The Character Of God pt:2

In our daily walks of live, we encounter what is describe as the
silence of God, that is when prayer goes unanswered . Have
you ever walked down that path before. May be that is not a
valid ed questions, because  that is a major theological discourse
and conflicts we all share.Tell me about it, who as not been there?
God seemly unkind action.

You will quickly agree with me, we often shed better tries, hearts
quell in sorrows, and the evil one  said " I tell you so" he just do
not care.. Now he wants us to call time out on God. if we do, to
who then do we pray to? I think am hearing the Lord's disciple
saying, Lord! to who should we go to now, when you are the only
hope that we have, and the true is, there is no one else.

The true is, God always answered prayer. We are delighted when
he answered our prayers in the affirmative, yes! but no, wait, not
now. You see, on the contrary, no, wait not now, is still in the
affirmative, for God's character dictate  that he be true to who
he is. No, wait, do not  contradict what the bible  stated by
saying that "He will grant the desire of our heart ".

As Christian, whatever live path take us, we are called to trust
under any situation. We been given 365 days for the year, 24 hour
for the day, 12 months for the year, 1444 minutes for the day, and
is allotted to us to trust.There in the confidence he is working all out
for his glory and our good.

It gets very hard here, isn't ? Lord have mercy. Let me encourage you, as
well as myself. When God is silence in whatever the time frame is, try to
understand the dynamic of your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,
it will prove helpful in sustain g faith. The self-revelation of God in all of
his attitudes is one of dependable. He who is, was, and will be is
Jehovah-Jireh, the one who provides for his people ( Gen: 22:14 ).
( Ref: Ps: 90:1,2, 23:1-6, Rev: 1:4,8; 4:8, 1 Thess:5:17; Ps: 37:3-5 ).

That is my take for today, be bless, have a good day, see you next time.

The Character of God pt:1

The character of God revealed to us that  he can be known, hence the know-ably  of God. My focus here is in the light of what the bible say of him. On an that note, since he can be known, and  is known, there is the definitive possibility of a God who answered our prayers. In answer to our prayers, our relationship to him through the Lord Jesus Christ is base upon his word.

Now that lead me to this, his faithfulness. Faithful to the promises of his word. God fulfilled what he said he will do, and he will do more abundantly than that which we are capable of asking according to his will.
Are we not his children? sure we are. His love is a revealed love, since it is revealed in us the recipient of his grace and mercies, he answered prayer. God's character is ever reassuring, his love and care for us is a never failing one. So in coming to him in prayer, we can humbly say " Our father which are heaven" ( Ref: Matt:6:9, Lam:3:23, 1 Thess:5:24, 2Thess:3:3,Heb:6:18, Num: 23:19, John 4:24.

for now, that is my take for today, and remember our motto: " Think critically and pray strategically", have a bless day.

A labor of love.

As you begin to read through the writing of
Paul, you quickly realize the weight and depth
of his prayer live. I recall not long ago a statement
heard  that a " Man is not greater than his prayer
live. How remarkable that is

In the story here, it is so revealing, particularly his
to the Colossians Christian, where with other
fellow ministers , " cease not to pray" for them.
The desire need of their prayer were " That ye
( The Colossians ), might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding . That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God . Strengthen with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness." ( Col:9-11 ).

It is so important to see, and capture the essence of the whole story here. The dynamic , the bound ,the calling ford a relational-ship in prayer for other, to desire there well being in faith.
 A nurturing, and the maturity in the living out of relationships, in manner that is benefited to them as individual, more so as a community of believer. Make no mistake about this, life is 
 hard suffering and of such along the path way,  prayer is indeed a labor of love.My encouragement to you, and so for myself, be not weary in prayer, it is   a  labor of love.Stay with it, see it through, until God shows up, and do what only he can do, answer prayer. Have a good and godly day, and remember," Think critically and pray strategically."

The dark places of prayer


Could it be you are in a dark place
of your prayer live? That is your
pressing place right now, 21 days
and counting.Here is a reminder
that God as not forgotten you. The
bible story of Daniel comes to mine
and how God came to his rescued
by sending the angel to released open
heavens gate if you will. Verse 12 of
chapter 10. ' Then said he unto to me.
Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand , and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Verse 13, But the prince of the Kingdom of Persia withstood me"  Are you been withstood by the princes of  Persia, spiritually speaking? stay the course, and focus. At your pressing place, you need to press through. At the moment of your greatest need, is the moment of your greatest opportunity. Your, hope, the expectancy of that  prayer request lies in God, who is the source.  In order for your victory, my victory to be experiences in the nature, we must won in the spirit., so hold fast, and so doing, listen to what the Spirit is saying through the word into your spirit.

Here in closing, see Jesus at his pressing place of prayer asking of the Father i n heaven. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone cast, and keeled down, and prayed saying, Father: if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more
 earnestly  and his swear was as it was great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
And when he arose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow (Luke  22:41-45. K.J.V.) 

I do hope you been bless,  go on with God in faith, it is the realm of possibilities. Remember our
motto is " Think critically and pray strategically."
