Not only prayer helps us enter God’s presence, it is a source for godly revelations

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dear friends,

I am glad to welcome you to our column „Daily Word for Spiritual Strength”!

God wants to manifest His mighty presence in our lives! And, as we have been talking about, it is impossible to experience God’s presence without prayer.

Today, I would like to talk even more specifically about prayer. Not only does prayer help us enter God’s presence, it is a source of godly revelations.

We saw that the secret of Moses’ success as a leader was the fact that he spent time with God. Moses became closer to God in his prayer and God became closer to him. Godly revelation is the fruit of such intimacy with God.

Because Moses was with God, he heard from heaven, and it helped him be successful.

“The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction.” (Exodus 24:12)

Moses received messages from God because he spent time with Him.

If you want to be an effective servant of God, whatever the quality of your ministry may be, you must learn to receive messages from God.

God knows the needs of the people whom you serve. He will always give you fresh manna so that the people whom you serve may be fed and encouraged every day. If you want to be a successful Christian, allow God to give you a fresh word from heaven every day. Then you will always be fresh and fruitful.

Moses continually heard from heaven; God talked to him face to face, like with a friend, because Moses was striving to be closer to God.

“The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.” (Exodus 33:11)
“He said, “Listen to My words: “When a prophet of the LORD is among you, I reveal Myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. But this is not true of My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD.” (Numbers 12:6-8a)

God spoke to Moses face to face, not in riddles and visions. Moses could clearly distinguish when it was God speaking and when not.

If Moses was able to become closer to God, then why should we not do the same?

If prayer is a source of godly revelations, then wisdom requires that anyone who is thirsty for His revelations approach God in prayer.

We shall continue tomorrow!

May God richly bless you and give you a revelation about the importance of prayer!

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.

    Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.

    «But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses» (1Timothy, 6:11-12).We say that these three things help us to lay hold on eternal life. We also established that eternal life has its beginning on earth when we get to know the only true God and His Son Jesus Christ.

  • Forget not all His benefits!

    Many of us do not thank God as we ought to, because we do not purposely keep in mind what God has done or is doing for us. We forget because we do not write it down. When I was a teenager, we often sang a song that said: «Count your blessings! Name every one of them, one after another, and you will be amazed at what the Lord has done!» I advise every one of you to record every miracle and every blessing that God does in our lives. You can use different methods: either modern technologies or simple writing.
