Release Your Heart to God in prayer

Release your heart to God in prayer


“And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou didst break. And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.” Exodus 34:1–2


You must sever your heart from whatever it is attached to and present it to God regularly in prayer so that He may reveal His words and counsels to you and send you to His people in obedience.


God is never in a hurry to send anyone He has called. His first engagement with a man is to introduce that man to Himself in prayer and to establish prayer as the highest priority in his ministry. If you are not available to God in prayer, He will not give you a platform among His people. If God does not know you in His presence, He will not make your voice known in the congregation.


You must detach your heart from anything that competes with your allegiance to God. When you come into His presence, present your heart wholly to Him so that He may speak to you and send you to His people. Release your heart to God in prayer so that He may fellowship with it, inscribe His instructions upon it, and conceive His purpose within it.


Your appearance before God amounts to nothing if your heart is withheld. It becomes a waste of time if your heart is elsewhere while you are in prayer. Your heart will be the first recipient of whatever God intends to do in the church and in the world; therefore, it must be fully available in prayer and not distracted.


You must be known by God as one who dwells in His presence before He can send you to His people. You must be recognised in heaven as a man who stands before God before you can stand before men as His spokesman. Those whom God sends as His oracles are always men and women devoted to prayer. They prioritise communion with God above public service for God.


The one whom God sends is sent from His presence and carries the fragrance of that presence wherever he goes. Everyone who encounters his life and ministry will testify that he has been with God—and that God is with him.


God will test your patience in the place of prayer to see whether you are in a hurry. So, you must be content to be alone with God before He entrusts you with influence among men. You must be satisfied with His presence before He grants you a platform.


You must first become an offering to God in the place of prayer before He makes you His offering to the world.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
