Petition

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear readers, on this wonderful day! Every day God makes all things anew, and His mercies have been renewed for us this morning!We are still reviewing elements of effective prayer. We have established that effective prayer includes worship and thanksgiving, as well as cooperation with God. We also discussed the things we can pray for. Today let’s look at other parts of effective prayer.The next element of effective prayer is request or petition. We can pray for our needs.
«Give us this day our daily bread» (Mathew, 6:11).
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).
We also can pray for other people.
 «..pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much» (James, 5:16).
Also we can ask God for wisdom.
«If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him» (James, 1:5).
Unfortunately, not all people are willing admit that they lack wisdom.We can pray for prosperity as well. It is good and right, on a condition that you bring God your tithe and offerings. Ask God to bless your giving and reward you according to His Word.
 «Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, „if I will not open for you the Windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it» (Malachi, 3:16).
Pray for God to bless the work of your hands and give you opportunity to help other people. If you have a lot of money, then help other people, because God has blessed you with money not just for meeting your own needs, but also to meet the needs of others.
«Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers» (3 John, 2).
This is an example of prayer you can pray.Till tomorrow!May God abundantly bless every one of you today!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Today I would like to talk to you about the preparation of the way of the Lord. The preparation of the way precedes the coming of the Lord. Our readiness to meet God determines the actual experience with God. If we are not ready, we will be left outside of what God is doing. But if we are adequately prepared, we will be qualified to experience the visitation of the Lord. Let’s look the Scripture.

    We are talking about the importance of knowing and doing God’s will. Yesterday we talked about the fact that God reveals His plans and intentions to us gradually as we reach particular levels of maturity and grow in our ability to accept what He has prepared for us. We also established that God reveals His will to those who are close to Him, seek His will and are willing to do His will. God looks at what we do with what we already know, and only then He will reveal the next part of His plan for our lives.

    Fear paralyzes and limits a person, takes away his strength and courage for going forward; it does not allow person’s talents and gifts to come out on the surface. Fear steals person’s faith in God. A wicked heart makes a person selfish and stains his motives. Such a person is alienated from the true understanding of responsibility for his words and actions. He lives according to the principle “I do not owe a thing to anybody; everybody owes me!»

    «Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.» (Romans 10:1-4).Today may people are saying they love God and believe in Him, while staying ignorant to His righteousness and living according to their own righteousness. Therefore, they blame God for being unjust to them when facing problems and distress in their life.
