WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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 . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 1:15-23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0placed\u00a0by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 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\u00a0spake\u00a0the 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”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 4:1-33.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The kingdom of God is not\u00a0wishy-washy\u00a0or either this or that,\u00a0in order to\u00a0appeal to sentiments and\u00a0self-seeking\u00a0satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5<\/b>); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0God’s\u00a0given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE.\u00a0It’s\u00a0in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019t\u00a0accomplish\u00a0PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can\u2019t crave in prayer for God\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And he\u00a0goeth\u00a0up 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\u00a0have\u00a0POWER (ENABLING TO FUNCTION) to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils”\u00a0<\/i>Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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,\u00a0governance\u00a0and such like more.\u00a0It’s\u00a0for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE – ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to\u00a0have\u00a0been 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\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST\u00a0that’s\u00a0demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any\u00a0endeavour\u00a0to function and become.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it\u2019s 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\u00a0few\u00a0days or weeks\u00a0or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things\u00a0have\u00a0not worked out. Especially when your Church service\u00a0Ministers\u00a0have\u00a0prayed and or\u00a0you’ve\u00a0observed\u00a0the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0have\u00a0the 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\u00a0having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation –\u00a0(Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28<\/b>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I\u00a0have\u00a0discussed 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\u00a0self-made\u00a0show-off agenda,\u00a0to\u00a0FAST and PRAY as in\u00a0Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was\u00a0accompanied\u00a0with 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 –\u00a0Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22.<\/b>\u00a0He 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,\u00a0governance\u00a0and such like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good,\u00a0meaningful\u00a0and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when\u00a0Intentionally,\u00a0it’s\u00a0done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So,\u00a0PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
