PRAY WITH REVERENT SUBMISSION

During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up PRAYERS and PETITIONS with FERVENT CRIES and TEARS to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of REVERENT SUBMISSION. Hebrews 5:7

We are still looking at how Jesus composed himself when he offered prayers to God whilst on earth.

He petitioned God through prayers with fervent cries and tears knowing it's God alone who could save him. Jesus didn't go out there telling people his problems and asking them to keep him in prayers. He prayed himself. We can ask people to keep us in prayers but we have the greatest responsibility to keep ourselves in prayers.

Heaven heard Jesus' prayers because of his reverent  submission. He submitted to the authority of God with all respect. He prayed with no doubt in his mind. Respect the authority of God in prayers by believing that he hears you and he will deliver according to his will when you pray.

We can also pray just as Jesus did.

IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF...

14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15. The Most High God, the Everlasting and Final Judge adjudicated our case by reviewing evidence tendered by Jesus and the Devil. The devil said, the wages of sin is death, your children have sinned and they deserve eternal punishment in hell. Jesus said, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through me (Jesus). I came to save the world from sin and to give them life. God's judgement: It's true my children have sinned against me, for the sake of my love for them, i sent my only begotten son to save them from their sin. Now, IF they will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will forgive them and heal the...

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE SPREAD OF THE WORD

We are living in a generation where God has made it easy to spread his word across the world. Technology has come to aid the spread of the gospel. I have had an engagement with people who think social media platforms are evil and are inspired by the devil to take captive many souls. Personally, I do not think so. Creativity and innovation come from God. The devil doesn't create or innovate but he destroys what has been created by God. Do you know the devil quoted the bible wrongly to tempt Jesus? I mean whatever good thing God has made, the devil finds one way or the other to make it look bad. He did it to the word of God against Jesus and to man against God so it should not be a surprise if the devil tries to make social media look unattractive to Christians. With the aid of social media today, it doesn't cost as much as it cost the early Apostles to spread the word. Let's utilize all the channels available to let the world know about Christ and his love. God created thes...

LEARNING THE SECRET OF SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION

Scriptures: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength". Philippians 4:12-13 EXPOSITION The secret to sailing through every situation with great joy and peace is Christ. If you are aware that in Christ you have been blessed with all the heavenly blessings required for your physical and spiritual survival, you will always learn to draw your strength from him in every situation. Apostle Paul learned to live above his situation because his live hinged on Jesus (the gospel). To some when they have plenty then the Lord is good. The Lord is bad, wicked, uncaring, heartless when situations do not work out according to plan, when they fall sick or run out of basic needs in life. Don't let your situation dictate how you serve God rather let God dictate how you treat y...
