REVELATION FOR RESTORATION Ephesians 3:1-5, Daniel 8:27.

 

The Lord delights in restoring the lost fortunes of His children. One of the method He uses is to reveal the identity and strategies of the thief to the victims. Revelation is a powerful instrument for restoration and breakthrough in every area of life.  Evidently; without revelation, restoration may be a mirage despite hardwork.

#testimony# 3sisters from the eastern part of Nigeria noticed that 7people out of 13members of their family died within 3months. Only the 3of them were born again. So they ran to a man of God to find out what was happening. The man of God prayed and saw a revelation that there was a tree planted in their compound were they plucked vegetables for food. But a fetish power had been planted underneath the tree. The idea was that anyone that ate its leaves would die. The man of God prayed again to know why the tree was poisonous and the Lord revealed to him that somebody with whom they were fighting over a land did it. Because he wanted to eliminate everybody so he will take over the land. The man of God then ask the Lord what could be done to save the situation. The Lord told him to pray that the fetish object planted under the tree should be uprooted. The people of God prayed and the tree dried to the root. As a result the problem stopped and nobody died again.

If they were not born again and had gone to seek redress through anyother means, they would have only ended up strengthening their enemy.

You must do everything only by divine revelation. Just like Paul the apostle shows in today's passage, receive divine guidance and let God make things known unto you by revelation.

THE REFRESHING DRINK Matt.5:6, Jn.7:37-38, Is.55:1.

 

It is highly rewarding to have passion for spiritual things. God is ready to fill His children's cup to overflowing. But, the problem is that a lot of people are not ready to receive what God wants to offer. The greatest problem among believers today is spiritual dryness. Revival comes when God's people are ready to go to the fountain of living water. Any serious Christian must have at least one or two days in a week for fasting and praying. The reason why you need to do this is to charge your batteries and get your cup filled over and over again. The enemies cannot catch you unawares, when you keep charging your batteries. 

 

7 WAYS TO RELIEVE STRESS

 

1. Admit There's a Problem

Those familiar with programs like AA will tell you the first step to recovery is owning up to the fact that a problem exists. And they are right.

This requires a lot of humility. Anxiety in particular can be hard to own up to because it makes us feel weak in an area where so many others appear to be strong. The temptation is to keep pushing and hope the anxiety goes away on its own.

As I learned the hard way, however, pushing through without addressing the problem can lead to an inevitable and ugly crash. I was dealing with anxiety for a very long time before I would acknowledge it. It wasn’t until I started having debilitating panic attacks that I finally admitted there was a problem.

Had I owned up to the problem sooner, I could have spared both myself and my family a lot of pain.

2. Stop Self-Medicating

Many who struggle with stress and anxiety develop their own ways of coping along the way. Some respond to stress by snacking constantly on junk food. Some drink to take the edge off. Others camp out in front of the television for hours on end.

None of these are healthy ways of dealing with stress and anxiety. Most of us intrinsically know this. What we don’t often realize, however, is that responding to stress in these ways can actually work against our body’s ability to fight back and get healthy, not to mention what it can do to our soul.

In other words, unhealthy coping mechanisms often make it worse, creating an endless cycle of stress and self-medication. 

3. Take Care of Yourself Physically

In his letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul encourages believers to remember that our body is a living temple, one that has been bought at a great price, and therefore we ought to glorify God with it. Taking care of our bodies, therefore, is a spiritual endeavor.

This is particularly important for those who struggle with stress and anxiety as our physical health is connected to our mental health. Regular exercise, for example, has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. One study in particular showed that those who regularly exercise were 25 percent less likely to develop depression or an anxiety disorder over the next five years.

One of my favorite anxiety moments in the Bible is found in 1 Kings 19 when Elijah is so overwhelmed by his circumstances that he wants to end his life. In that moment, God didn’t give him a pep talk or shame him for his lack of faith. Instead, He gave him a meal and let him go to sleep. Twice.

Learning to rest is an important part of taking care of the body God has entrusted us with. Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is take a nap.

There are some things about God
 that can only be learned through suffering.

GOD’S PRIVATE NUMBER

Jeremiah 33:3

One of the greatest invitations to prayer ever given to anyone was spoken to Jeremiah when he was in prison for preaching the truth God said.

            “call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show the great and mighty things which thou knowth  not. (Jeremiah 33:3)

God mercifully spoke to him in his distress with both a command and invitation. Have you ever had an important person give you a card with their unlisted number in it and say “call me”. If someone important gives you his private number, that is a great privilege.

Almighty God came to Jeremiah and did put that: (jere 33:3). This verse express the importance of the person who spoke to Jeremiah. And like Jeremiah, we have his personal number. He gave us his card, saying, “there it is” and “I want you to call me”.

There’s not one of us who cannot contact heaven. Never say in a situation, ”there’s nothing I can do”. You can pray. Every fact use in our lives, when properly analyzed.

There’s not a single sin in our lives that proper prayer would not have avoided or bolt out, the not a need prayer cannot meet. Prayer is our greatest source of untapped power! Our spiritual lives will not use above our prayer lives. We must learn to pray. When don’t pray, we deny ourselves an incredible privilege.

God can do anything he wishes. There’s no prayer too hard for God to answer, no problem too big to solve, no person too lost to save. Nothing lies outside the reach of prayer except that which lies outside the will of God.

Prayer is your guided missile. It can be fired from any spot. It travels undetected at the speed of thought. It hits the target every time. And if you don’t see the answer right away, remember it can have delayed detonation. Satan has no defense against your prayers. There is no anti-prayer missile.

 

  

THE BEAUTY OF YOUR TALENT

 

THE EFFECT OF EFFECTIVE  PRAYER

  We all want our prayers to be answered and be effective so much that we focus on the results of our prayers only that we love sight of the incredible privilege we have in prayer . For people like us to be able to speak to the centre of the universe is itself an amazing thing. The most astounding thing is the fact that he hears hear us and acts on our behalf. Jesus who is our lord and savior had to suffer and die on the cross to even make it possible for us to approach throne of grace to worship and pray[HEBREWS 10:19-25] .

            When we pray , we are communicating with God, Effective prayer has more to do with the one doing the prayer, has more to do with the one doing the prayer than it does with how we are to pray.The bible says on 2 chronicles 7:14, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray that he will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and hear their cry. If only you will humble yourself and pray, you will be amazed at what God will do because things work faster with prayer .

            The bible has example of people who prayed and how prayer helped them , we have the likes of:

Daniel [Daniel 6:11] Prayer saved him from the Lion’s den.

The barren Hannah’s prayer[1 Samuel  1:20]

Apostle Paul ‘s prayers  even caused the earth to shake.

            Our prayers should be in line with God ‘will, but if we do not know what to pray for, Paul reminds us that as God’s  children we can rely on the holy spirit to intercede for us , as the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will[ROMANS 8:27]

                                 BENEFITS OF THE EFFECTIVE PRAYER

 

1. Prayer brings you close to God.

2. Prayer brings help.

 3. Your sins are forgiven in prayer.
