The Realm Where God Cannot Ignore You by Apostle Michael Orokpo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Presenting Strong Reasons Before God

You must enter the realm of presenting strong reasons before God. Isaiah 43:26: "Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your cause, that you may be justified." And earlier in Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord."

There is a place where God reasons with men. You can come before God with the weight of His own Word — and make a case:

Father, is it me You say Jesus died for? Was it because of me Jesus hung on the cross? If Jesus hung on the cross because of me — why won't You remove this cancer? Heaven will move, sir.

He said: produce your cause. Bring forth your strong reasons. The death of Jesus cannot be a waste — not in your life. You can come with faith. You can come with strong reasons. And when you do, you enter the realm where God cannot ignore you.

Faith That Produces Strong Reasons

Strong reasons are not manufactured arguments — they are scriptural grounds that you have internalized and made personal. The person who presents strong reasons before God:

• Knows what the blood of Jesus purchased — and will not accept less
• Has moved beyond general belief into specific, covenant-based claim
• Refuses to allow the evidence of the problem to override the authority of the promise
• Comes not as a beggar but as a covenant child presenting the terms of the covenant

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?" This is a strong reason. If the greater has been given — the Son — then the lesser is already included. You don't present this timidly. You present it with the boldness of one who knows what was paid.

The Prayer That Heaven Cannot Ignore

Beyond strong reasons, there is a quality of prayer that moves heaven — heartfelt prayer. James 5:16: "The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."

This prayer must touch you first before it touches God. Look at how Elijah prayed when he wanted to generate rain — he squatted, put his head between his thighs, and groaned. That is the kind of prayer Jesus also taught in Luke 18:1–8:

There was a widow who needed to be avenged of an adversary. A wicked judge who neither feared God nor feared man. But the widow came day and night, troubling the judge until he said: "Although I don't fear God and I don't fear man — this widow will wear me out. I will avenge her."

Those who block answers from heaven are dogged. They come by faith, they produce their strong reasons, and their prayers are heartfelt. They do not stop until the answer comes.

Access Through Righteousness

The real thing God gave you is His Word. The real thing God gave you is His Spirit. The real thing God gave you is access through righteousness. Romans 5:17: "They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."

Righteousness gives you access — so that you can reign in life. If the anointed man of God is an advantage, that is good. But if there is no anointed man available, your access to the throne room does not depend on him. You have righteousness. You have the blood. You have access to God Himself — and all the angels will recognize your voice.

You will pray some kind of prayer and heaven will stop for you. There will be silence in heaven because you have entered the realm where God cannot ignore you.

Persistence Is the Price of the Realm

This realm is not entered once and permanently maintained. It requires sustained, persistent engagement:

• The widow came day and night — not just when she felt like it
• Daniel prayed for 21 days before the breakthrough came (Daniel 10:12–13)
• Elijah prayed seven times before the cloud appeared (1 Kings 18:43–44)
• Jacob wrestled through the night and would not let go until he received the blessing (Genesis 32:26)

I will pray and die praying — but I will not stop until the answer comes. That is the posture of the one who occupies the realm where God cannot ignore them. Not passive religiosity. Not resigned waiting. Active, covenant-grounded, heartfelt, persistent engagement — until the answer arrives.
