Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
My greetings to you my dear friends! May the grace and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you!Yesterday we defined a habit as a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness.We also determined that in order to grow up by making your life in prayer effective, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer. You have to know what prayer is and and why you have to pray. You need this knowledge, since it will stimulate you to pray.The Bible says, that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. What shall I do when I feel my prayer doesn´t work well. Shall I read a book about upsurge and healing, or listen to a sermon about liberation from curse, maybe I should blame devil and demons for all failures of my praying life. It´s them who set obstacles for me. Quite often people blame devil for all failures in their life. When I listen to the sermons constantly focusing on satan and demons I ask myself, whom are we preaching and whom are we glorifying? Read gospels to see what Jesus said to the demon. He said: “leave him” then continued his way. It´s not a satan fault that you don´t practise praying.If you want to grow up in your life in prayer, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer, listen to the sermons about prayer and its benefits. Listen to the testimonies of those who practise praying and move away the conditions and problems they are surrounded by and grow up in God. People of prayer face many difficulties in their lives, but none of those was able to stop them. Why? They know how to pray, they know how to have fellowship with God, they never accept a negative answer. Such people are “hanging” on God. Read about it, broaden your knowledge base. The Bible should be the book we study the most among all other literature. Which one of you thinks he needs a breakthrough in his life in prayer. Trying to develop habits do one habit at a time, not many. Think about what is the most essential habit for you now. If, for example, you need to develop a habit of praying, do it. Practise it on regular basis for 20 days first, then for 3 or 6 months. Make sure you have en-grafted this habit into your daily life. Only then handle the next useful habit.We have to develop effective life in prayer – God is saying to us nowadays. God´s word is the word that brings up winners. It builds up a church the gates of hell shall not prevail against. That´s why our attitude to what God wants to brings to us through this message is so important.
“…but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2).
By virtue of prayer we keep our spirit contrite and broken before God, and feel trepidation about word of God.May the Lord bless you abundantly!See you tomorrow! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    Today God wants to tell us the same thing. The Word of God is life to us. When God sends us His Word, He offers us life. Rejecting the Word of God we reject life itself. Moses says about God’s Word: «For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life…»It is extremely important for us to appreciate the Word of God and not to treat it as something futile, – it is not like a song that we have listened to and then gone to do our own will. It should be to us like the greatest treasure. We have to value God’s Word, to hide it in our hearts, to appreciate it because it is life to us. God says that through the Word and through our right attitude towards it we can extend or prolong our days. Our attitude toward the Word determines whether we will extend our life or shorten it.

    This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity.

    We serve God by serving other people in His Name. To serve God actually means to serve other people in the Name of God or as the representative of God on the earth. It is to do good to others by meeting their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical or material needs as an act of our love for God.

    Many people do not understand the essence of faith. Faith brings progress into a person’s life. A person who believes God and lives by faith will not degrade; on the contrary, he will succeed and advance in his life. Faith lies at the basis of any progress in live, because it is faith that lifts us up and changes us for good. Have you noticed any obvious changes in your life since you got saved? If not, then there is something wrong with your faith.

  • Without certain changes in our lives we won’t be able to receive God’s vision

    The first thing God did to Abram was that He took him out of the tent, out of his comfort zone. While we stay within our comfort zone where we feel at ease, where we do not need to make an effort, where everything goes according to the habitual scenario, we are not able to see what God wants to show us. For this reason God often desires us to get out of our comfort zone, out of our routine lifestyle and for us to put forth some effort to expand our knowledge of the will of God for our life.
