It is clear from scriptures that God delights in blessing His children. He has also promised to answer the prayers of His children for things offered in faith and in accordance with His word. 1 John 5:14-15, “14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” Matt 7:7, “7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
He not only answers our prayer, He is able to do more than we ask or think. Ephesians 3:20, “20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,…”

Outside of righteousness, there are three major non-negotiable conditions for answered prayers. All three must be in place for prayers to be answered all the time. They are:

1. Faith. Mark 11:24, “24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” You must come believing! Heb 11:6. Faith is believing and acting on what God is saying now in regards to your situation.

– Faith is Your God-given ability to change your circumstances (change your world)
– Faith is Your God-given ability to change your world.
– Faith is Your God-given ability To change the world around you for Christ.
– Faith is The only way you can deal with God successfully
– Faith is The expression of your God-nature.
– Faith is The only way to release God’s power (in your favour) into your situation
– Faith is your instrument of dominion and authority over the forces of darkness
– It determines the quality of your relationship with God.
– It determines the quality of your life in the kingdom.
– It is the currency of the kingdom of God.
– Faith is the only way by which you obtain your heart’s desire from God.
– Faith is depending on God’s ability rather than your ability.
– Faith is taking off all limits.

It is coming in the name of Jesus, just as Jacob came in the name of Esau. The blessings belong to Jesus and we are His body. Just as Jacob received the blessing of the first born through Esau’s name, we can receive what is promised in the name of the one to which it was promised- Jesus. It is like coming with a cheque signed by Jesus. You come in the name of Jesus by presenting your request based on the promise of God the Father to the Son (and hence to you) as contained in the Bible. You come to receive what is promised and in his name or through His name.

2. Forgiveness. Mark 11:25, “25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Unforgiveness is one of the greatest blockers of prayers. You must sow mercy if you hope to reap mercy.

3. Fruitfulness. John 15:16, “16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” This is the most overlooked command in the church. God gives blank cheques to the SOUL-WINNER. Your contribution to the increase of the church determines how much attention heaven pays to your prayer and needs.

But there is only one way to receive financial breakthrough: seed, seed and seed! If you need money, sow and claim your harvest through prayer and confession. You can call forth your hundredfold return by faith.
