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.

4. Prayer strengthens us.

5. Prayer helps you change your ways.          

6. Prayer brings faster results.

I  live you with this:

                        We should have the confidence In approaching God.No matter how great our sins , fears,problems,pain and trials is , believe on the bible verse [1^st john 5:14-15] that if we ask anything according to his will, he will hear us.

THE BEAUTY OF YOUR TALENT

A gift like no other, strictly from God to man. “Talent” Talent is a natural ability to do something. Beauty (the quality of being pleasing to the sense or to mind).Most often people tend to love other people’s talent and never want to discover their own talents. Thereby, loving other people’s talent and wanting to be like them. Moreover their talent might even be better than what some people think. In (Luke 19:11-26), the servant that used their pound gained extra and were rewarded by their master and the one that did not use it was punished. You have to discover your talent to be able to do God’s will,. This is to say that your talent will give you the sense to do the right things.

 The beauty of your talent can only be seen when you know your talent and use it well. Your talent will make people look up to you and know you are doing what you are called for. If you know and master your talent, you can do anything because even Jesus himself said he has commanded us to go to the world and has given us the power (matthew28:18-20).

             Your Talent is your key to heaven, use it well.

PASSION FOR FASHION

I make it decent, but cute, simple and nice. I Love fashion so much or should I say I have this passion for fashion, that even in this environment were indecent dressings are not allowed, I never loose my passion for fashion.

Most people think or believe that fashion is putting on indecent cloths like[mini skirt, sleeveless cloths, torn cloths e.t.c] , in a stylish way is fashion , but I Still add fashion to my dressing in Madonna  University were indecency in prohibited.

Although we do not wear sleeveless cloths, short skirts e.t.c .

I make a good combination of cloths that are allowed. I put on my tube gown with jacket, for my long gowns I make them shaped and sexy for skirt I sew them long and straight to bring out my shape.

Although, coloured hairs are not allowed, I still make my hair with natural colours but combine them in a decent manner. For my attachment, I use black and brown or Gold. If am to fix I use black weavon that tips are brown so it is not too noticeable. Shouty contacts for the eyes are not allowed, I still fix but with neutral colours like honey, grey and pure black.

Slippers are not allowed from Monday to Wednesday [Coporate]. I look the best although I don’t put on shoe and wear suit. I wear sandals with the little cutest bow on top and Chiffon cloth. Either I tock in or fly out and still look the best in school and even more coporate than those that put on suit

So if you have the passion for fashion like me, Madonna is a stepping stone not a barrier for your fashion.

THANKSGIVING AS A DIMENSION OF FAITH

“The doctor asked Diana, what will you like to say before you are being taken to the theatre, and she blessed God, thanking him for a successful operation even when she was yet to be operated upon .This astonished the surgeon and he went in for the operation which was very successful. By Diana’s combination of faith and thanksgiving, the doctor and people around wanted to know and serve this god who had done it for her”.

The topic “faith” is not new to us, but we shall be viewing it from a different angle which involves thanksgiving.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).it entails taking a leap into darkness. This is because when you have faith on God, you may not know where the answer or the dimension where your prayers will get answers from.

Thanksgiving then is a show of appreciation to god for what he has done and what he is yet to do.

It is our responsibility as Christians to always give thanks to god in the face of any or all situation.(1thessalonia 5:15).

HOW THEN CAN WE COMBINE BOTH?

From the story of Diana, she had faith that the operation was going to be successful, but further expressed more by giving thanks to the father.

The exam timetable is out and there is tension in the air, so many people are afraid because of inadequate preparation, some people’s faith are shaking already, am i going to pass at all? God ooo!!! I am in final year please oo!!

But I come to you with a charge and that is to combine your faith with thanksgiving. I don’t know how many of us that knows that thanksgiving is the highest form of expressing faith.

This is because we are rooted in faith and thus, abound in thanksgiving(Colossians 2:7).tell yourself that the lord has taken charge of the exams and school fees issues and give thanks to him. Instead of shaking in fear about the situations around you, thank him for answering your prayers even when he is yet to answer your prayers because thanksgiving is towards the past and faith is to the future. When you thank him for something even before the answer comes, you propel god to consider that expectation as a past or a done deal.

Faith can be grown by thanksgiving because the greater your thanksgiving, the greater your faith grows. For as many of us children of god who desire the growth in fact, it can be achieved by combining it with thanksgiving (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
