A habit is a powerful thing that either hinders us from getting to our goals or helps us and moves in the right direction!

Greetings to you, dear friends! Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!Yesterday we talked about the fact that we must put our prayer life in order, since prayer is the foundation of our success in God’s kingdom.If you will get your prayer life in order, you will witness amazing changes that God will make in your life. You can’t even imagine the things the Holy Spirit does when He steps into our lives. He comes to do the will of God on the earth and in your life so Jesus could be exalted. The Holy Spirit comes when we pray. God accepts and loves us always. We haven’t done anything to deserve God’s love and His salvation. So God does not love us because of what we do for Him; He loved even when we were yet sinners. Yes, God loves us no matter what! But His love also moves us forward, out of our present condition. God’s love desires to transform our lives, to see them more fruitful. God’s love desires to change your life for better. God tells us to make prayer a priority in our lives. We must get serious about it.Say to God: «Lord Jesus, help me! I want to make prayer a part of my daily life. I want to see a breakthrough in prayer.»If we consider what God has said about prayer, we see that it is no joke. There must come a moment of change in the life of every one of us, when prayer becomes as important to us as it was to Jesus.Do you have any habits? A habit is a powerful thing that either hinders us from getting to our goals or helps us and moves in the right direction. There are habits that need to be removed from our lives, but then there are others that need to be developed.One of the important habits that we need to develop is to pray daily. Prayer must become habitual. God desires to teach us how to forsake bad habits and to develop good ones.Some people have a habit of wasting time. They may know that they need to pray, what they need to pray about, what prayer does etc, but they still don’t pray because they seem to lack the time, since they waste their time on wrong, unfruitful things – TV, computer, telephone conversations and so on. We must make an effort and find the time to pray.
«See then that you walk circumspectly, no as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:15-17).
God’s will is that men would always pray and not lose heart!May this word open the door for changes in your life.We will continue tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Faith without love is not biblical faith!

    If you have faith, but do not have love, then, according to Paul, you are “sounding brass and a clanging cymbal” and you are “nothing”. Faith without love does not work. That is why it is so important to learn to walk in love. Otherwise our hearts won’t be able to go through the last day attacks.

  • Why do people choose to be irresponsible? IV

    «Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction, but he who regards a rebuke will be honoured» (Proverbs, 13:18).When an individual does not accept correction and advice, then it makes it difficult to help him to become more responsible. As we have mentioned before, an irresponsible person always considers himself to be right; in his opinion he never errs and because of it he has a hard time accepting reprimand and correction. If a person has come to a point when nobody can speak into his life, then downfall of such a person is practically inevitable.
  • The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled

    What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.

  • How some people sins caused pain and suffering in other people

For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.».

There would be much less tears on Earth if people took care for each other instead of seeking their own benefits.
  • Organization of effective prayer life III

    Prayer is getting close to God.Let’s look at James (4:8): «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…».Prayer means to consciously draw near to God. Prayer means to approach God on purpose.Who of you wants to draw near to God? Who of you desires for God to draw near to you? God cannot be closer to you than He is. But you can draw near to Him. God is so close to us; He says: „I am here!” You are asking: «God, where are You?” Remember when Elijah ran away and cried: «God, where are You?” But God was with him. God is everywhere! And we can draw near to Him through prayer.
