In Part 23, we discussed the "self-acclaimed" beloved of Christ's prayer life and what we, as men, can model our prayer life after.

Part 22 invited us to learn from King Jehoshaphat's life in mentoring others and humility at the place of prayer.

In Part 21 of the Praying Men series, we explore the story of blind Bartimaeus and what it teaches us about focused prayer.

In Part 20 of the Praying Men series, we delve into Prophet Ezekiel's prayer life and a call for us as men to learn to be still in prayer and intercession.

In this episode, we drew lessons from the sons of Zadebee, two disciples of Jesus, and their approach to prayer. They were referred to as sons of thunder because of their militant approach to prayers. In the episode we discussed, whether such an approach is what is allowed or if we are invited to a different approach in prayer.

In the sixteenth part of the conversation on the praying men, we discussed Ezra and how he engaged in prayer in supporting the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and how we as men can learn from it. Most especially, praying for fundamental transformation.

Bartholomew was one of Jesus's disciples who passed security clearance even before accepting the call. Jesus recognizes Bartholomew's sincerity and calls him "an Israelite in whom there is no deceit," highlighting his honesty and faith. In this episode, we explored praying for a sincere heart with no deceit.

Our choices often reveal our hearts. This was certainly the case for Abram's nephew, Lot. Just like our prayers review our heart. From Lot's life, we are challenged to take the prayers of enquiry seriously.

The story of the Rich Fool, documented in Luke 12, reveals something about the importance of our hearts during prayers.

The man does not praise God for the abundance but rather focuses on his own comfort and security based on material gain, ignoring his spiritual need and God's potential demand for his life. 

In today's episode, the life of prayer of a man after God's own heart, David, was reviewed. He taught more about prayer and what it means: Praise, Repent, Ask, and yield (PRAY). 

The "Prayer of David" refers to several Psalms attributed to King David, primarily Psalms 17, 51, 86, and 118. These Psalms are characterized by David's sincere expressions of humility, repentance, praise, and supplication to God. They reflect various aspects of David's life, including his struggles, sins, and devotion to God. 

David's prayers offer valuable insights into our human experience, including our struggles, sins, joys, and dependence on God. They demonstrate the power of prayer, repentance, and the unwavering trust in God's mercy and grace. 

In this episode, we reviewed Stephen. Stephen is a prominent figure in the early Christian church, traditionally recognized as the first Christian martyr. He was a deacon in Jerusalem and a man "full of God's grace and power." He is known for his powerful preaching and miraculous deeds, which drew the ire of Jewish authorities. They stoned him to death. Stephen's most potent prayer invites us to pray for forgiveness, not vengeance. Acts 7:60 "Then he fell on his knees and cried out, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

In part 10 of the Praying Men's series, we dwell on Job to learn from him the importance of intercessory prayers, yielding at the place of worship, and praising. And no matter the condition or situation, pray from the place of fear or curse our existence or present situation.

In today's episode on the Praying Men series, we dwell on the most decorated Apostle of Jesus Christ, who joined the fold post-resurrection. We said that through our prayer, our belief and identity are revealed. Would you be identified as an intercessor, a worshiper, or a man who sets prayer as the basis of their life if your prayer is listened to?

From the life of Jacob, we learned the danger of waiting only until we are in crisis before praying. Doing this steals away opportunities from us to grow deeper with the Lord. We saw the importance of paying attention to the place of prayers to see God's acts and understand his ways. So as not to join and pursue what will perish. And finally, we must learn to forgive people at the place of prayer and not end up cursing our loved ones and others like Jacob did at the end of his life.

Peter, known as the rock upon whom the church was built, teaches us how to approach prayer with humility while becoming powerful in our prayer life. He initially relied heavily on his own abilities and expertise. However, when he found himself sinking, he cried out to God for help. Peter, who later became a leader in the church, often fell asleep during prayer, but once he realized that it is only through the Holy Spirit that we can truly pray, he transformed into a devoted man of prayer. He began to pray regularly, even going to the temple during designated prayer hours, praying for the sick, and performing miracles through prayer. As you listen to this episode, may your heart be encouraged and strengthened.

One of the famous prayers in. the bible is the prayer of Jabez. But for this episode, we are not reflecting on the prayer's content but on the fact that this man knew that God could change his situation and refused to settle for less.

In this episode of the Praying Men series. We discussed the prayer John the Baptist taught his disciples, which inspired Jesus's disciples to ask Christ to teach them. We concluded by taking lessons for men to build a lifestyle of prayer.

It is still the series Praying Men. Today, we covered the life of Isaac, the son of promise to Father Abraham. We saw that he had a pattern of going to pray in the afternoon, understood prayer as warfare, and changed his wife's barrenness. Like Cornelius, Isaac used prayer to guide him in making decisions; for Isaac, it was knowing where the Lord would have him live.

In part 3 of the Praying Men series, we reflected on the military officer Cornelius. His prayer life showered us the power of prayer and why it is essential to give to the poor, but not without praying. We also learned from him how, through prayer, we, as men, can get direction for our lives and set off generational blessings.

In part 2 of the Praying Men series, we explored the prayer life of Father Abraham and the lessons for us as men. He taught us prayers of worship/praise, personal request prayers, intercessory prayers, and prayers of blessings. Listen and Go be a praying man.
