WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER Demand With Purpose!

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that to appeals to sentiments and self seeking satisfaction in circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY; and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

For example, it’s not a case of either PURPOSE or POWER, and in reverse of POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes, and that, you can’t accomplish with God without His enabling gracious POWER; in other words, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious POWER for no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish.

And as a child of God, this INTENT is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, governance and more. This is the reason why many PRAYERS and FASTING are unnecessary; it’s because they are purposeless driven with the intent of power or opportunity we seek. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make it look, especially on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do or are doing to accompany such in order to get an answered.

So, watch out how you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile matters of GRACE DEMAND to PURPOSE. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? I say NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE and POWER (opportunity) works together that one have meaningful fulfilment with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s approval and not man’s applaud – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22).

Our perfect example is our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity was led of the Holy Spirit, meaning no self show off, to FAST and PRAY. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit and with a PURPOSE of God for the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit. He lived through humanity in that cause or purpose and power with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, governance and more.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!
