Warfare: Prayer as Battle // The Art of Prayer // Ep. 7 // Jesse Dan-Yusuf

The Christian life is not a playground - it's a battleground. And prayer is how we fight.In Episode 7 of The Art of Prayer, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf takes us into the reality that most of us would rather avoid: we have an enemy, and he doesn't take days off. But here's the good news - we don't fight for victory, we fight from victory. The battle has already been won at the cross. Prayer is how we enforce what Christ has already accomplished.This message will challenge you to stop praying passive prayers and start contending - with Scripture on your lips, the Spirit in your heart, and the armour of God on your back.If you've ever felt spiritually stuck, oppressed, or like something invisible was working against you - this one's for you.Series: The Art of PrayerSpeaker: ‪@jessedanyusuf‬ [https://www.youtube.com/@jessedanyusuf] Church: One City Church, Abuja🔗 Connect with us:🌐 Website: https://onecityabuja.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDlYQzJja0VicjhydWdtTU9lTDA3UXp3TXhmd3xBQ3Jtc0trb0lXWHBFajBOdV9BSE5zb1JIMk5xbTBDRG5QZ1QtQXVVT0xhaFNOYTIxeUVtMzNOXzhTNEMwYkNUYnE1dHVPMXFCSnh0SjVnbDd4WHh1X2diS0YxZVR5dG5tcTVlWGZ3UWM2ZzlVLWF5QWNVc1l3QQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.com%2F&v=RhMBM8vb488]📺 YouTube:    / @onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9s44hBha1Vv34fGTwLSXA]📸 Instagram:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDktSWEwaGo5ZnVvM0VRZUduOXJYU1lNeG1Kd3xBQ3Jtc0tuS3RlMWJyQi1QYmpUN1BEYWF3TDJTSTY2QTdMem9sYU5BQWtxdTQwZFZjVS1TUjZEQU4tV3lVaWJmRmhfVkJBbHZwMF9hR3c2UnBUVmExWjBRZ1VRVl9GU1R4aEZYNHFRanJGT1F0dkNfWnN3NDJPYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=RhMBM8vb488]🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/onecityabuja [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3R3eHN3S1YzMEkzWHZ6NHBxZGJ4YkYzemp1d3xBQ3Jtc0trQkk0WkF6MG5EWDlqTGZnbnJ1MVhFdUkzbjQ1MXFRcUN1SUU2dGJjRDRuOUdQRmtpeTNvQ3NsWkRDdktnZFBBNHBFa0E1Ym1XWDI4RVg0V2JFU3p1QzE2ckY5cXVYMWZCbXZoNlNBbXNOTlFRWlRXaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=RhMBM8vb488]📘 Facebook:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmpvR256aUZaYV80VU1SMkU3UFhxQ2xyRi1yd3xBQ3Jtc0ttWGExRTlIVV9wNlRIVFM0cUhHdHNvUkpkU01QWnB0TWMzVEQxTTk3U01TRlRsQ3NXRnlhNTlja05aSWtQRU1aNGIwYXNERE1JSWlMVEV4dkVHVnhsNE55ZGhtdE01QVFLR1pWTGRvWkY5VU1PaG1sQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=RhMBM8vb488]📝 Substack: https://onecityabuja.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVkxa09zRGNqTkV0VllWeHJvS21TbmJSU3BJZ3xBQ3Jtc0trWHlpWUpKZlBtMEdUTjB6YUVXS05aWk11aGpWN1Fwc1FRVTU5SEZyTlhHSkVnS3p3dEJYeFdiY1VTVzd0WVBGYzcyMmxVS0pxTnF4b2V2bDVKR1hzUUhORlNFSkRfYVpaaFhHa0pmRDFoR28zMjRERQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.substack.com%2F&v=RhMBM8vb488]We exist to see everyone, everywhere, becoming one with God - from one city to another - from Abuja to the ends of the earth.

Petition: Prayer for Ourselves // The Art of Prayer // Ep. 6 // Femi Osunnuyi

s it okay to pray for yourself? Not only is it okay - it's necessary.In Episode 6 of The Art of Prayer, Pastor Femi Osunnuyi of City Church Lagos brings a powerful word on the prayer of petition - the act of bringing our own needs, desires, and longings before the Father. Too many of us pray for everyone else but feel guilty asking God for what we need. But Jesus himself taught us to pray "give us this day our daily bread." Petition isn't selfish - it's the posture of a child who knows their Father loves to give.This message will reframe the way you think about asking God for things - not as a vending machine transaction, but as an intimate conversation between a loving Father and His beloved child.If you've ever struggled with whether God cares about your needs - this one's for you.📖 Series: The Art of Prayer🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Femi Osunnuyi // City Church Lagos🔗 Connect with us:🌐 Website: https://onecityabuja.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmwyYkRpZEVuRG1lV2JtRHRBMHozXzJUQXpqd3xBQ3Jtc0tsUVlLSmJYTHVHak83QTd5dWtRVkViZFZMdklsT3ZJcjR2alZnSFpWVDYtaEJmYkdsbUZWZ1ROa1AxNWhaNnJpZjItT1JXR0Y2QTZIZTliMElxUnMzWGZkdkk4bXhzUFlnbG80MWN2N3E0a1A3aXNVQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.com%2F&v=wwu-TZh0N20]📺 YouTube:    / @onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9s44hBha1Vv34fGTwLSXA]📸 Instagram:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGhDWk9wZlVkZUlSNTVPdDdaNUVjakZ0NWpVQXxBQ3Jtc0tsQTNjUW5zVlFFMGJfNUtJY0d2d0xwVjE2UjlKTi13RXVWSDFiMG1LNGtMYTRQcTNuWGlfQkZSQmMzVUliclF4bDlZWERkNHFjMlJkdXFvWjZRenF5c0JCeEhtbm5DTmxTaDlHbW1Fa1ZxelN5QU1KMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=wwu-TZh0N20]🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/onecityabuja [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnJ2bDhpQlhicUxUczA0SUxIVkpnMGxqSUJJd3xBQ3Jtc0tuVm43VVZJNXVaWDNZVEdVVWRDT1FVVXNXYnZrQ2sxSGxHUGI1U2NOeEFDMVVaQVg2dlFvVkJtaDFyNEJnbTdOTTlPWG1LbFA4anlXY2dNbDl5SHI2WHdnUVpXVlRyOW9wNnk1em5FT1dQSW9Ca1NXcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=wwu-TZh0N20]📘 Facebook:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa01oM0dPaWZjY292V2NKeEJXTERUakVPZC0wd3xBQ3Jtc0trRjVzakdjblRrSlY0VENTbFVsRlNtUlc1YmN5TXVLVEt0em5qU1I5Mklpai0wdUZjRERLN3E3OUdzeWUwdHpodVdGQUpwQUk3N1V4V213eG9uMmhUSVo3UFBRVkNDdXFjSkxZUDQ1YngxSTF2dndQZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=wwu-TZh0N20]📝 Substack: https://onecityabuja.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnJ3Y1NaU3FWUEx3YTdMMjN3SE55RlpPS1VzUXxBQ3Jtc0tsbm9qWWxjY2hYeDBodUxXajdyTXA1dm42dDc4SGxOdUNKTzRWeGdOeFBQcUlwXzRsdmRNRGp5aXpXRDF4RF8yclVwMmc3LUFHQk1oS2JIUVdUaDl4elVwQWdadE5ZS2p4TFJ3SXNjdFdXT0pHRW9Jdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.substack.com%2F&v=wwu-TZh0N20]We exist to see everyone, everywhere, becoming one with God - from one city to another - from Abuja to the ends of the earth.

Contemplation: Prayer as Listening // The Art of Prayer // Ep. 5 // Jesse Dan-Yusuf

What if the most powerful thing you could do in prayer is stop talking?In Episode 5 of The Art of Prayer, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf explores the forgotten dimension of prayer - contemplation. In a world that rewards noise, busyness, and constant output, learning to be still before God feels almost countercultural. But Scripture is clear: "Be still, and know that I am God." There is a kind of knowing that only comes through silence. A kind of hearing that only happens when we stop filling the space with our own words.This message is an invitation to slow down, quiet the noise, and create space to actually hear the voice of the God who has been speaking all along.If prayer has felt like a monologue and you're hungry for it to become a conversation - this one's for you.📖 Series: The Art of Prayer🎙️ Speaker: ‪@jessedanyusuf‬ [https://www.youtube.com/@jessedanyusuf] ⛪ Church: One City Church, Abuja🔗 Connect with us:🌐 Website: https://onecityabuja.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVhrMGFSSjRUT0NPUHl0NjRud0xlZGdNU1B6QXxBQ3Jtc0tsclJib0txRHBqZHVkeEZGQkFWYmhwWGZfVmR0TTdpWjFON2ZqSW9zWHh6dFV2b0dnSGN3NXQwZkMtNVF6cGlDNkJIeVhaTlhzMjVnY1ZqZWpydWhZWDJGYmpiVkxNcjFHeTRFemJhZ2ptTDNINzhBUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.com%2F&v=BjBfZBNPpH0]📺 YouTube:    / @onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9s44hBha1Vv34fGTwLSXA]📸 Instagram:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbms5Y2lyZFBLaG9PSmJid3ZoNHFYSTZTQXhsQXxBQ3Jtc0ttdERGNkM3LXI4Ujd3MWpnSWdwMHU4ZDFaZ29CczF3aHptX1NDVk1JZmZsdnV5dmpRLUpZdHV1ZEgtTTdTSjMwUXNvclZ4c1JyM1M1RUpxb2FmQTZSWGh5U0VXVHRGbU9kWWFiUjY5MXJFV0JtTzZhbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=BjBfZBNPpH0]🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/onecityabuja [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblRZUFNhMm81clRaSWJRWmV0X1plUkxzd3RfZ3xBQ3Jtc0trSURHUloxTzZFSWJhUHh5c215S3UtaXNKRER3YmpGV3g4TzVBYm5FbU9Zdm9IcDJnSkNmNkttczB5dmVBa2k3aVdvNUEzUGlzd0Q5OXhBMmdkdTJUamtoM09iTzZhME1rS0NoN0c4ck1jdklzem01cw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=BjBfZBNPpH0]📘 Facebook:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkFHeEM2cl8wS0tzUHFlV0poaDA1TktaRXB0QXxBQ3Jtc0ttZE5heDJueFN4OGpac2k0eU1PUlYxcFZzQkxQOUZ2SHh6UnhSTHNPY1A1LWx4aXY2WnZPYWdoQjl1dWpXNnRoSGpHdUtCbXlaM0ZJbnY0YW11ekNtZGIyZ3BJY21OLXlBR3hnSFpCN3o4ekQ2WVhDUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=BjBfZBNPpH0]📝 Substack: https://onecityabuja.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnpOaTh5empwaGI1QXppSTd6Qkd0Ym55d044d3xBQ3Jtc0tubFdpZlJVcXZuMzdDMzJiM2ZUR0MzMHMtUVBqMFUyZlFYN3FiWEZhT0tLY1JnQjQtTVFqTzdTT0dMUVlkUmJ0Z0hBemo1Ty1KTTl0TG1uUEJSbl9jUlNzYWFvbUNNcW55Q2FGUFplX1hBeHVKYXlOZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.substack.com%2F&v=BjBfZBNPpH0]We exist to see everyone, everywhere, becoming one with God - from one city to another - from Abuja to the ends of the earth.

Intercession: Prayer for Others // The Art of Prayer // Ep. 4 // Jesse Dan-Yusuf

There is no greater act of love than standing before God on behalf of someone else.In Episode 4 of The Art of Prayer, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf opens up the heart of intercessory prayer - the sacred practice of standing in the gap for others. Intercession isn't a spiritual gift reserved for a select few. It's a calling for every believer. When we intercede, we step into the role Jesus himself plays right now - at the right hand of the Father, praying for His people.This message will challenge you to look beyond your own needs and carry the burdens of others into the throne room of God. Your prayers for someone else might be the very thing heaven is waiting on.If someone in your life needs a breakthrough and you don't know what else to do - start here.📖 Series: The Art of Prayer🎙️ Speaker: ‪@jessedanyusuf‬ [https://www.youtube.com/@jessedanyusuf] ⛪ Church: One City Church, Abuja🔗 Connect with us:🌐 Website: https://onecityabuja.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3dlM01rQl9OTk1RQk5IcmpIa1U5NXFpc1JLd3xBQ3Jtc0tsZDF3bW1yZzhIRkFmUktwX0JDbXB4U1YzSkI1bFlaTDdzREl2TnFBQVlQUEVoSGVIOUtTRW9hUllJTWR1UWl6NzdWTDhYb0Q5aERMV0M2cWMwNGNWS2dZcktya3BNQ21xQVgxaWxoa0FGS0VFVlgwRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.com%2F&v=rXFVMftCEwQ]📺 YouTube:    / @onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9s44hBha1Vv34fGTwLSXA]📸 Instagram:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbm9vd3hTU19UcVpqd2pGcERGVDRKandzY0Jod3xBQ3Jtc0ttUGRieGVyVVRtV012VVRlV2NhdnJHdUowM1A2a0ZORHhtNTYzY3N6NVJ2YkVxVV9RWWlNTUpyVElzdmdZMmloakFsNEV0VE1KVnBBZ1Z0ZFRKdFIxYTBYY0o1X1BJUjQxNTNKWllkZ1M1cFFvSU5DWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=rXFVMftCEwQ]🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/onecityabuja [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGNZQzNPX19KQTlZVEhJODJYQ0VGdDc1RmlvZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuaFNGQVpKOGx0WkE2cjVidEN6emdIYTVGN25yZUlneVkzU3dEVmthTDhNZkFvemY4X3NXZHlmRVFXZm5tdG16WW01S1ByRUZCeUtaRkFpR2tUUUtwSXNfdVZRZFNXSVlPTUFxRWczSFFMZzl1OEZiVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=rXFVMftCEwQ]📘 Facebook:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVFKbldvSG9NdzhyTGRodFdhTWxJVG14RFdXUXxBQ3Jtc0tsSUdZVHF3WEY4M3c3aTZscDNkX0NQVTJlelN3d25BVUlnR3YyMFVEcUFSdGNaaWRYc3NKd2ZJaWpySmN4Y0R3MmpfUDBPemZJdDVCMGdMYWFsSG1FVW9ReDVvZkhWWnRmM2M1LW9BdEM4bnBDQlptZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=rXFVMftCEwQ]📝 Substack: https://onecityabuja.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGJxcmNENG5CN3ZKaG5IYm1jelpuZlFZb0dTQXxBQ3Jtc0ttdnhFLTMxTEp3UTZlQWhCcU5vU0tVNEl2VVgzREpzV0VtMUpEZzFJS3diWHhDNmJqQXA2Q1duTVYtMWVqa1ZweVhJUTl6U3lueDBodzE1Ti1fSnFqVUtIaVZqQy1PSndvR0lSTmxuTkdSRmM4akUtNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.substack.com%2F&v=rXFVMftCEwQ]We exist to see everyone, everywhere, becoming one with God - from one city to another - from Abuja to the ends of the earth.

Adoration: Prayer as Worship // Ep 2 // The Art of Prayer

Before you ask God for anything, look at who He is.In Episode 2 of The Art of Prayer, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf takes us into the prayer of adoration - the kind of prayer that isn't asking for anything at all. It's simply beholding. Adoration is what happens when our hearts stop spinning long enough to orient themselves toward who God actually is. Not what He can do for us. Not what we need from Him. Just Him.This is where prayer begins to feel less like a task and more like a homecoming. When we adore God, we're not performing - we're responding. We see His goodness, His holiness, His beauty, and something in us can't help but worship.If your prayer life has become all request and no wonder - this message will recalibrate your heart.📖 Series: The Art of Prayer🎙️ Speaker: ‪@jessedanyusuf‬ [https://www.youtube.com/@jessedanyusuf] ⛪ Church: One City Church, Abuja🔗 Connect with us:🌐 Website: https://onecityabuja.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWdFQnRhcmVrTE1LYXVab0EwcGNXVk50Umcwd3xBQ3Jtc0ttNnNvTC1LVF9OZ1c1N2lmWFVNb1JVSFVYMzdHS3Fxa2sxQ1JNaHRXZmNRTzlqSDVmZ0s3MzZHWTM0UUdLbUJFbEZTWUpmQ05FRmJvM3g1d2hHMWFVOTctalZVenkyLXllVHhESkFhcEw3OTQxaFJObw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.com%2F&v=LfMgluszWt8]📺 YouTube:    / @onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9s44hBha1Vv34fGTwLSXA]📸 Instagram:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnJjUnNia2I1Mm80V3dyVXpxdFZ1REpqdDVNQXxBQ3Jtc0tuTHhCUjIydUswdVktMFBfZWVOdFRQOFdqQVBrbFpNY2hNcEdJMEIzSkxMenc3NkJ5Si1KTFJpSU1yVmlnUWM0M2ZfYUktcHkxMnAxbmlmWjQ4dUIyejhXZVYxdWVsYzlUV1BLU0Fnd0xVVHhERzRiVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=LfMgluszWt8]🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/onecityabuja [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1EtTl9ENWltU3RzWWZvc18zUjdVVFBZa25KZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsV1N4b3Y3cjB2Y21JNFQ4aTUxWmRTbENMbTB1bkp4RlNib2xZWG9pak9hSkF6d0ZDbHNRR3NUb3dVUkhRakthelJFRFhpOTBtX0luaFdoRWlOY3FyYVNYRHFDU21XTlBNZVBCOUhjcGxBNXlzRmlDTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=LfMgluszWt8]📘 Facebook:   / onecityabuja   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVI2NUs2dHVfMlV5Yk81aXBkcnY5UE5ZbDFrd3xBQ3Jtc0ttdHpYdUpqUnFRdXVJcXB3MjZMaFFUZjZ1QjN1cmxUczVZbEI2X2ZsbzlTaXN1YTg2RVN3QWc2cU1mZ0FZRXJQWGNwM2oxZDA5Z0swQkFnUEdtTmkwbTJaUkdiVFdvNTlubGN0cXlCaTNHOGNZRmdNQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fonecityabuja&v=LfMgluszWt8]📝 Substack: https://onecityabuja.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjFzczdTcHNsWlRSc1RGQjM2ZFc3RUFqdVNFd3xBQ3Jtc0tuUDJ5d1RmUjNtdm02R3FDWHdMOFpTRm0wODMxR2ZaeE1rUTBsMmRZRldEY3NqWVdBZVplR0h3c01nbHhSSXdvR01QZjUzaVJZTDREcllGWU44WUkyN1V3MGg0ZDloT2hOQUZialRhQXFTbmtrc3RvUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fonecityabuja.substack.com%2F&v=LfMgluszWt8]We exist to see everyone, everywhere, becoming one with God - from one city to another - from Abuja to the ends of the earth.
