Build: Prayer (Niki Onilari)

In this BUILD series message, Niki teaches on prayer — why we pray and how to pray effectively. Prayer, she explains, is two-way communication with God, not a ritual or wish list, but a living partnership with our Father. Drawing from Matthew 6:5–13, Romans 8:26, and James 1:6–8, Niki shows that effective prayer is rooted in humility, faith, and alignment with God’s will.She encourages believers to pray with confidence, guided by the Holy Spirit, knowing that God already knows our needs and desires to work through us. Prayer builds relationship, brings spiritual growth, and releases God’s power into everyday life. Whether asking, declaring, or simply thanking Him, we pray from faith, not fear - trusting that the One who hears us can do “exceedingly, abundantly more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20).
