ORDER YOUR WORD ARIGHT


5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, 6 and said: “O LORD God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? 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.’ 2 Chronicles 20:5-9

One of the uniqueness of belief in the God of the bible is the privilege of having the Almighty God as a Father. There exist a family tie relationship between us and God; for He is not just our creator and maker but our Father.
An understanding of this unique privilege offers a defining moment in our prayer life and dealing with God. Being a responsible Father for that He commits to taking proper care of all that do put their trust in Him; He takes joy in answering the prayers of His children.
But there is a way to make our prayers to gain God attention. You remember the disciples of Jesus asked Him to teach them how to prayer. Certain protocols are to be followed otherwise one is simply pretending to be praying; until you have followed the protocol, you have not ordered your word aright and as such have not prayed at all.
God would want you to acknowledge His Fatherhood in your prayer; this acknowledgement is vital to gaining His attention, it activates the father-child tie which is responsibility and care provision ties.
“I will clothe him with your robe And strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah - Isaiah 22:21”.
So fatherhood is synonymous to responsibility and as such you do well to affirm this in your prayers.
Also give God adoration by acknowledging His great doings and deeds. This defines the basis for His intervention, answer, and commits Him to answer you; you simply put God above the challenges in adoration. His revered place is emphasized and His ability to create and make thing good projected. All these proves the trust and dependency on Him, for He will do it when you make Him know that only Him can do it.

BLESSED ABOVE LIMIT

You are not blessed because you are rich; you are rich because you are blessed. There are so many people that are in possession of money and riches that are not blessed. Often when blessing is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is money, riches, and wealth. But these are just a part to it but never the whole to it. Because many seem to lack this understanding, they do even the unthinkable to have it money. I say have because in essence they are not blessed; the wealth is gotten by their effort and lacked the blessing of God. Also it is not in man to bless himself/herself; it is God that releases blessing that makes rich – Labor not to be rich Proverb 23:4. The major reason for much labor for riches is due to lack of the understanding of the nature of our blessing and the mindset of lack developed over a long time. This mindset has much become part of many yet effort are not been made to deal with this mindset. NATURE OF OUR BLESSING The blessing has a nature peculiar to i...

ESSENTIALS OF PARENTING

According to Wikipedia ”Parenting (or child rearing) is a process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood”. For me I believe that parenting is a full time task and all involving. To make progress in parenting, parents must consciously take steps and make decisions that will guarantee real success. There are some basic requirements for an effective parenting; these requirements are the essentials of parenting. No doubt parenting requires some basic skills. ESSENTIALS #1 : Know that every child is unique – Children are God’s creation, God in the nature of His creation do not mass produce; the children are of same parents but different creature. Every child is a one of its kind and not one of their kinds. ESSENTIAL #2 : Make effort to understand their uniqueness. This is a task every parent must face; until their uniqueness is well appreciated, no progress is possible in parenting. Spend t...

MEETING OTHERS NEEDS

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Mathew 23:11 A servant is someone who serves others and it demands a lot of discipline for one to be at the service of others. It is pretty easier and more conventional to have people serve you than it is to serve others. Easier to notice what is not done well than it is to actually do it well, and service is about being involved in doing it well. I have noticed a desire among people, this desire is often very strong and cuts across sex, ethnicity, race, class, name it. This desire is a desire to be outstanding in a chosen field of endeavor. But only a few of this great multitude that desire this actually stand out; the reason is very obvious, the lack of readiness to pay the supreme price of service, serving the interest of others. The criteria for greatness in life still remain readiness to serve; the servant will forever be the greatest anywhere, anytime. Someone tried to compare ancient architectural works of Egypt with...
