Never stop praying...no matter what!

 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Never stop praying.

Prayer is our communication channel, with God. We get to interact with Him, through prayer. We bring all petitions to Him, we bring thanks and come in agreement with Him, through prayer. It is part of our lives, more like a lifestyle. We stay in conversation with Him to get guidance, where we are not sure. Life is full of choices and to get the best counsel, we need to check with Him.

Take Daniel for instance, in the book of Daniel in the bible. His life was put in danger simply because of his faith in God, His belief system and His routine. Regardless of a decree by the king, for everyone to worship only him (after he was advised by men that were jealous of Daniel), Daniel continued with what he knew best- prayed 3 times a day. He prayed without ceasing, and that got him into trouble and was thrown into the lion's den. However, because God knew his heart, He knew Daniel was innocent and in fact, Daniel showed good character and proved his faith and love for God; God protected him. This proves to show that God sees everything and all He expects of us, is to continue doing the right thing, even when the wrong thing is happening in us and around us. He will do what He promised to do, to be with us in that difficulty (like He was with Daniel in the den) and He will deliver us, just like He delivered Daniel from the lions. 

Some of the lessons from Daniel is the frequency of praying. There's no right or wrong in how many times, but what's important is to show God you have not forgotten Him, you acknowledge Him in your day and activities, that you give Him your attention, no matter how crazy your day may be. He sees your efforts and He will come through for you. Use the tool/weapon that God has given you, to converse with God, bring your worries to Him, to destroy the plots of the enemy, to change your situation and so much more. He is your Father! And He cares...

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
