THE LORD'S PRAYER EXPLAINED

Sermon by BISHOP FRANCIS SARPONG

The Lord's prayer is one of the most powerful prayer every Christian can pray.

When the disciples went to Jesus to ask him to teach them how to pray, Jesus taught them the Lords prayer.
But as a Christian do you know what the Lords prayer fully entails?

Jesus gave the outline for the the Lords prayer which touches on:

Facet one: Worship and Reverence to God
Our father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name

Facet two: Establishment of Gods kingdom on earth
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in Heaven

Facet three: Supply of our daily needs
Give us this day our daily bread

Facet four:A call to forgive our neighbors
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who
Tresspass against us

Facet five:Spiritual protection from the evil one
And lead us not into temptation
But Deliver us from the evil one

Nothing Jesus taught should be taken for granted.
Especially the aspect that deals with the evil one.

Achieving success in life goes with a cost.
There is a cost dimension of everything done on earth.
For success accomplishment,one needs to pay the cost before attaining it.
However, for failure, the cost is paid afterwards.

1. Pay a spiritual cost.
   2. Pay an intellectual cost.
     3. Pay a physical cost.

SPIRITUAL COST
2nd Chronicles 26:5
"He sought God.............and God made him prosperous.
To be able fo pay the spiritual cost, one needs to       pray
           study the word
            pay your tithe
For those who tithe it is said in Malachi 3:10

" Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
