Theme Scripture: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” — Matthew 11:12
There are various interpretations of this verse according to scholars however, I will read a perspective I tend to agree with
Holy Violence vs. Bold Face: He distinguishes between human arrogance (“bold face”) and relentless, scripture-backed faith (“bold faith”). “The violent take it by force” implies that believers must actively press into God’s promises instead of being passive spectators. [1, 2]
Contested Inheritance: Oyedepo teaches that the enemy actively contests a believer’s rights. Because the devil doesn’t surrender blessings easily, believers must forcefully defend their territory and rights through prayer, the Word, and faith. [1]
Kingdom Advancement: True violence is also directed outward. It is the drive to aggressively expand God’s Kingdom through relentless evangelism and Kingdom advancement prayers. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Force of Faith: The size of your faith determines your level of inheritance in the Kingdom. It is the spiritual determination to refuse “no” from circumstances and to demand manifestations based on God’s Word
INTRODUCTION: PRAYER CAN BE TAUGHT
Prayer is one of the greatest spiritual privileges given to humanity, yet many believers pray without truly understanding its dynamics. Just because someone opens their mouth to pray does not mean they understand the mechanics of prayer, just like sitting behind a steering wheel does not guarantee that you know how to drive.
There are legal drivers, and there are illegal drivers who have no accreditation. Furthermore, the skill it takes to drive a car around your neighbourhood is completely different from the stamina, focus, and mastery required to drive commercial distances across cities—such as a journey from London to Glasgow. The dynamics are entirely different.
The disciples of Jesus observed the undeniable, earth-shaking results in His life and recognized that His public power was a result of His private devotion. They did not ask Him for a formula for miracles; they made a specific request:
“Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” — Luke 11:1
This single request reveals profound truths:
- Prayer can be taught.
- Prayer must be learned.
- Prayer requires growth, spiritual education, and mastery.
Our theme scripture, Matthew 11:12, introduces us to the spiritual atmosphere required in the school of prayer: “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” This tells us that prayer is not a platform for casual, passive wishing. It is an arena of spiritual militancy, holy determination, and legislative force.
Many believers pray occasionally, emotionally, or out of religious obligation—but not effectively. God desires to bring every single one of us—from our children to our elders—into a place of spiritual mastery where prayer becomes powerful, fruitful, joyful, and completely transformational.
The goal of this teaching is to take away the burden and boredom factor from your spiritual life. Prayer is not a religious tax you pay to sign the register of Christianity; it is a dynamic, forceful partnership with Almighty God to take your destiny by storm.
Expected Outcomes at the End of this Ministration
1. Total Eradication of Spiritual Boredom
The audience will no longer view prayer as an exhausting, legalistic task to “sign the Christian register.” They will leave with a profound paradigm shift, running to the place of prayer with the absolute excitement of drawing down tangible resources from a heavenly vault.
2. Awakening of Unforced, Autonomous Hunger
The desire to maintain a daily altar will be birthed naturally from within. The congregation will be sufficiently enlightened to seek God passionately in their private closets without being driven by fear, crises, or pastoral pressure.
3. Transition from Passivity to Spiritual Militancy
In absolute alignment with Matthew 11:12, the audience will shed every layer of spiritual complacency. They will stop wishing away their challenges and start aggressively taking their breakthroughs, protection, and family destinies by force through systematic warfare prayer.
4. Eradication of “Blind Prayer” (Strategic Wisdom)
The people will understand that prayer is the hand that holds and turns the keys, not a replacement for practical responsibility. They will be equipped to combine intense prayer with character, mental competence, radical diligence, and corresponding strategic actions.
5. Practical Mastery Over the Digital Era
Young adults and elders alike will walk away with a clear blueprint to tackle modern distractions. They will know how to silence algorithms, use technology to accelerate their spiritual growth, and anchor their prayers in targeted legal scriptures rather than empty words.
THE REALITY OF OUR TIMES: UNDERSTANDING THE END-TIME LANDSCAPE
“…but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” — Acts 6:4
We are living in an era defined by profound instability, rapid change, and global uncertainty. We are witnessing the emergence of the digital age at its peak: Artificial Intelligence, hyper-advanced science, and social media dominance. Concurrently, the world is plagued by rumors of wars, economic recessions, dropping living standards, and strange, aggressive diseases like cancer taking out loved ones.
We see deep moral decadence across generations: children turning against parental discipline, couples unjustly oppressing and dishonoring one another, and divorce rates skyrocketing.
These societal pressures are designed by the enemy to cause severe distraction, pulling your eyes away from Jesus and wearing down your faith. We must be like the sons of Issachar, who possessed an acute understanding of the times and knew exactly what Israel ought to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
Make no mistake: we are in the end times. The devil knows his time is short, and he is actively roaming the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, kill, steal, and destroy (Matthew 24:3-14, 1 Peter 5:8). In this heavy atmosphere, human information can overwhelm you, causing your love for God to grow cold.
But scripture provides absolute comfort. God never promised a life devoid of tribulation; He promised victory amid it:
- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
- “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” — Psalm 34:19
How do we enforce this peace and overcome the tribulations of this world? We do not do it by folding our arms, wishing away our problems, or assuming the devil will pass us by because we mind our own business. We must take it by spiritual force. We must flog it out through the ministry of the Word and prayer. We must deliberately give our undivided attention to spiritual legislation.
Additional Supporting Scriptures
- Luke 18:1: Men always ought to pray
- James 5:13-16: To be fervent means having or displaying a passionate, intense, and deeply sincere feeling or enthusiasm. Completely devoted, wholehearted, and steadfast in their beliefs. Effectual means energy/action, to produce intended result. The prayer is effective to the degree to which it captures the will of God.
- James 4-7:8: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.
- James 4:1-3: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Note: You cannot have, if you have not received and you cannot receive if you do not ask. Having is the manifestation of you have received determined what you have been given either from God or otherwise. 2 Peter 1:3 NKJV.
- James 4:6 & 10: But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. Prayer is one of the demonstrations of Humility.
- Matt 7:7-9: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
- James 1-8, 16- 17: God can be trusted. He is reliable, consistent and never changes.
- Romans 8:32: He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
- James 5:7-11: Be Patient
WHAT IS PRAYER?
To build a consistent prayer life, you must understand what prayer is from a holistic, biblical perspective.
1. Communication with God
In its simplest form, prayer is a legal platform that allows a human being to communicate with the Creator of the universe. It is the verbalization of our thoughts, the presentation of our needs, the sharing of our deep vulnerabilities, and the expression of our heart’s desires to God.
2. Fellowship and Intimacy
Prayer is not a spiritual vending machine where you insert a request and expect a miracle. It is a place of relationship, love, and alignment. It is where our spirits commune with His Spirit.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
3. Hearing and Receiving from God
True prayer is a two-way transaction. It is not a monologue; it is a dialogue. God is a Spirit, yet He speaks accurately to men. Prayer is the posture where we quiet the noise of the flesh to hear His voice, receive His instructions, and obtain His counsel.
“Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” — Jeremiah 33:3
WHY MUST WE PRAY? (THE FOUNDATIONAL REVELATION)
Why does an all-knowing, sovereign God require an earthly man to pray before He intervenes?
The foundation of prayer is built upon a spiritual law established at creation.
A. The Sovereign Gift of the Human Will
In Genesis 1:26, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…” In creating man, God endowed him with an incredible, inviolable asset: the power of choice (the human will).
Because God is righteous, He respects the boundaries of the will He granted to humanity. He designed the earth to operate under human stewardship. Therefore, it is a spiritual legality that God will not superimpose His will upon your life or your environment without your explicit invitation.
B. Prayer Gives God Legal Access
Prayer is the act of using your free will to grant the Holy Spirit legal access into your personal affairs, your family, your career, and your nation. If you remain silent, heaven assumes you are independent and can handle your life using your own strength.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7
C. Prayer is the Ultimate Expression of Humility
When you live a prayerless life, you are silently announcing to the spirit realm that you do not need the wisdom, power, or assistance of heaven. Prayerlessness is hidden pride. Prayerfulness is an open declaration of total dependence on God.
D. The Spiritual Violence of Demand
Many believers suffer severely, not because God lacks the power to save them, but because they have never formally demanded their deliverance in the place of prayer. In line with Matthew 11:12, there are dimensions of your inheritance that will never be dropped on your lap gently; they must be laid hold of with holy, spiritual violence.
“…yet you have not, because you ask not.” — James 4:2
PRAYER IS NOT THE ONLY KEY: FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD
We must correct a dangerous, unbalanced theological error within the Body of Christ: Prayer is not the answer to everything, but prayer must be involved in everything.
The Key Analogy
Prayer is not the only key to the doors of life; rather, prayer is the HAND that holds the keys of the Kingdom, executing the spiritual force required to turn them.
If you need financial breakthrough, the key required is the law of value, productivity, and seedtime and harvest (Genesis 8:22). If you need a stable home, the key required is character, honor, and emotional intelligence. When you pray, the hand of prayer forcefully grasps these scriptural keys from the realm of the spirit, giving you the divine wisdom, discipline, and favor to implement them on earth.
Corresponding Steps (Good Works)
You cannot substitute prayer for character, competence, or strategic action. Matthew 11:12 teaches us to take things by force, but that force includes the violent implementation of scriptural laws in your daily actions!
- “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” — James 2:17
You cannot pray violently for an academic distinction while refusing to study. You cannot pray for a global business while treating your customers with hostility. No farmer goes to an altar to pray for a harvest without first putting a seed into the ground. Prayer empowers your actions; it does not replace them. Prayer without corresponding steps produces absolute religious frustration.
THE FIVE MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS OF PRAYER
Scripture outlines five fundamental assignments that prayer accomplishes in and through the believer:
1. Spiritual Growth and Transformation
The primary purpose of prayer is not to change your circumstances, but to change you.
- “As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and gleaming.” — Luke 9:29
Prayer causes a spiritual metamorphosis. It breaks down the carnal, weak, compromised version of you and brings forth the refined, resilient, and spiritually sensitive version. It takes a level of spiritual violence to break free from the gravitational pull of old habits, fleshly desires, and demonic patterns.
2. Requests and Divine Supply
Prayer is the legal ledger where we present our specific personal needs before a loving Father who cares about our total well-being.
- “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” — Philippians 4:6
3. Decrees and Spiritual Establishment
Believers operate as king-priests on the earth. Prayer is the platform from which we issue legislative decrees to alter physical realities. We enforce the reality of Matthew 11:12 by speaking the word with authority and commanding situations to align.
- “You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.” — Job 22:28
4. Warfare and Enforcing Deliverance
The victory over the enemy was completely won by Jesus Christ on the cross. However, demonic forces are stubborn squatters who ignore this reality until forced to comply. This is the absolute definition of taking the Kingdom by force! Warfare prayer uses the authority of the Name of Jesus, the power of the blood, and the sword of the Word to aggressively break generational patterns, strongholds, and demonic oppression.
- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4
5. Guidance and Direction (The Prayer of Inquiry)
Many destinies are shattered not by open sin, but by the weight of blind assumptions. The prayer of inquiry preserves the believer from costly mid-life crises and directional failures.
- When the Amalekites raided David’s camp, David did not just run out in anger. 1 Samuel 30:8 states: “So David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?’ And He answered him, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’”

| 8. Prophetic Declaration | Job 22:28; Ezekiel 37:4 | Functioning as an oracle of God to boldly speak creative, stabilizing words over chaotic or dead life situations. | Ezekiel, standing in the middle of a valley of dry bones and crying out, “O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!” |
BIBLE STORIES OF ENCOUNTERS AND MIRACULOUS TRANSFORMATION
Every miracle in scripture is proof that the violent take their breakthroughs by force through prayer.
Jacob: Overturning a Death Sentence Through Spiritual Agonizing (Genesis 32)
Jacob was facing imminent destruction. His brother Esau was marching toward him with 400 armed men to avenge a decades-old grudge. Jacob knew that clever strategies, bribes, and human diplomacy would not save his life. He isolated himself by the river Jabbok and engaged in a night-long, violent wrestling match with an Angel of God.
When the morning broke, the Angel told him to let go, but Jacob cried out with holy violence: “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” That intense, relentless demand broke his old identity. His name was changed from Jacob (The Deceiver) to Israel (A Prince with God). The next morning, Esau’s murderous heart was miraculously melted into tears of love. Jacob took his protection by force.
Hannah: Turning Barrenness into Fruitfulness (1 Samuel 1)
Hannah was trapped in a toxic domestic cycle, mocked bitterly year after year by her rival, Peninnah, because her womb was closed. Hannah did not sit down to indulge in self-pity or endless gossip. She went directly to the tabernacle at Shiloh. She poured out her soul in fervent, desperate intercession, praying from her heart with such intense, silent energy that the High Priest Eli mistook her for a drunk woman.
She violently refused to leave Shiloh the same way she came. Her desperate prayer broke a years-long generational siege of barrenness. God remembered her, her countenance was transformed, and she gave birth to Samuel—the prophet who redefined the nation of Israel.
Hezekiah: Forcing Death to Retract Its Verdict (Isaiah 38)
King Hezekiah was sick unto death, and God sent the top prophet of the land, Isaiah, with a final, sovereign verdict: “Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.” This was a word directly from God.
But Hezekiah understood that even a negative prophetic script can be legally appealed in the courtroom of prayer if a man knows how to violently present his strong reasons. He turned his face to the wall and cried out to God with deep weeping. Before Isaiah could even cross the middle court of the palace, God stopped him and said, “Go back. Tell him I have heard his prayer, seen his tears, and added fifteen years to his life.” Forceful prayer can rewrite an active script of death.
Paul and Silas: Shaking Foundational Prison Walls (Acts 16:25-26)
Bound in chains, severely beaten, and cast into the deepest, darkest inner cell of a maximum-security prison, Paul and Silas faced an absolute crisis. They did not spend the night questioning God or weeping in despair. At midnight, they chose to initiate a spiritual assault. They prayed and sang praises to God.
As they violently activated the atmosphere of heaven, a violent earthquake tore through the foundations of the prison. Every single door flew open, and every prisoner’s chains were instantly shattered. They took their liberty by force at midnight.
The People of Israel Exodus from Slavery: Exodus 2:23-3:22
HOW PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE
God is a Father, not a tyrant. He answers prayers according to defined spiritual protocols:
- According to His Will: True prayer aligns with the thoughts and purposes of God (1 John 5:14).
- Supernatural Intervention: Instant healing from sickness, instant help in an exam hall, instant provision without asking anyone. Heb 4:16
- Released Graces that attract physical Resources: God can pure out His graces to help someone e.g wisdom, favour, giftings etc 2 Cor 9:8, Heb 4:16
- Through Unwavering Faith: Faith is the currency that validates spiritual transactions (Hebrews 11:6).
- Through Radical Obedience: Active compliance with God’s instructions opens the floodgates (Isaiah 1:19, Deut 28:1).
- Through Persistent Stamina: Staying in the place of prayer, refusing to back down until the answer manifests physically (Luke 18:1).
- Through Righteous Living: Clean hands and a pure heart give your words legislative weight in the spirit realm (Psalm 24:1-5, James 5:16).
- Through Radical Forgiveness: Unforgiveness, bitterness, and keeping offenses block the answer to your prayers (Mark 11:25).
- Through High-Level Thanksgiving: Presenting your petitions inside a container of deep appreciation (Philippians 4:6).
HINDRANCES TO EFFECTIVE PRAYER
If your prayer life is producing zero results, evaluate these critical blockages:
- Sin & Secret Iniquity: “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” — Psalm 66:18
- Unbelief & Double-Mindedness: James warns that a doubting, passive man will receive absolutely nothing from the Lord (James 1:6-7).
- Pride & Self-Sufficiency: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
- Unforgiveness & Bitterness: Clinging to grudges short-circuits your spiritual authority.
- Wrong Motives: Praying purely out of lust, vanity, and a desire to show off or compete with others (James 4:3).
- Passivity & Lack of Focus: Treating prayer like a casual option instead of a violent spiritual necessity.
- Alternative Syndrome: Some people may not necessarily see a reason to place their faith in Jesus because they simply have other options/choices/solution. Exercising faith to some people seems like a waste of time. They have not learnt and understood difference between faith and works and how both must be combined to see instant and desired outcome/result.
JESUS, OUR GREATEST EXAMPLE OF PRAYER
If anyone had an excuse not to pray, it was Jesus Christ. He was the Word made flesh. Yet, His life was completely anchored on an uncompromising, high-intensity prayer routine:
- Early Mornings: “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” — Mark 1:35
- All-Night Encounters: He would spend the entire night on a mountain praying before choosing His disciples (Luke 6:12).
- In the Garden of Gethsemane: He engaged in such violent, agonizing intercession to align His human will with the divine plan that His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the ground (Luke 22:44).
The Ultimate Logic: If the sinless Son of God needed to pray with such fervency and force to maintain His victory on earth, how dare you to think we can survive this complex world with a casual, passive prayer life?
PRAYER IN THE AGE OF KNOWLEDGE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
We live in an information-heavy, hyper-stimulated, and highly distracted generation. People today are constantly bombarded by immediate data updates. We have tools like Artificial Intelligence that can write essays, solve equations, design business strategies, and automate tasks in seconds.
But you must understand this fundamental truth: Information is not revelation, and automation is not anointing. Passivity will destroy this generation if we do not wake up.
┌──────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐
WHAT AI CAN PROVIDE WHAT ONLY GOD CAN PROVIDE

AI can optimize your business spreadsheet, but it cannot give you the supernatural discernment to know which partner is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
AI can structure a beautiful speech, but it cannot break a generational curse of premature death over your family line. Because the system of this world is fast paced, your prayer life must be intensely focused. We must take our spiritual territories by force.
Practical Strategies for Maintaining a Burning Altar in a Digital Era
- Create Uncompromising Prayer Schedules: Do not leave prayer to chance or convenience. Treat your prayer time like an executive board meeting. Set an alarm, show up, and lock the door.
- Ruthlessly Reduce Digital Noise: Too much social media scrolling and constant notification checks cause mental fragmentation and weaken your spiritual sensitivity. You must violently separate yourself from your phone to preserve your focus.
- Combine Prayer with Target Scriptures: Never pray empty, blind words. Stop complaining to God. Instead, look up scriptures that cover your situation and present them as a legal argument. Pray the Word.
- Use Technology Wisely as a Spiritual Catalyst: Turn your devices into tools for the Kingdom. Use your phone to set prayer reminders, play deep instrumental worship music to quiet your environment, read digital study Bibles, write down your revelations in digital journals, and listen to anointed sermons.
- Cultivate Short Prayers Throughout Your Day: Prayer is a lifestyle, not just an event. Learn to pray brief, sharp prayers in the Spirit while driving, walking into an interview room, cooking, or sitting at your office desk. Keep the communication line clear.
- Build or Join High-Fire Prayer Communities: Surround yourself with serious, non-compromised believers who provoke your spirit to stretch. Fire catches fire. When the kingdom suffers violence, you need corporate violent faith to push through.
Prayer is not an archaic, outdated religious activity designed to pass the time. Prayer is a dynamic, high-level partnership with Almighty God. It is spiritual legislation. It is alignment, intimacy, power, and transformation.
When you understand the school of prayer, you will no longer look at it as a heavy, boring chore. You will run to the place of prayer with the exact same excitement and joy you have when walking up to an ATM or a bank vault—because you know you are about to draw down real, tangible, reality-altering heavenly resources. The violent take it by force, and the believer who master’s the art of prayer will never, ever walk defeated or alone on this earth.
