PRAYER: MADE FAT - II

 PRAYER: MADE FAT – II

Nevertheless, a man being in honour and understandeth it not, is like a beast that perishes. Know ye not that you are in a honourable position? What honourable position? You queried. O Man! Humble thyself and take away your pride. What have you that is different from others? Moreover, you must have received it from God. So, why the puffing up? However, rich, wise or honourable man is, he must die. Tell me, why do you boast in vanity and glory in things that are temporary. Beauty? It shall fade. Money? It maketh itself wings and flies away. Position? It’s not forever. Breath? Once it is taken, the whole body lies lifeless like a log of wood unmoved, unshaken and unwanted save it is meet for fire. But you, O man, if you die without a sure hope of eternal life, it’s just like when beast dies. Can you differentiate the skeletal bones of that rich man in your town who died ten years ago from that of the poor beggar by the road side, who also died years back? Can you or can’t you? So, it would be when you die and sleep in the earth and thy body got converted to dust and sandy particles. Without the hope of eternal life, what a misearable life you’ve led. But while you are alive, acknowledge your Maker and come to Him in humility that ye may have eternal life. He loves you still.

There was never a time that God would have loved to hear you pray to Him than now. O wayward and disobedient children, you’ve read that, “the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord…” and for this cause, you fret and get troubled. You begin to be moody muttering to yourself the wretchedness of your state. Furthermore, you searched and discovered this to your hurt that, “The LORD is far from the wicked…” How far He is, we cannot say in particular.  Then you ask, “how then can God hear me, now that He is far from me…” Oh there is hope for you sir. Ma, do not be cast down. Let the Spirit of the Lord minister to your soul in that dungeon and miry clay where thou art. You see, the Lord tries the heart. Are you saying presently that, “nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling.” Dear, you are the one the Lord is speaking to. He is willing to save you. Does godly sorrow which worketh repentance has expression in you right away? Are you also saying, “I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all; But Jesus Christ is my all in all.”  Then, if you would call Him for help from the sincerity of your heart, He will help and save you too; for He said, “…whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered…” WHOSOEVER, including you!

Oh Beloved, hear the voice of the Bride and the Spirit saying, come! Do not tarry. Hurry and make haste. A delay is not good for you at all. Father, to some extent, we have grown wings of pride and made for ourselves crowns of self-sufficiency because of what we have received from you. Should what you have given us to love you more become the very issue that would lead us away from you? God forbid! Father, your intention for giving us these gifts, power, fame, wealth is to preach you to the world so that they would see the good works and glorify you. Ah! Daddy, this is our wrong, we have taken the honour both due for the work and your glory. Father, have mercy and help us to always acknowledge you. Dear Lord, unto you we have come for help and grace in this period, may we forever abide, dwell in and always depending on you in the name of Jesus. Lord return all the glory to you!

GLORIOUS GREETINGS TO US ALL
