India is one of the great developing nations of the world both economically and politically. With a huge population of 1.17 billion, India accounts one sixth of the total world's population. With the impact of globalization, India is able to stand in level with the developing nations of the world. Many multinational companies started marching into India and set up their branches. Mammoth job opportunities originated as a result of this. However, more than 45% of the people live below poverty unable to fulfill their basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing. As adding fuel to the fire, more than 3 million people squirm under the pain of deadly killer diseases such as AIDS. Most people are under the clutches of sin, unable to come out in spite of their desire. As a dog returns to his vomit so a fool repeats his folly. Everywhere anyone could feel the air of sin, starting from adultery and fornication to killing of innocent peoples. Each day everyone could witness so many results of sin through Medias and various other sources. Christian missionaries and workers are persecuted all throughout India everyday without reasons.
People of these days sin without worry as of drinking milk; they hire henchmen to kill innocent peoples for trivial things. They are unmindful of things they do and sin regularly. You may ponder what you may do for these teething troubles. But you can do something powerful with much ease. It doesn't cost you money or make you toil, it just needs your precious time to be spent by kneeling down and praying to Jesus the omnipotent God to get answer for these problems. "We receive from Him (Jesus) anything we ask" I John3:22
Prayer is a powerful tool that needs less effort but bring great results, nothing can stand beyond the reach of a powerful and fervent prayer. Prayers are highly essential in this situation and Jesus is always ready to heed ears to your prayers and answer. Earnest prayers from the depths of our heart can deliver people from the clutches of sin, heal people from deadly diseases and can enormously bless to prosper their life. Prayer is not an uphill task; it's just speaking with God. Prayer can be generally categorized into four types: (1) A prayer for thanks giving, (2) A prayer with petition, (3) Prevailing prayer, (4)Prayer for others
(1)You must be thankful for all the things the Lord has offered including food, shelter and clothing. It is necessary to give thanks in every circumstance as Job gave, whether the situation is good or bad. God much delights with a thankful heart and He was much pleased when one healed leper out of the 10 healed lepers came to show his gratitude toward him. "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever". Psalm 136:1 (NKJV)
(2)You give petition to God daily to ask our daily needs including spiritual needs, employment etc. We must be exact in our petitions. The petition must not be greedy but it must be our needy. As a child asks to his father we ask to God in faith.
(3)A fervent prayer can heal mind or deadly sickness, until you get a solution
(4)A selfless prayer for the goodness of other is very important. Prayer for the healing of others, to deliver from the bondages of sin is very important aspects. It is also equally important pray for the workers and missionaries of God who are striving around the nation without counting their life.
If someone comes with a need, we will stop him by the door step and sent him back; and this is not the way what God does. Jesus is ready to hear and answer your prayers anytime whatever the problem may be. Many problems are difficult for man to solve but it is easy with God. Bible says "Do not forget the poor and needy when you are rich" also the Bible says "If you ever forget [that]... you will surely be destroyed" (Deuteronomy 8:17-19 NIV). So it is highly essential to stretch hands for the poor's materially and through prayer. According to Bible during the last days Christians will be persecuted in God's sake. As these are last days many Christians in India are tortured vehemently without reasons. Many are burn live and beaten to death.
In this situation of crisis, every Christians should woke up and pray fervently to deliver all the people of this nation from the clutches of sin, heal them from their deadly diseases and bless each Indian in spite of caste, creed and religion. It is also important to pray for labors and missionaries of God who are striving hard to deliver people from bondages of sin and prosper their life.
