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

The paradox is that most Christians, who discipline themselves in other areas of their life in order to be successful – like job or carrier, do not believe they need to be disciplined in the area of godliness. We are talking about good Christians who are faithful members of the Church of the Living God. These are people who love God’s Word and often are very enthusiastic about the work of God. But because of the lack of discipline they do not reach their potential in God’s Kingdom.

It is true that ministry transforms us into the likeness of God. Since God is graceful and compassionate in His essence, then we His children should be able to show to others the grace and compassion of our Heavenly Father and we do that by serving other people. Earlier on, we already mentioned that God’s desire is to transform us into the image and the likeness of Christ so that we can begin to reflect the quality of character that Jesus had. It was Christ who came to reveal God to us so that we can follow in His steps. We know that changes automatically do not occur; changes or transformation happen only as we implement the laws and principles of God into our life. Ministry is one tremendous way we can do that; it is one of the many tools, God uses to mold and transform us into likeness of Christ.

Heaven is the place from which Jesus rules and reigns over everything. What God says about us in His Word is the truth which we must believe. Now we have God’s nature in us and it must be continually fed and nurtured. We must believe that now we have heavenly authority and power that was given to us in order to destroy the works of devil on earth. That is what Jesus did when He walked on the planet earth: He destroyed and undo the works and intentions of the devil. He set an example for us to follow in His foot steps:«For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8b).

First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognise the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. Though, when a revelation and wisdom are received from God, you have to write them down in whole. Then it becomes a spring of life, that gives breathe to you and brings hope that releases faith and trust on God in you.To write something down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. Thus, we can bring our vision into reality, so that we can expect it and put our hopes upon. This is one of the methods how to cling with the vision together and dedicate yourself to fulfil it. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.

God has a way. He does not force Himself on people; He is the God of order. Until there will be a way prepared for God, He won’t come. Many of us would like for God to come, but He does not come without proper preparation. God goes where people are ready for His visitation. And when God comes, then all barriers are cast aside, the desert starts blooming, the mountains and hills are brought down, the valleys will be filled, the crooked places are made straight and the rough places are made smooth. God can show us the great picture of what He wants to do among us and through us as His people or the Church. But it will take a serious preparation and it will require of us to be very responsible.

Everything that bothers us can be brought to God in prayer.«Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus» (Philippians, 4:6-7).
