Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!

Dear children of God, I greet you in our column “Daily Word for Spiritual Strength”! Our God is alive and He wants His children to be reborn through the truth of God’s Word and fellowship with Him.Today, I would like to show to you what happens in human life when prayer becomes their main priority. We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible! If prayer is not the priority of the church life, then the church will not be able to fulfil God´s vision; in such case we just walk along the same circle. We believe that in this church and through this church, God wants to do mighty things. But we can strive to do these things ourselves, relying on ourselves, and the result will be a complete disappointment. In John 15:5, Jesus said,
“… apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Let us say it loud, “Without God I can do nothing!” Many people often say, “Without God I can do nothing!” But it is only half from the truth. Jesus says that you can not do anything only when you do it without God. If you are with God, then you can, you can everything. In Philippians 4:13, Paul says:
 “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”
 If I am in God, if I am with Him, and if I am with His power, then I can do all. It is true! Say it aloud: “Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!” If we study the history of the church, where there is a real awakening, where people repent, and the church is growing, we certainly will see that it is a praying congregation. Very often, we want something that others have, but we do not know what price they paid for it. The fruit of the lives of many believers are attractive, and we want something similar. We think that, if they managed it, I must manage it too, and we start practicing it. I was reading a story. A man saw that his neighbour gathered a great harvest of potatoes. He thought, „What a great harvest he has! I want one like that too!” He decided that the next year he was going to grow potatoes too. He did that, he planted potatoes and started to wait for the harvest. When the time for harvest came, the man went to his field and saw that the field was overgrown with weeds and there was no harvest. He thought to himself: “It does not work!” What was his mistake? He saw that the neighbour had a harvest, but did not learn what the neighbour did to get such a good harvest. He wanted to get what was his neighbour had, but he was disappointed with the result.God does not want us to experience frustration. Therefore, the prayer has to become one of the main priorities of our lives. We have to stop doing God´s work in our own strength. Prior to our ministry, there must be a prayer, prayer is a must before any work, and only then our life will be full of joy and fruit. This is God´s calling to us today! May the Lord bless you!Until tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye
