LONGWOOD, FL-As the sole Creator of all things, God's supremacy is incontestable, and all other powers are subject to Him. Prayer is the only way to tap into this awesome power, and fortunately God has laid down for us a model of how to approach Him in prayer. Following the prayer points outlined by Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:9-13, author Ifeanyi Chris Agagbor uses Scripture to expound on the magnificent richness and completeness of this most awesome prayer. The Disciples' Prayer (paperback, 978-1-60477-312-5), unlike most other books, is about what to pray for, as supported and illustrated by Scripture. It gives us the key to saying prayers that God honors, and it gives us the key to living a life worth living.
Says Agagbor, "Everyone who professes to be a believer is in agreement with respect to the authenticity of the prayer outline given to us by the Lord. We also believe prayer is the way through which we can tap into the insurmountable power of our God. This book gives us the key to actualize this goal; it is praying in the Word, according to the will of God, and according to the model which our Lord gave to us. It is a must-read for any true believer."
A Bible scholar and teacher, Agagbor was led to write under the unction of the Holy Spirit. He believes that if readers truly meditate upon the prayer points addressed in his book, as he did, they will be entrusted with the keys to the kingdom. "No prayer can be more complete than or as efficacious as that which the Lord gave to us and which the Holy Spirit has expounded upon," the author says.
Ifeanyi Chris Agagbor is a Nigerian-born U.S. citizen. He has two sons, Oluchi and Fumnanya, and currently lives in Riverdale, Maryland.
