LET US PRAY

-

"Prayer is the key, prayer is the master key, prayer is the master key, Jesus started with prayers and ended with prayers . . ."


This was a song we learnt as children and indeed all children ought to be brought up with songs like this.


Colossians 4:2

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;


One of the signs of not being in the spirit is when our prayers begin to cease.


It is an evidence of not having the continual consciousness of God.


When the bible mentions prayer it always ask us to do something along side:


Matthew 26:41

"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


Ephesians 6:18

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--


Colossians 4:2

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;


1Peter 4:7

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.


The bible said we should be watchful!


A prayerful christian is also a watcher. We must watch to see what God is showing us, to know what time and season it is and to know when temptation arises.


We have people who claim to pray but they are not watchful: They are ASLEEP!


When God does speak, they do not hear.


When God shows them a sign, they miss it.


When temptation comes they fall right into it.


Prayer is not mere shouting or reciting words giving to you by a priest, prophet, pastor or whoever, it must have you in it and it is by God's own Spirit dwelling in you. For the Spirit knows the will of the Heavenly Father:


Romans 8:26-27

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.


Praying in public cannot be replaced with private intercession and prayers. Whether we pray in groups or as individuals, we ought to watch that we do not miss that which is revealed to us.


God is alive and His angels are still on assignment for us. May we always be watchful that we may not miss that which is meant for us.


Have you talked one on one with God today? Do you pray at least once a day with your immediate family? Wake up!


Let us pray.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@ the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
