PRAYING IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER PURPOSEFULLY!
The kingdom of God is not either this or that. For our God is a God of order and decency; and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND. For example, it’s not a case of either PURPOSE or POWER, in reverse, POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment and that you can’t accomplish with God without His enabling gracious POWER; in other words, you can’t crave for God’s gracious POWER for no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT.
This INTENT is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, governance and more. This is the reason why many prayers and unnecessary fasting that even accompany some of them are not answered. THERE ARE PURPOSELESS REQUEST – HENCE, HEAVEN CAN’T EMPOWER THEM. THINK.
So, watch out how you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pours ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end; you need to reconcile matters of GRACE to PURPOSE. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? I say NO! So, THINK!
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
