This plan of mine is not what you would work out, neither are my thoughts the same as yours! (Isaiah 55:8 TLB)

Prayer

Father, I know that there is nothing on this earth that is a coincident. You are indeed in everything. Nothing is out of Your reach. Everything abides under Your controlling hand.

You have promised to work all things together within me into such a fashion that good comes out of it all. Nothing, that happens by chance with You, O God. You always have a purpose in mind when You allow me to be tested. Sometimes, it is to refine me. Sometimes, it is to draw me closer to You in my walk with You.

This plan of Yours for my life will work out. Whatever I have to face today I know You know exactly why You want me to go through this. For Your thoughts and ways are not my thoughts nor are my ways Your ways. 

My trust is completely in You. You will help me to become the person You created me to be as You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Your plans for my life will succeed. I continue to walk in obedience to Your perfect Sovereign Word and Will. May Your name be glorified, magnified and exalted through me forever and always in the precious name of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. May I always honour and please and glorify God in His sight through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

If we are living now by the Holy Spirit’s power, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. (Galatians 5:25 TLB)

Prayer

Father, I desire to live my life in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Let me follow Your Spirit’s leading in every single part of my life. I ask You for Your Wisdom, Insight, and Revelation to know You better. I ask You to enlighten me in order that I may know the hope within my heart with Your glory and presence leading me into Your perfect will.

I ask You to transform me and enable me to depend upon the Holy Spirit of God. I desire to depend and lean upon Him for all of my needs in everything I do. May I glorify and magnify the Lord my God through Jesus Christ my precious Lord.

Life is victorious for me. I abide and rest in and yield to the Spirit of God. He teaches me to pray, work, study, read and accept the responsibility that I am under the controlling hand of God. He has liberated me in the freedom through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. My faith is simplistic and I do believe that God will work out His divine purpose He has predestined and planned for my life in accordance to His perfect will. I shall continue to be submissive and walk with an obedient heart in the heart of Jesus Christ, now and forever more. Amen.

Centered upon Christ

Reading: Ephesians 1:9-10

“The mystery of His will.”

Prayer

O my beloved God, I shall centre my whole life upon Jesus Christ. Thank You for Your secret plan. I hold it close to my heart. You designed Your plan for me long ago in accordance to Your good pleasure. This is just one more reason why I should praise and worship the Lord my God. Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God. He chose us from the beginning, and all things happened just as He decided long ago. Your purpose was I was the first person within my family to trust in Christ and that I should praise our glorious God. I believe in Christ; He identified me as His own by giving me the Holy Spirit of God to live inside of me. The Spirit of God is God’s guarantee to me. He gives me everything He has promised me as He purchased me to be His own in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Lessons To Be Learnt

Our lives should be centered upon our Lord Jesus Christ. He teaches us at our conversion, step by step, how to draw closer to Him. We learn great and wonderful lessons through reading His Word and praying to God. God designs our lives, right from the very beginning as He did with Jesus. We were with Him in the very beginning even before we came and were born to the earth. This revelation helps us in our walk with God. He is the One who makes known the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ. God was not intentionally keeping His plan secret (“the mystery of His will”), but His plan for the world could not be fully understood until Christ rose from the dead. His purpose for sending Jesus was to unite us together in one body with Christ as the head. Many people still do not understand God’s plan but when the time is right (“when the times will have reached their fulfillment”), He will us together to be with Him forever.

You are Peter, a stone; and upon this rock I will build My church; and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18 TLB)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You, promised to build the church; and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it. I declare today: ‘I will never give up!’ No matter what path I travel, I ask You, Lord, to direct my steps and lead me on the path of righteousness, holiness and godliness. These paths will lead me straight to God through Jesus Christ. I will stand firm in my faith in You. I know You will deliver me through the trials and tribulations no matter whether those paths are rough or smooth. I know You will send Your angles and arch-angles to protect me and all my family in Jesus Christ’s name.

The victory is mine in Jesus Christ. You are my Inner Strength, my True Source of help in all my times of trouble I will draw my Strength from You.

I have made my choice and have decided to be a true and faithful follower of Jesus Christ, and follow the Way, the Truth and the Life which is hidden in Him. You will build Your church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against me.

You have given me the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and I shall use those keys wisely to honour, praise and glory of God through the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, my precious Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House Daily to Meet with Him in Prayer’ ‘Abandon to God’

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.
