Be imitators of Me, as I am of Christ. Now I commend you because you remember Me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.

(1 Corinthians 11:1-2 ESV)

Prayer

Father God, I have set You before me and You are preparing the way. You are in the centre of my life in Christ Jesus. I will come to the right place, which Jesus wants; and I am determined to abandon myself to God completely, surrendering my heart, body, mind, spirit and soul to His perfect will. I totally surrender my life to Him.

Jesus, You have given me and unrestrained, an adventurous spirit, as I have placed my trust and faith completely in You. I am prepared to take the risks You want me to take in a leap of faith placing my confidence in Christ Jesus and in the Holy Spirit of God. I will be an imitator of Jesus Christ as I abide in Him. I will maintain the tradition and be an imitator of You, even as You delivered them to me what You say I am to do. You have given me common sense, and as I test the trials, in faith, I will find that they are the very words of God.

I trust God will bring me fresh and new opportunities He has for my life; I grasp those opportunities with both my hands. I will praise and exalt God with all of my heart, mind, body, soul and spirit which will bring honour and glory to His name forever and always. Amen.

‘I Am in the Race’

Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

“We get the eternal prize.”

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am in the race in such a way that I desire to win the prize. Let me run with You to win the prize and reap the rewards of my faith in Christ. Holy Spirit, help me to practice self-control and always go for the eternal prize. Let me run straight to the goal of my purpose with each step I take. Let me be disciplined in Christ and empower me to do things in His will and ways. At each crossroad in my life there are choices that I have to make. Holy Spirit, help me to make all the right choices. Sometimes this will mean I need to give up something good in order to do what God wants. I am willing to do this. I am determined that discipline and denial must be what God wants from me. Do not let me be influenced by man/woman again. Let me always be under the influence of my God under control of the Holy Spirit of God. Sustain me in the power of Jesus Christ’s name and let me have a strong spiritual backbone, in the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

Lessons To Be Learnt

Being true disciples of Jesus Christ, we should wish for more than anything to win the race that is required of us to have purpose and discipline. We know that being a Christian takes hard work, self-denial, and gruelling preparation. As Christians, we must run toward our heavenly reward. The essential disciplines we should have are  prayer, Bible Study, and worshipping God, which equip us to run the race with vigour and stamina. We do not want to merely observe from the grandstand, nor do we want to jog a couple of laps each morning but be in it for the long haul to receive the eternal prize of our faith by training diligently as our spiritual progress depends on it.

Then you will present your petitions over my signature! And I won’t need to ask the Father to grant you theses requests, for the Father Himself, loves you dearly because you love Me and believe that I came from the Father. (John 16:26-27 TLB)

Prayer

O my beloved God, I praise and thank You that I am able to ask You in Your name – that is, it is in Your nature for my prayers to be answered. I am so intimate with You and I am One with You.

Jesus, said, “Because of His name, God will recognize and respond to my prayers,” I am so grateful to You for responding to the prayers I petition before You for the heart and core of Your people. Thank You for laying their names upon my heart enabling me to pray daily for them. This is a great challenge and invitation to me – to pray in Your name, and to have enough love, faith, and confidence to know  that when I pray You hear me and when I know You hear me then I know my prayers will be answered by You for them at Your appointed time.

I trust You that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Through the resurrection and ascension power of Jesus Christ, and through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, He has been sent to me to live within me; I have been lifted up into such a relationship with Him. I rely, lean and depend upon Him for all things.

Now, I am in the right position with God I can pray in Jesus name and in His nature I expect Him to answer me for my great expectations are in Him and not in me. Thank You Jesus, for being there for me. Amen.

At that time you won’t need to ask Me for anything, for you can go directly to the Father and ask Him, and He will give what you ask for because you use My name. (John 16:23 NLB)

Prayer

O my precious Lord, I will not need to ask You for anything, for I can go directly to the Father and ask Him, and He will give me what I ask for because I use Your name. I am so thankful and grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ, for He is the Son of God and He has set me free to be in a relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit the Triune God and I am thankful for everything they have done for me in Christ Jesus.

Father, I leave all of the details of my family and friends to You as I am unable to do anything more for them but pray for them.

I choose to be in Your will and I surrender entirely to the Trinity and the God-head in Jesus Christ’s precious name. I shall walk in faith and not by sight. I don’t need to ask You anything – because I am certain that You, O God, will reveal the things You want me to know in accordance to Your Sovereign will.

I have the faith and peace of Jesus Christ reigning within my heart, with His attitudes I will follow Him as He counsels me through the Holy Spirit of God. I look to my inner nature and I submit to the life of Jesus Christ, and do things the way He wants me to do. He will make my understanding perfectly clear, and I have come to the place where there is no distance between my Father and me. I am His child because through the Lord Jesus Christ, He has made me One with Him for the glory, praise and honour of His kingdom and name. Amen.

Keep My Thoughts

Reading: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6

“We have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

Prayer

O my beloved God, You keep my thoughts. I ask You to bring all my thoughts into captivity in obedience to Christ Jesus. Bring me Your plans, and I will follow them so the outcome of those plans will be determined by You. By carrying out Your will please let my partnership, friendship, and total dependence upon Jesus Christ grow in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. I will make and apply every effort and completely submit to Christ with total obedience in my relationship with Him. I need Your help to act in a godly way so Your plans will be fulfilled in me. I live for You. I ask for Your guidance. May Your plans come alive once again in me. I trust You further whilst in my walk with God. You examine my heart, and You know all my motives. Let the motives be all You want them to be. I ask You to make Your plans succeed for me as You determine the steps I take in Christ. Amen.

Lessons To Be Learnt

We should have our thoughts and minds under the control of God. We are weak human beings, but we do not need to use human plans and methods to win our battles. God’s mighty weapons are available to us to fight against Satan’s (the enemy’s strongholds). Being Christians we must choose whose methods we want to use: God’s weapons or the world’s? God has assured us of His mighty weapons of prayer, faith, hope, and love. God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, is powerful and effective. These weapons can break down any proud human arguments against God. The walls that Satan builds are to keep God’s people from a relationship with Jesus Christ, and he wants them to be tempting to us to use our own methods instead of relying upon God. Trusting God in faith is the only way to live your life here on earth. He is a faithful and true God to those who believe in Him. As one’s faith and trust increases you will see clearly God is faithful and trustworthy to those who put their confidence and trust in faith in Him.

God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1 TLB)

Prayer

Father God, thank You for being my refuge and strength, a very present help in all my times of trouble. Thank You for Your amazing grace which is my help. Thank You I will never be too proud to ask You for the help that I need. Thank You for the gift and seal of ownership You have placed to live inside of me through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. I know apart from Him I could not experience Your divine provisions for me.

Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ to die for me and saving me from all my sins. I thank Him for taking my sin debt and paying it in full on the Cross of Calvary. He was pierced for my transgressions, He was crushed for my iniquities, the punishment that brought peace to my heart He took upon Himself, and by His wounds and stripes I am forever healed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I accept and receive His unconditional love and grace and His unlimited compassion for my life. Jesus, You can sympathize with me. You can identify with my weaknesses, my fears, my anxieties and worries. You are not distant, cold, nor are You detached from me. I shall stand strong in Your grace. Receive Your help. Relax in Your acceptance. Bask in Your compassion. Yes, I shall surely rest in Your grace for You are with me forever and ever in Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.
