Obedience in Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
(Matt6:9-10 NIV)

Faith and Grace teachings in most places(churches) have over shadowed obedience teachings and have blotted out its importance. There are principles in the things of the spirit, and obedience is one key factor. Once you can identify these principles, and you follow/obey them, you are set for life.

Someone may be wondering, obedience in prayer, what's that about? It's as simple as it is. When you obey the principle, you get the results.

And Jesus speaking said,
"This, then, is how you should pray: 
'Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name. 
Your kingdom come. 
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' " 
(Matt6:9-10 NIV)

Ever wondered why pray you and don't get answers?! Have you been praying your will and not the Father's will?! Have you subjected yourself to a self-harassing, non-productive and pathetic prayer life?! If yes, it's time to change that.

The awesome truth is that is unclear to most people is; the answers to obedient prayers have been there even before you pray it. Praying it is simply going to withdraw those answers. The same as with withdrawing money from an automated teller machine(ATM). You can't get to an ATM and slide in the wrong side of your card and expect to get money out, likewise you can't insert your card and keep entering the wrong pin and get money out. The bank has pre-stated principles for withdrawal processes at ATMs;
- You slot in your card with the chip side up first
- You enter the correct pin,
- and you withdraw what you need.

If you violate these processes/principles, you don't get nothing. You may keep trying and trying all day but you won't get nothing.

Same goes for prayer, you follow the principle of prayer and you get the answers.

Gospel according to 1John5:14-15 NIV shows the not-so-secret secret of a enjoyable and answer producing prayer life;

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."

Are you going to pray now? And is it going to be His will?! Choose to be prayer obedient. Choose to be Spirit principled.

Our Father in heaven,.....,your will be done!! 🙏🏽


Shalom!!

So today, in a separate conversation with two persons, one said "shebi u be pastor"  and the other said "Seriously, Actually noticed you've been posting Bible passages these days, you don born again?".  I didn't think much of the former, but i did engage the latter in a lengthy conversation because he went on to say "I really wish I can be serious like you too, just that all these worldly things won't let me be"  And to the glory of God, the conversation was fruitful. Which actually is the testimony of this post. Later in the day thinking about the former and wondering why people have settled for the notion that you are a pastor just because you share God's word, i realized it is because we are failing as believers. Believers have abandoned their duties as propagators of the gospel. We have left it all to the Ministry gifts to do the work of Christ. Little wonder anyone sharing the word today is perceived to be a pastor. A

Renew(ing) your Land!!

             If you've ever thought about it, you'll recognise the fact that our minds, the human mind is always engaged every second, every minute, every time. Like I usually like to put it, there's never an idle mind.                The mind has no sleep mode, hibernation or shut down mode. It's a processing unit that's always running on million of codes per time. The mind is a very important tool and holds the most powerful driving force on a man's life and The Word  puts it, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (See GNT )                See your mind as a peice of land, and your thoughts as seeds. What seeds are you planting 🌱 in your mind?! What seeds should you plant 🌱 in your mind?! Apostle Paul admonishes us in his letter to the phillipians, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso

Living in God's Will

Consider an airplane, designed to fly. It's natural base of operations is the sky, beyond the clouds. Imagine a particular plane that chose to make motor roads its base of operations. Such a plane is not only operating outside of design, operating short of what it's destined to, it is also making itself dangerous by operating where it is not designed to. See previous post here: Abounding in Giving!! This is the story of a great percentage of Christians. Choosing to operate outside of the original design God made specifically for them, outside of God's will. They won't only be underperforming but also be a danger to themselves and others. Be it unto us according to your word Oh Lord, let your will be done on earth and in our lives as you have designed it in heaven, as you have chosen us to be before the foundations of the world as you have predestined us to be before you to the good pleasure of your will. This here should be our life motto as believers. Nothing
