PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Put pressure on the devil!

Prayer isn’t voluntary to the child of God; it’s a
compulsory spiritual activity. We discover many times from the scriptures how
the Lord Jesus Christ separated Himself from the people to pray. He also used
several parables to teach the people,
“……..that men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).
Throughout the scriptures, much emphasis was placed on the place of prayer in
the life of a Christian.

Every time you spend time to pray, you’re actually putting
pressure on the devil. Too often, many wait until the pressure comes to them
before they pray. I discover that the reason some Christians go through
terrible ordeals in their lives is that they don’t set themselves to pray early
enough. You don’t have to wait until the devil meets you on your dinner table
before you deal with him. Counter his advances ever before he gets to your door
step.

The challenge with many people is they are too lazy to pray.
A man ran into a church crying for help hysterically. “Please pray for me” he
cried “My pregnant wife is in the intensive care unit.” He had nine months to
pray but he didn’t pray. Now he wants emergency prayers. This is why many go
around looking for “Success formula”. It’s like the student who had five months
to prepare for his exams but failed to prepare. Then, on the night before his
exams he began praying to God for help; he took to prayer late.

We’re living in an age where everybody wants everything
fast. There are fast-foods, fast-cars, jet planes, super-computers, and so on.
Now, we want to put God into the same fast-lane and so we inadvertently pray “Fast prayers” for instant results. All
we want to know is how to push some buttons and have God respond quickly.
That’s wrong! Get serious with your life today and make the right changes for
your spiritual development! Amen!

CONFESSION

I am not lazy to pray
nor would I give up on prayer. I refuse to be at satan’s mercy, instead as I
pray, I set up force field that puts pressure on him and his evil devices. And
through my prayer life, I maintain this advantage over him in Jesus Christ’
Name! Amen!

PRAYER OF SALVATION.BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN! A CHILD OF GOD!

Dear Heavenly Father! I come to You in the Name of Jesus
Christ Your only begotten Son. Your Word says, “…..whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts
2:21).

I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart to be the Lord of
my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved,” I am saved; I am born-again; I am a child
of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is in me than
he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the consciousness of my
new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

If you have just said this prayer with me CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a child
of God.

You are now seated above all principality and power and
might and dominion, and every name that is named (failure, poverty, sickness, infirmities,
limitations, lack, diseases, fear)not only in this age but also in that which
is to come with Christ Jesus Our personal Lord and Saviour.  Amen! (Ephesians 1:15-23)

Receive power to succeed in every area of your life. Study your
Bible diligently and meditate in it day and night (Joshua 1:8).

And lastly, don’t forget the fellowship of the Saints; prayerfully
find and belong to a Bible – faith believing Church and watch God fulfil all
His Word concerning You!

Congratulations!!!!

Holy Spirit is With You Forever

And I will pray the Father, and He
shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever (John
14:16).

Some Christians
think the Holy Spirit sometimes goes on a break, or takes a recess just because
at such times they didn’t “feel” His presence. You don’t have to “feel” God to
know that He’s with you. Rather, you ought to know that He’s with you always,
because the Word says so. Jesus said, “…….and,
lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew
28:20). He didn’t say, “I’m with you only
when you can “feel” that I am.” Many have reduced their experience of Christianity
to the carnal realm of feeling, and that’s so wrong, for we walk by faith and
not by sensory perceptions (2 Corinthians 5:7).

But you
might want to ask, “What if someone, having received the Holy Spirit at the New
Birth, backslides and feels that the Holy Spirit has left him or her, is this
just a feeling or was the Holy Spirit actually frustrated with all the sin in
such a person?” Well, God is not a man (Numbers 23:19), and He doesn’t act like
some earthly parents who wouldn’t relate with their kids for doing something
wrong. Sadly, this is the poor perception of God that some folks have.

That you did
something wrong won’t make the Holy Spirit leave you. Remember, you weren’t
made right with God because of your own righteousness; it came because God gave
you His righteousness. Thus, His presence with you isn’t dependent on what you
did right or wrong, or the way you feel. His presence is dependent on His
infallible Word; because of His love! That’s the reason He’ll never leave you
nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Read again
the words of Jesus in our opening verse, He said”And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
that He may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). God the Father, through
the Holy Spirit abides with you forever, not sometimes. Don’t consider what
your feelings tell you. As long as you haven’t wilfully rejected Christ and His
sacrifice of salvation for you on the Cross, the Holy Spirit cannot and will
not leave you!

Even when
you err and start feeling as though the Holy Spirit has left you, it’s still
the Holy Spirit who guides you unto repentance, proving His presence with you
even at such times. If He left you, you could never return to Him! But He
wouldn’t, for He’s with you to fulfil His ministry in your life, till Jesus
comes. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

PRECIOUS LORD, I THANK
YOU FOR THE RICH FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH I ENJOY LAVISHLY TODAY,
AND FOREVER. WHAT JOY TO KNOW THAT I’M ORDAINED INTO THIS WONDERFUL UNION AND
FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU FOR ETERNITY! AMEN!

The Holy Spirit Your Helper.

AND I WILL ASK THE
FATHER, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER (CONUNSELLOR, HELPER,
INTERCESSOR, ADVOCATE, STRENGTHENER, AND STANDBY), THAT HE MAY REMAIN WITH YOU
FOREVER (JOHN 14:16 AMP).

The Holy
Spirit wants you to know that He is your Helper. Therefore, you don’t have to
face any difficult situation alone. Three Hebrew boys; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
were thrown into the fiery furnace, but they were unhurt because they weren’t
alone. There was a fourth man with them in the fire. That fourth man was the
Helper amidst the trouble and He is the Holy Ghost.

The Holy
Spirit is your spiritual Helper and He can do much more than your mind can
fathom (Ephesians 3:20). He can help you out of any situation. He’s your
Standby. He’s always there for you at anytime of the day; for He neither
slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4).

Though the
fire raged, yet, the fire had no power over the bodies of the three Hebrew
boys, “….nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed,
nor the smell of fire had passed on them” (Daniel 3:27). I want you to realize
that the Holy Ghost wasn’t just standing like a monument; rather, He was
already working ever before the boys were thrown into the fiery furnace.

If you’re
going through fire right now; it may be in your finances, body, academics,
marriage or business, I want you to know God has big plans for you and He’s
already working on it. He has given you the “super-duper” Holy Ghost as your
Helper. Instead of seeking man’s help, turn your attention to Him and trust Him
for He never fails. He’s saying to you today, “when you go through deep waters
and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of
difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up – the flames will not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2 TLB).
Trust Him and He’ll bring you out of that trouble.

PRAYER

DEAR FATHER, I THANK
YOU FOR THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; HE’S MY COUNSELLOR, HELPER, INTERCESSOR, ADVOCATE,
STRENGTHENER, AND STANDBY. STRENGTHEN MY HEART AND STIR UP COURAGE WITHIN ME I
PRAY; THAT I MAY SET MY FOCUS ON HIM ALONE IN SPITE OF THE SITUATION AROUND ME,
IN JESUS CHRIST NAME, AMEN!

TODAY’S CHOICES FOR TOMORROW’S GREATNESS. GREATNESS.

TODAY’S CHOICES FOR TOMORROW’S GREATNESS.
Some people believe they have to be dishonest to prosper or be successful in life. That’s wrong! You don’t have to ride on other people’s backs or cheat to make ends meet. So, don’t fall into that worldly deception.
Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men…” (Matthew 5:16): He wants you to be worthy example of Himself; He wants you to set a good example for the rest of the world to see and follow. “Show men that there’s the right way of doing things” (Paraphrase mine) He says. If there’s a thing as a lie, it must mean there’s such a thing as truth. If there’s the counterfeit, it means there’s the genuine one. In other words, if there’s a dishonest way to have a prosperous life – which of course will get you into trouble – it must mean there’s also an honest way. Otherwise, dishonesty will cease to be dishonesty and become the right way to do things.
There are people who say that they live in the real world, and by that they mean the Word of God is too good to be true. Meanwhile, they’re suffering terribly; business is bad for them; money isn’t coming in as it should; everything is just upside down. That’s not from God. If that’s your experience about life I want you to know that you can change it. It doesn’t matter who gave birth to you. Even if you were abandoned in a garbage dump by your mother. You can no longer regard that, because you are now an adult. Your life now depends on your choices.
Life ought to be beautiful; life ought to be exciting. That’s the life that I have chosen because God gave us the options and He told us which one is better (Deuteronomy 30:19). Anybody can live a happy, successful, prosperous and victorious life. From the moment you received Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you became an heir to health and prosperity.
CONFESSION
My life is for the glory of God alone. Therefore , I refuse to engage in an activity of darkness. I choose to do only those things that’ll bring glory to the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
