The Ministry of Supplication

Book excerpt: The Art of Asking. God asks us to ask him. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face...” Supplication is asking, entreating with humility, and earnestness. God honours such prayer. Hannah’s supplication is a classic biblical model. In this volume, Prof. Zacharias FOMUM, himself a longtime student and teacher in the school of prayer takes us to the next level from prayer and intercession. Using the example of Hannah’s supplication for a child, Prof FOMUM sets forth the spiritual science for supplication in terms that are easy to grasp. Hannah’s story of God answering her supplication with her giving birth to the prophet Samuel is used to illustrate the supplicant as she progresses from reacting to human provocation to seeking the greater goal of God’s eternal purposes. A short, simple bible story is mined for rich lessons on supplication. Study this book and learn how God can be moved to act mightily to supply the needs of a supplicating person or supplicating people.
