PRAYER: MADE FAT - I

 PRAYER: MADE FAT

Here we stand in the righteousness of Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! Beloved, let us rejoice and sing a joyful song unto our Maker who was, who is and is to come from everlasting to everlasting, The Almighty. The world behind us the Lord before us, we follow, we maintain our gaze by the help of the Most High God through His Spirit in us. We won’t look back neither are we going to deny Him. Many are the works of God unto us. They are more than we can number. The Lord loves and preserves us from all evil and pestilence. We are alive today because His mercies kept us. Indeed, we are grateful to God for all He is doing for us. Sometimes, when the answers to our prayer seem to be tarrying too long to stir up or cause doubt in us. During this period, the Spirit of the Lord comes to us to keep our company telling us the unfathomable dimension and power of God in doing all things bringing all His acts and deeds from previous years till date to our remembrance. It is in this we are made strong and resilient. Father, thank you for your Spirit being our Comforter, Guide, Friend, Helper and Teacher.

Should in case our prosperity has led us to a state of forgetting God and our living in plenteousness has made us grow proud to an extent of thinking we are “self-sufficient”, it is time to acknowledge our numerous wrongs and this as well. Lord is our Shepherd indeed and now we lack nothing. Could it be that our case as we speak of fatness is like that which Jeremiah portrayed that, “They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife”? It is time to pray for God’s mercy to restore and help us henceforth o the end…

LET US PRAY

1. Father, thank you for feeding us with all spiritual and physical blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus to make us fat and wonderfully made and for the divine turnaround we are experiencing day to day. Thank you, Lord – Eph. 1:3.

2. Oh Lord, Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. One of the reasons you have made and saved us is to reign together with you in your Kingdom. We pray for grace to be with you till the end in the name of Jesus Christ – Rev. 2:7; 3:21.

3. My Father(3x), I confess by sins of pride and disobedience. Forgive me and renew your right Spirit within me Oh Lord. Like the writer of Proverbs said, “lest I be full and I say, who is God?” I have often found myself in this case, Oh Lord, help me forgive me and purge me in the name of Jesus – Pro. 31:7-9; Ps. 51:10.

4. Oh Lord, give me grace to remain humble and not to go proud even as you increase and enlarge me for good in the name of Jesus Christ – James 4:6.

5. Father, I receive grace and help not to honour, exalt, reference, love or fear anything or anyone above you in the name of Jesus Christ – 1Sam. 2:29.

6. Oh Lord, register this in our heart, inscribe upon our soul with your indelible pen and inerasable ink so that we will always acknowledge and know you as the “Giver of wealth” in the name of Jesus – Hos. 2:8; Deut. 8:18.

7. Father, do not give me anything or endow me with any blessing, honour, position, riches, poverty, people etc. that will take me far away from you in the name of Jesus – Pro. 31:7-9; Is. 1:2.

8. Oh Lord my Maker, do not let my belly be my God in the name of Jesus – Php. 3:19.

9. Father, I submit myself and all mine to you, therefore, I resist anything or power that are fighting to make me weak towards your precepts and rebellious to you in the name of Jesus – James. 4:7.

10. Oh Lord, daily as I live, by your help and comfort may I always say, “what shall spate me from the love of Christ?” Therefore, my Father, may nothing/no man put asunder between us in the name of Jesus – Rom. 8:35.

Holy Father, how can we be holy except you make us to be? The world is full of pollution within and without. That’s not an excuse though because many of your people whom you called passed through it blameless and without rebuke only by you helping them. We tried but our best was not just enough. We have come to realise that, our hearts are prone to deception and can easily go haughty at any time when rest, comfort and prosperity are following us intimately. Sometimes, when we experience little bliss it almost swept us off our feet. Oh Lord, we come to you, help us to be steadfast to the end and to wait on you no matter what in the name of Jesus. We pray you hold us and handle us with an everlasting grip that we won’t fall in the name of Jesus. Resist and rebuke pride in our hearts, Oh Lord, and help us to always seek and to know you more in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

HUMILITY GREETINGS TO US ALL

TAKE NOTHING - Part III

TAKE NOTHING - Part III Are we any better with all we've taken? Or are we any less for not taking them. The children of Levi would have thought that God was cruel and wicked at first for not giving them an inheritance alongside their brethren. This could be mostly ascribed to them not knowing the mind of God. When God told them not to take anything or share with the remaining tribe, they would have felt used, cheated or wasted; just like most of us do feel nowadays. We go about complaining, nagging and murmuring our lack, wants and needs. Is God not aware? For your Heavenly Father know that ye have need of them, saith Jesus. Now to the Levites, they had no inheritance to share with their brethren...did that make them destitute, wretched or any poorer? At all. THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, AND SHALL HAVE NO PART NOR INHERITANCE WITH ISRAEL:...Deuteronomy:18:1. If you were to be in their shoes then, what would your reaction be? They followed well the hymn which says, LET'S GO TO

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe?

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe? The above stated theory is believed to have crept into us that we've concluded without questions. The postulation has been adopted into every activities full of hurly-burly. In people's tittle-tattle kind of or way of things, this theorem has been concessional. And just like little children when told not to do something by their parents, we've lived this far without questioning too at this stage and age. What? You've now reasoned to ask, Right? 1. What is full of UPs and DOWNs? 2. Who said it/this? 3. When was it told/How old is this belief? Let me hang on there; I will try as much as possible to answer the above questions to the best of my knowledge and if there are contrary opinions, I'm open for clarity and correction. Answer to the Questions 1. They say life is full of UPs and DOWNs. 2. I don't know the person. 3. Seriously, I don't know when it was said and how long. If you know, please tell me ...

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

NOW THAT YOU KNOW Know what you asked? That's; Salvation comes of the Lord and not by any form of fretting or good works, why then don't you go to Him for yours. A delay is too deadly a time to waste in this case. I'm also convinced you know by now that Jesus is coming. Yes, you have this conviction in your heart. You can't afford to continue living your life the same way compared to those in the world. It's brought to your knowledge this day again as a reminder that, WE BROUGHT NOTHING TO THIS WORLD NEITHER WOULD YOU TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT. I'm sure you know this.... All this your flamboyant and glamorous but questionable lifestyle is too costly and risky to put your mansion on high on mortgage... If at you know you have one. Without gainsaying, you should have known that, striving with your Maker makes you to be in the same category with a potsherd... What's potsherd here? You're reduced to a piece. Also, you should have heard this and com
