SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15. 

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26.

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

God will only answer to a PURPOSEFUL demand – His answering ensures His POWER and GRACE to enable one to FUNCTION and to BECOME – in Christ Jesus stead.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH (RIGHT TO THE GRACE TO BECOME) unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should BE with him, and that he might SEND (MISSION) them forth to PREACH (PURPOSE), 15 and to have POWER (ENABLING TO FUNCTION) to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE – ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channelled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavour to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life, and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

By Leave a Comment

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: YOU NEED TO STAY CONNECTED IN FELLOWSHIP [PRAYERS]!

“So we ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal REPRESENTATIVES] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20/Amplified Classic Edition.

I am yet to find any genuine ambassador or even secretary of state on foreign policy, representing his country, that’s not connected and always connected and in communication with the sending country in every decision except such had been declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA by his country. And so ought every Believer of God in Christ Jesus, who by virtue of being a New Creation, are ambassador, representing the heavenly in earthly affairs in love.

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into mischief [trouble]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

And one great hallmark of such BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE, is the act of FELLOWSHIP to enhance that RELATIONSHIP with the sending heavenly. It’s upon this assigned mandate that the Believer in Christ Jesus is CALLED by the heavenly faith into a place of FELLOWSHIP wherein the Believer can fulfil purpose of God in Christ Jesus stead. And this ACT OF FELLOWSHIP is not only toward God in Christ Jesus but to toward fellow Believer’s in the grace of the same-like faith in Christ Jesus, there are Christ’s ambassador. For many have the habit of disregarding the fellowship [communication and connection] with others, and we are admonished and charged not to avoid such act of fellowship. And the act of fellowship in this context is what we mostly generally called – the act of PRAYERS!

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28 [Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified].

“NOT FORSAKING OR NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE [FELLOWSHIP] together [as Believers], as is the HABIT OF SOME PEOPLE, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more FAITHFULLY as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s therefore the need to PRAY and keep PRAYING, for it’s a hallmark of the ACT OF FELLOWSHIP for the earthly, to being connected and in communication with the heavenly in order to resolve the earthly affairs: personal, family, community, national and the world; for PRAYER is the path for the Believing one’s as AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, to receive the enabling grace to help fulfil God’s divine purpose and to avoid being declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA.

WHAT THEN IS PRAYER [The Act of Fellowship] – NOT LIMITED:

PRAYER is – the FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God. PRAYER is – the COMMUNION with the heavenly Father God in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD. PRAYER is – the avenue of resolving life matters with the heavenly to fulfil the assigned divine PURPOSE in humanity.

PRAYER is – engaging and asking of the HEAVENLY permission into your EARTHLY affairs. PRAYER is – the asking for the heavenly intervention in matters of earnest earthly challenges. PRAYER is – the Believer’s life blood to all about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. PRAYER and the life of PRAYER and PRAYING, is not just an act but Believer’s life breath from the heavenly into the earthy affairs of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER – is a vitality and necessity for the Believer’s in Christ to be able to thrive by God for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. And as PRAYER is the Believer’s inescapable obligation to ensure and assure a safe trail with God in humanity, it’s imperative and prerogative of getting readily ready in the context of our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly – plan, purpose and pursuit – in order to take on and take charge of our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And with the daily challenges of our faith in Christ Jesus, it’s of great necessity to PRAY. Such act of PRAYER and PRAYING enable one to ask help of the heavenly TIMELESS timeline into our earthly TIMED timeline intervention. DON’T YOU THINK SO? And if Yes – then give PRAYER a GO today and always – meaning, you can start now to ask for the heavenly permission into your earthly affairs intervention. Start now to let the heavenly interfere into your set out PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which will in turn count and account for your good and goodness as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus [Luke 18:1-8; Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18].

PRAYER – is the PATH to have your thoughts and plan ESTABLISHED readily in the spiritual atmosphere with the heavenly realm for an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need to authenticate and enact tangibly into reality your desired yearnings – just as a horse is made readily ready ahead of any battle and challenging time usefulness. May I inform or remind you, it is the spiritual realm of the heavenly, that gives the physical (earthly) world realm the synergy of life – therefore, do yourself a favour to PRAY, so that you FAINT not and live a WORRY free life in the earthly affairs. [Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12-16; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 6:9-18, 25-34; Hebrews 4:14-16].

PRAYER – is vital because there’s the NEED to HEAR God for yourself and not from someone else’s, especially on that which one intending PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in Christ Jesus stead; personal of prayers in fellowship saves one from waiting for the prophecy of someone to define you on MATTERS that they can’t carry through life with you especially on your behalf. Know of a truth that God hears and answers PRAYERS, and it’s imperative and your prerogative should be to talk and reason WITH God for yourself and not someone else taking the stage for their ego, knowing that God will answer you irrespective and accordingly. [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 5:1-3; Jeremiah 33:3].

Today, and now, it beholds me to plead with you to please GIVE GOD A CALL TODAY – HE WILL ANSWER WHEN IT RINGS ON HIS THRONE. He wants to hear from you personally irrespective without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS” Revelation 5:8.

“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE, that he should offer it with THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, which came with the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD out of the angel’s hand” Revelation 8:3-4.

Be BLESSED in your EARTHLY CAUSE to doing LIFE and living GODLY in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, GO WEARY, LOOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The HEARTFELT AND PERSISTENT PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:16 (Amplified).

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“O You who HEAR prayer, To You all mankind comes” Psalms 65:2 (Amplified).

“CALL to Me and I will ANSWER you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish” Jeremiah 33:3 (Amplified).

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a MOUNTAIN TO PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was PRAYING there” Mark 1:35 (Amplified).

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY: STAY FAITHFUL IN PRAYERS – THERE’S AN ANSWER WITH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18 Emphasis Mine.

Dear friend, be ASSURED and KNOW full well, that in Christ Jesus stead, no matter the NOTWITHSTANDING and the NEVERTHELESS you’ve found yourself at this very moment in life – You don’t need to FAINT, GIVE UP, BE WEARY, LOOSE HEARTS, BE UNFAITHFUL to the principles of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus because of your current challenges. You need to take the bull by the horns, knowing it’s in all goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness for you to just stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS – which is the CONSULTATION LIFELINE with God, until your ANSWERS comes.

THERE’S A MIRACLE for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS if you can take the needed and needful step of FAITH in God. For with God – ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE – [Matthew 19:26]. And ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to you and to all Who BELIEVE God by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – [Mark 9:23].

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

Do you truly and earnestly BELIEVE the possibility God as Simon Peter fully Believe of God’s WORD to launch into the deep for a catch – the catch that comes on obeying Christ Jesus demands? [Luke 5:1-11]. Thus indicating that God will always COMMEND what He COMMAND. That should be your personal ANSWER to that QUEST you earnestly desire to turn around today no matter your situations. For we OUGHT to PRAY and not FAINT – and God seek a heart of FAITHFULNESS in all situations [Luke 18:1-8].

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: Nevertheless At Thy Word I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their NET BRAKE . . .” Luke 5:1-11.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18/Emphasis Mine.

There are many occasions wherein we are at crossroads one way or the other. The natural thing to do in most cases is by tending to go down to Egypt because of the FAMINE of life as Isaac of Abraham of Genesis 26:1-6. But if you can take a stand on God’s WORD as he was instructed by God, therein he waxed great and went on to become very greater in the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS that took it’s hold in him as in Genesis 26:12-14 (Genesis 26).

There’s the need to stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS no matter the nevertheless and the notwithstanding of your situations today; for there’s an ANSWER with God in Christ Jesus stead. Take the NOTWITHSTANDING and NEVERTHELESS position stand in PRAYERS, to deal with everything that stands in your part of BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!

“Call unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

For example, PRAYER is not a case of demanding from God either of His PURPOSE or His POWER, and in reverse, of His POWER or His PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and CAUSE to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING – ENDOWMENT – to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His gracious enabling – endowment – POWER; also, you can’t crave in PRAYER for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES – for it to accomplish. Therefore, you need to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether is to your – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. This is the reason why many so called – PRAYERS and FASTING – are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely seeking for POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t ANSWER a – PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND – no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it; this important to note, especially counting on how much rigorous devotion of time we claim to be doing sometimes in respect to PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGIL’S; and all these being done or that we do or are doing to accompany such activity or activities, is in order to get an ANSWER and yet are not forth coming or happening as we earnestly request and crave after.

So, watch out HOW you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile matters of GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (the rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good of you and to ensure that you have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect example on matter of the subjects in discussion is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity, He was graciously LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning it’s  not a self show off to FAST and PRAY as some may do to indicate spiritual classification. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that CAUSE or PURPOSE and POWER with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. And I can say in His stead, that in same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good – meaningfully and in fulfilment. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when done intentionally and as led by the Holy Spirit and by the WORD, in reconciling POWER demand with PURPOSE from God.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

THERE’S THE NEED TO PRAY

By Leave a Comment

THERE’S THE NEED TO PRAY: SETTING YEAR 2024 READILY READY!

PRAYER is – the FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God. PRAYER is – the COMMUNION with the heavenly Father God in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD. PRAYER is – the avenue of resolving life matters with the heavenly to fulfill the assigned divine PURPOSE in humanity.

PRAYER is – engaging and asking of the HEAVENLY permission into your EARTHLY affairs. PRAYER is – the asking for the heavenly intervention in matters of earnest earthly challenges. PRAYER is – the Believer’s life blood to all about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. PRAYER and the life of PRAYER and PRAYING, is not just an act but Believer’s life breath from the heavenly into the earthy affairs of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER is a vitality and necessity for the Believer’s in Christ to be able to thrive by God for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. And as PRAYER is the Believer’s inescapable obligation to ensure and assure a safe trail with God in humanity, it’s imperative and prerogative of getting readily ready in this context of YEAR 2024, in order to take on and take charge of YEAR 2024.

And with the upcoming YEAR 2024, it’s of great necessity to PRAY. Such act of PRAYER and PRAYING enable one to ask help of the heavenly TIMELESS timeline into our earthly TIMED timeline intervention. DON’T YOU THINK SO? And if Yes – then give PRAYER a GO today – meaning, you can start now to ask for the heavenly permission into your earthly affairs intervention. Start now to let the heavenly interfere into your set out YEAR 2024 PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which will in turn count and account for your good and goodness. [Luke 18:1-8; Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18].

PRAYER is the PATH to have your thoughts and plan ESTABLISHED readily in the spiritual atmosphere with the heavenly realm for an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need to authenticate and enact tangibly into reality your desired yearnings – just as a horse is made readily ready ahead of any battle and challenging time usefulness. May I inform or remind you, it is the spiritual realm of the heavenly, that gives the physical (earthly) world realm the synergy of life – therefore, do yourself a favour to PRAY, so that you FAINT not and live a WORRY free life in the earthly affairs. [Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12-16; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 6:9-18, 25-34; Hebrews 4:14-16].

There’s the NEED to HEAR God for yourself and not from someone else’s, on that your intended PLANS, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for YEAR 2024, rather than waiting for one prophecy of someone to define you on MATTERS that they can’t carry through life with you especially on your behalf. Know of a truth that God hears and answers PRAYERS, and it’s imperative and your prerogative to talk and reason WITH God yourself and He will answer you irrespective and accordingly. [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 5:1-3; Jeremiah 33:3].

GIVE GOD A CALL TODAY – HE WILL ANSWER WHEN IT RINGS ON HIS THRONE [Revelation 5:8; Revelation 8:3-4].

Be BLESSED in your EARTHLY CAUSE to doing LIFE and living GODLY in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“”And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18 Emphasis Mine.

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER A PURPOSEFUL DEMAND – WITH POWER AND GRACE TO FUNCTION AND BECOME – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE -ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channeled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavor to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when Intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!
