The two mandates given to every believer are kingdom advancement prayer and soul winning. Kingdom advancement prayer and soul winning endeavours are not an advice, not admonition, not callings not gifts, they are commandments. “But thou, When you prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy father who is in the secret; and thy father which seeth in the secret shall reward thee openly.” Mat.6:6. Serving God is not only about church activisms, it is your secret engagement that attract open rewards. Kingdom advancement is God’s utmost priority. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth has it is in heaven.” Mat.6:9-10. Therefore, kingdom oriented prayers moved God the most. Prayers like praying for the lost in order to be saved, praying for new converts and new members in order to be established in faith and in church. Praying for the increased of God’s word, etc. “All men ought to pray and not to faint.” Lk.18:1. A prayer house is a power house. “Pray without ceasing.” 1Thes.5:17 Hence, it is prayer forever, as long as you still want open rewards to come your way, you must continue to pray.
Soul winning is not a gift nor a calling. It is a commandment. “Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you, ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit and your fruit should remain:that whatsoever you ask of my father in my name He will give unto you.” Jn.15:16. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camesth forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet unto nations.” Jer. 1:5. You see, God has commanded you to embark on outreaches in order for the lost and the unsaved to saved. By doing this, there will be a redirection of traffic, what others are running after will be running after you. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” Mat.6:33
For your struggle to ceased, what God will tell you to do might look too simple, it might look very stupid but it is the answer to your troubles. Don’t question God, question yourself. He His more faithful than you and I. All you have do to is to obey. “And Simon answering said unto him, Master we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they in closed a great multitude of fishes: and their net break. And they beckoned unto other partners, which were in the other ships, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.” Lk. 5:5-7.
After obedience, the toiling peter business became a partnership business. Supernatural growth in his business took place. The reason why many business are failing is as a result of lack of obedience. Life is ordinary toiling without obedience. Life doesn’t make sense outside obedience to the commandments. “And His mother saith unto his servant, whatsoever He tells you to do, do it.” Jn.2:5. It might look silly and ridiculous. When they needed wine, He told them to bring water. He used the lunch of a lad to feed multitudes. God specializes in creating something out of nothing. Out of nothing, He created the universe. Out of nothing He can make you an amazement among your contemporaries. “But has it is written. Eyes hath not seen nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of men: are things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” 2Cor.2:9.

I’m sorry but as an atheist I don’t pray. It’s simply not something I do as I believe it does not help and is a waste of time. I will donate money to charity to help people, though, so don’t get me wrong.

It is not bad to donate money. But any seed you sow as a donation is a waste. You must picture your seed as a spiritual transaction in order to collect the blessings of God. A prayer house is a power house. Until you loose your voice on the prayer alter you might never be heard in your world. Receive Jesus as your Lord and saviour today and see your live transformed like a dream of the night. God is real and He exist. There is no place for argument for this.”How forcible are right but what does your arguing reprove?” Job.6:25. More about prayer. Your engagement on the prayer alter is the gateway to open rewards. Mat.6:6. And Prayer is a commandment, not an advice, not an admonition. Mat.6:9
