WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!
The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.
For example, it’s not a case of demanding from God either of PURPOSE or POWER, and in reverse, of POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.
And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and more. This is the reason why many PRAYERS and FASTING are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it, especially counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGIL’S that 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 the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Hence I ask – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? And I say NO and NO!
It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good, to ensure that one have the 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; Romans 8:28).
Our perfect example is our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity was led of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self show off, to FAST and PRAY. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that cause or purpose and power with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.
Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT And ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when Intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND With PURPOSE.
So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!
