ORDER YOUR WORDS ARIGHT Pt. 2


“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18
When we call God our Father, this reminds Him of His obligations to us as His family members and triggers His provision in our direction. It is essential to note that new birth among other things makes one a member of God’s household and it is fatherhood responsibility to provide for his household. Any failure in this respect makes such one worse than an infidel (unbeliever) and has denied the faith.
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1Timothy 5:8
It is important to approach prayer altar with the following mindset:
God is my Father,
He asked me to come to reason with Him,
and I have an assurance of an answer from Him otherwise He is denying the faith but God cannot deny the faith.
There are some ways to reason with God, prayer is one of such ways and searching out from the book of the Lord (reading the bible) is another way.
“Search from the book of the LORD, and read:
Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them. Isaiah 34:16
Searching the book is revealing, this opens one up to all that is available for us to enjoy in Christ. There are things that come with new birth which ignorance has every potential to rob any that care not to search the book. As long as the book is closed, blessings are denied and destinies are closed and frustrated; also the prayer endeavor is an effort in futility. You must know and understand what is provisioned in the book to be able to order your words aright. The only proper way to reason with God is to reason with Him on the basis of His word for He cannot deny His word; God is bounded by His word but one must know the word to reason aright. Reasoning aright means praying aright. You bring forth your strong reasons, only reasoning that has word base is strong enough to win God attention.
“Present your case,” says the LORD.
“Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. Isaiah 41:21
It is not crying and shouting that moves God but your strong reasons. You do not win a case in law court on the basis of your familiarity with the judge but on the strength of the case you have made before the court. Your strong cases based on defined laws and previous judgments.
Jehoshaphat made a reference to a previous case when he told God you are the one that gave this land to Abraham your friend for inheritance forever
7 Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? 8 And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9 ‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’ 10 And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir— whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them 2 Chronicles 20:7-10
Also he reminded God of His word that if they pray to Him from the sanctuary they built for Him in the land that He will answer them. So these two strong reasons God could not but intervene and fought on their behalf. What a joy, we are the temple of the Living God and He lives and dwells in us -
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16
