHRIST!!! Like attracts like!
>>> Moses was told to pray for his siblings
>>> Job was chosen to pray for his friends
>>> The Disciples had to pray for Peter
>>> Peter was the One to pray for Tabitha
>>> And Jesus was destined to pray for Lazarus
Prayer is a calling. It's a destiny. Do you even know what you are destined to pray for? What
GOD wants you to pray for? THERE ARE CERTAIN PRAYER REQUESTS AND INVITATIONS YOU
MUST DECLINE - USANGO MHANYIRE KWESE-KWESE OR KUBVUMA ZVESE KUKAMBIRA. Who has
GOD sent to pray for your situation? Do not make your own choice do not choose whom you
think is the one; let GOD direct you to the RIGHT ONE TO PRAY

 When GOD TELLS YOU TO PRAY, DON'T TURN OVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SOMEONE ELSE!
Many of you are over-delegating prayers to pastors, prophets, Intercessors, etcb instead of
opening their own mouths to pray. That is why there is so much abuse in Ministries: delegating
what you should do yourself! Ndosaka vanhu vari kunyeperwa muma kereke uku.. Usajairire
kuti "Monotinamatirawo" pese-pese! King Solomon realised that he could not delegate prayer
for his nation... thus even though he was not a priest or prophet, he led prayers that ushered
God's blessings, peace and prosperity in the nation! Faced with a crisis, the King of Ninevah
climbed down from his throne and hit the floor; he discarded his royal robes in favour of
sackcloth; and fasted instead of feasting. The nation responded in similar fashion. And GOD,
answered the prayer in a most spectacular way! EVEN AS A LEADER, YOU MUST OPEN YOUR
OWN MOUTH AND LEAD PRAYERS for your marriage, family, church, team, school, department,
organization, community, nation, or continent!

SO, WHAT MUST WE DO?

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify
your hearts, ye double minded.

Chapter …. MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION IN YOUR LIFE!

IN CONCLUSION, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR PRAYER ANSWERED WHEN ALL FOUR OF
THESE RIGHT PRAYER INGREDIENTS FORM PART OF YOUR PRAYER AMOURY!

So, if you want guaranteed positive responses to your prayers, these 4 RIGHTS TO ANSWERED
PRAYERS must never lack in your prayer diet and prayer offering. They will make you stand
your ground in any Court of Heaven:

1. Create the right prayer environment

2. Present the right prayer requests with clarity
3. Ask right
4. Assign the prayer task to the right person (including yourself)

BLESSED PRAYING – MAY YOUR PRAYERS RECEIVE ANSWERS ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL FOR
YOUR LIFE ON THIS EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION IN YOUR LIFE

 Death is not the end of life! When you die, you only leave this Earth but continue to live
forever, EITHER, with GOD in a new glorious Heaven & Earth…OR with the Devil & his demons
in a burning
Hell.
All people are born sinners, separated from GOD the Father. Because He loves you so
much, GOD sent His Son JESUS CHRIST to this Earth 2,000 years ago, to die for your sins. He
resurrected from the grave after three days, to give you a new life and relationship with your
Creator as a born-again child of GOD.

THE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST!
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IN SUMMARY

SOME KEY VERSES OF THE BIBLE

In the beginning GOD created the Heavens and the Earth – Genesis 1:1

In the beginning was the WORD; and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD.
The same was in the beginning with GOD.
All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
In Him was LIFE; and the life was the LIGHT of men.
And the WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of
the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE AND TRUTH.
For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by JESUS CHRIST. – John 1:1, 2, 3, 4,
14, 17

And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His Name is called The WORD OF GOD.
And He had on Hi vesture and on His thig a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
– Revelations 19:13, 16

So GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD created He him: male and female
created He them.
And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
Earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. – Genesis 1:27, 28

And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the LORD GOD planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had
formed.
And the LORD GOD took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the LORD GOD commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely
eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And the LORD GOD said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help
meet for him,
And the LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his
ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her
unto the man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh. - Genesis 2:7, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24

Now the serpent …said unto the woman, Yea, hath GOD said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of
the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent…the tree which is in the midst of the garden [OF
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL], GOD hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die… your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened…and Adam and His wife hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD GOD…
Therefore the LORD GOD sent [SINFUL ADAM & EVE] forth from the garden of Eden…
So He drove out the man …to keep the way of the tree of life. – Genesis 3:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
23, 24 (ABRIDGED TEXT; FOR THE FULL TEXT OF HOW SIN ENTERED EARTH, READ THE BIBLE)

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of GOD abideth
forever – 1 John 2:16, 17

Wherefore, as by one man [ADAM] sin entered onto the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many died,
much more the grace of GOD, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, JESUS CHRIST, hath
abounded unto many.
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
That as SIN hath reigned unto DEATH, even so might GRACE reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS
unto ETERNAL LIFE by JESUS CHRIST our LORD. – Romans 5:12, 15, 18, 19, 21

For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of GOD – Romans 3:23

For as in ADAM all die, even so in CHRIST shall all be made alive. – 1 Corinthians 15:22

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD. –
Romans 6:23

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of GOD. –
John 3:3

For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth I Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16

…Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. – Acts 2:38

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
GOD hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the LORD shall be saved.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD. – Romans 10:9-10, 13, 17

Jesus saith unto him, I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by Me. – John 14:6

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with
the LORD.
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the
things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the LORD, we persuade men; …
For the love of Christ constraints us; …
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.
And all things are of GOD, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to
us the ministry of reconciliation;
…that GOD was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself…
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ …
For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of GOD in Him. – 2 Corinthians 5:7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the
Son.
If a man love Me, he will keep my Words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost [Holy Spirit], whom the Father will send in My Name,
He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you. – John 14:12, 13, 23, 26

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? – Luke 11:13

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
But if you are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering [patience], gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, and temperance [self –control]: against such there is no law. – Galatians 5:16,
18, 22, 23

And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. - Isaiah 11:2

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
The manifestation of the Spirit (a spiritual gift) is given to EACH of us, so we can help each other
For to one is given by the [Holy] Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge
by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the
same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
For as the body is one, and hath many members [parts]; so it is with Jesus Christ.
For by one Spirit are we ALL baptized into the ONE BODY OF CHRIST! – 1 Corinthians 12:1, 4, 7,
8, 9, 10, 12, 13

And He [JESUS CHRIST] is the Head of the BODY, the CHURCH

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now
hath He reconciled
In the Body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in His sight:
If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the
Gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature…– Colossians 1:18,
21, 22, 23

That the GOD of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His
calling, and what the riches of the Glory of His inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of His Power to us-ward who believe, according to the
working of His Mighty power,
Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His Right Hand in
the Heavenly places,
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:
And hath put all things under His Feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the
CHURCH,
Which is HIS BODY, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. - Ephesians 1:17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22,
23

That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and
things under the Earth;
And that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the GLORY OF GOD THE
FATHER. – Philippians 2:10, 11

But unto every one of us is given GRACE according to the measure of the GIFT OF CHRIST.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the BODY of
CHRIST:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the SON OF GOD, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind
of doctrine; by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even
CHRIST:
From whom the whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of
the BODY unto the edifying of itself in love. - Ephesians 4:7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth
much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept my Father’s
commandments, and abide in His love.
These things I command you, that ye love one another
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
…the servant is not greater than his LORD. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute
you; if they have kept My sayings, they will keep yours also. – John 15:5, 10, 17, 18, 20

Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. – John 14:27

The thief [devil & demons] comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: but I have come that you
might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly. - John 10:10

For we are His workmanship [Masterpiece], created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which GOD
hath before ordained that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10

I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that
my soul knoweth right well. – Psalm 139:14

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice,
because your names are written in Heaven. – Luke 10:19, 20

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His Might.
Put on the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
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.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me, that utterances may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly , to make
known the mystery of the GOSPEL, - Ephesians 6:10-19

And He [Jesus] said unto them [His Disciples], Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to
every creature *[GOSPEL is the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ]*
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. – Mark 16:15, 16, 17, 18

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in
Earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father; and of the
Son; and of the Holy Spirit:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I AM with you
alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. - Matthew 28:18, 19, 20
