Prayer

I have been in relationships where communication was a big challenge. I can admit it didn't end well. You see, communication is key to every relationship for it goes both ways for the mutual benefit of those involved in the relationship.


Now as christians, we have a relationship with our father, our God.

And the question is:

How often do you speak to Him? How often do you tell Him what's bothering you? How often do you pray?


The truth is that God is always speaking to us. In fact He is speaking to you now as you're reading this for he uses all means in the world to speak to you. The obvious and the most distinct way he uses to speak to us is through His word! He also uses people;his people to speak to us, among other ways.


Ephesians 6:18

Do this all in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occasion as the spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up;pray always for all God's people.


Philippians 4:6

Don't worry about anything,but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart


Prayer is how us who are born of God communicate with our father. And we also ought to know how to pray.

Jesus our LORD taught us how to pray when he prayed the LORD' s prayer.

Matthew 6:9-13

Then this is how you should pray:

Our father in heaven: may your holy name be honored; may your kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need. Forgive us of the wrongs we have done ,as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.

Do not bring us to hard testing but keep us safe from the Evil one.


1. We should first exalt the father and acknowledge his glory and his majesty.


2. Then ask for his will upon your life to be done hear on earth as it is in heaven;

Proverbs 16:1

We may make our plans but God has the last word.


3. Ask for his providence:He is your father and he will provide.

Matthew 6:31

So don't start worrying 'where will my food come from? Or my drink? Or my clothes? Your father in heaven knows that you need all these things.


4. Ask for the forgiveness of your sins and also forgive others!


5. Pray that you may be kept safe from the evil one:

Ephesians 6:12

For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers of this dark age.


Pray at all times and on every occasion for it is you communicating with your maker and asking him all that you need and also giving thanks and praising and worshiping his Holy and precious name.


Remember, he is always speaking to us...open your heart to receive him and you will commune with him.

Truth:The belt of the armour

John 14:6 Jesus answered Him,"I am the way the truth and the life:no one goes to the Father except through me." Are you born again? Have you accepted Jesus as the LORD of your life? Have you confessed in your heart that Jesus Christ is the saviour and the true vine? Have you received the Spirit of God? Being born again is believing in Jesus Christ. It is believing in the one who God sent John 6:29 Jesus answered,"What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent." Since Jesus is the bread of life, anyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. Two things happen immediately you believe in Jesus: -You receive the Holy Spirit -You receive eternal life To receive the Holy Spirit, you must have faith in Jesus and also have faith in the Father and believe that God raised Him to life. It is through faith that we are made right with God. Our deeds can never earn it. Romans 5:1 Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through...

The bare minimum - Part 2:Holiness

Isaiah 1:19-20 "If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Meaning that yes you can be saved but if you don't obey what God has instructed us to do then we won't escape. God is the one who has called us to live holy lives. He has called us to repent and turn away from sin. If we do not obey what God has told us to do then we become rebels. We are not sinners but rebels. And the word of God says that both will be slain by the sword. A people that have been saved and call themselves christians but still go on living in sin, That is the fallen church. The adulterous church that is engaging with the things of the world. This fallen church will not be taken up during rapture! It is the holy church that has separated itself from the world and from sin which will get to go to heaven during rapture. * * * In that word of scripture that say...

The train of salvation

The train set off to begin its journey millennia ago, since the beginning of time. The train with infinite coaches always departing and yet it never really leaves. The train meant to carry everyone awaits for you to climb aboard. The train is in motion yet still stationary to allow anyone who wants to board to jump in. Once aboard, your coach leaves; you're called to pay attention to the journey and the destination. If attention is not paid, you begin running through the coaches back to the boarding station. Be careful not to lose focus. Be cautious that you don't end up running back to the station. For if you do it long enough, then I'm afraid you'll at one point have to alight and getting back on is not as easy as you did before. Let's say you didn't lose your focus, let's say you continued to pay attention. The journey is beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and the destination gleaming with a glorious light. You have to remember that the train has its ...
