Previously, I informed you that ungodly and unguided DESIRES is one of the hindrances to DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. Read write-up (7) of this series for more.
For today, one of the hindrances to DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World is praying lustful PRAYERS instead of love-ful PRAYERS.
Lustful PRAYERS talks of prayers that seek to see the WILL OF SELF, OTHERS or SATAN comes to pass on earth.
Love-ful PRAYERS talks of prayers that seek to see the WILL OF GOD comes to pass on earth as it is in heaven.
If you truly and passionately LOVE God as the Bible commands and as JESUS CHRIST does, you will not only KEEP His commandment, but you will also sincerely DESIRE and persistently PRAY His good, acceptable and perfect WILL (divine destiny) for you in Christ in ALL area of your LIFE, to come to pass in Christ in this World and not your WILL or the WILL of any other person, people or unconsciously, Satan's will. (Luke 22:42; Mark 12:28-31; John 14:25; Romans 12:1,2).
The Bible reveals in James 4:2-5 that:
You LUST (ungodly and unguided desire), and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet have not, because you ASK (pray) not. (James 4:2).
You ASK (pray), and receive not, because you ASK (pray) amiss (not in line with the WILL OF GOD for you - that is, not in accordance with your divine destiny's needs), that ye may consume it upon your LUSTS. (James 4:3).
You adulterers and adulteress, know you not that FRIENDSHIP of the World is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the World is the enemy of God. (James 4:4).
Do you think that the scripture says in vain, the spirit that dwells in us LUSTS to envy? (James 4:5).
The above scriptural verses reveals that wrong (ungodly and unguided) DESIRES give birth to wrong (ungodly and unguided) PRAYERS. This is the sad state of the prayer points of a lots of genuine CHILDREN OF GOD in Christ in this World today. So Sad!
PRAYER is given to US by GOD to bring down or to pass His good, acceptable and perfect WILL (that is, our individual or collective, specific and unique divine destinies in Christ) on earth as it is in heaven for us in Christ in this World.
PRAYER is not given to US by God to bring to pass the WILL of Self, others or Satan on earth. Never! That is not the position of JESUS CHRIST on prayer. Take note! (Matthew 6:10).
The Bible reveals that the CONFIDENCE we have in GOD is that if we ASK (pray) anything according to His WILL (divine destiny in Christ for us), He hears us. And because we know He heard us we have our PRAYERS answered by GOD, because we ASK (pray) according to His WILL (divine destiny in Christ) for us (and not ours or others). Halleluyah! (1 John 5:14,15).
Therefore, you ASK (pray) and receive not because you are not ASKING (praying) according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL OF GOD for you (that is, not according to your divine destiny) in Christ in this World. (James 4:3, 4).
Therefore, you SEEK (study) and find not because you are not SEEKING (studying) according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL OF GOD (that is, not according to DIVINE DESTINY) for YOU in Christ in this World. (2 Timothy 2:15).
You KNOCK (fast) and heaven is not open to you because you are not KNOCKING (fasting) according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL OF GOD (that is, not according to DIVINE DESTINY) for you in Christ in this World. (Deuteronomy 28:12).
JESUS CHRIST cannot be lying. The Bible reveals that it is an impossible things for GOD to lie. (Hebrews 6:18).
Therefore, if JESUS CHRIST says ASK (pray) and you shall be given. He meant it. That anyone in Him (Jesus Christ) who ASK (pray) receives. So why are YOU not receiving after ASKING (praying)? It is basically because you not ASKING (praying) according to your DIVINE DESTINY (specific and unique reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True! (Matthew 7:7-12).
Therefore, if JESUS CHRIST says SEEK (study) and you shall find. He meant it. That anyone in Him (Jesus Christ) who SEEK (study) finds. So why are YOU not finding after SEEKING (studying)? It is basically because you not SEEKING (studying) according to your DIVINE DESTINY (specific and unique reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True!
Therefore, if JESUS CHRIST says KNOCK (fast) and it (heaven) shall be open unto you. He meant it. That anyone in Him (Jesus Christ) who KNOCK (fast) experiences open (heaven). So why are YOU not experiencing open heaven after KNOCKING (fasting)? It is basically because you not KNOCKING (fasting) according to your DIVINE DESTINY (reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True! (Luke 11:9-13).
Many times, it not your SIN or SPIRITUAL forces preventing you from receiving ANSWERS to your asking, seeking and knocking. It is many times, because you are asking, seeking and knocking amiss. That is, not in line with God's original and ordained intention for YOU in terms of your individual, specific and unique DIVINE DESTINY (reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True!
Don't lost HOPE in PRAYERS. Prayers do work and still work wonders for humans, who PRAY right and in faith. (Luke 18:1-8).
However, you must now from henceforth (if you have not), admit you don't know HOW to PRAY and humbly learn to depend on the SPIRIT OF GOD in YOU to PRAY the WILL OF GOD (that is, the Mind of God) concerning you through YOU in Christ in this World. That is one of His critical responsibility in YOU, who is in Christ in this World. Halleluyah! (Romans 8:26-30; Matthew 6:10).
Don't allow lustful PRAYERS (prayers that seek the WILL OF SELF, OTHERS or SATAN be done on earth) to be a hindrance to your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. Shalom!
This is because, it is only love-ful PRAYERS (prayers that seeks the WILL OF GOD in Christ be done on earth) that discovers and fulfil DIVINE DESTINY in Christ in this World. True!
Begin by seeking (studying) to know the general WILL OF GOD first in the WORD OF GOD (in the Bible) by the help of the SPIRIT OF GOD in You. (This will enable you experience and express (do) the GREAT works of JESUS CHRIST in this World). Then proceed to know the specific and unique WILL OF GOD for you (your divine destiny) in Christ in this World by the SPIRIT OF GOD in you. (This will enable experience and express (do) the GREATER works that JESUS CHRIST say you will do in this World). Then passionately and persistently PRAY daily according to the general Will of God for you in the Bible and the specific Will of God for you as revealed to you by the Spirit of God in you. It will amaze YOU, God's positive and prompt response to your PRAYERS in due time in Christ in this World. True! (Matthew 6:33; John 16:13,14; 1 John 2:27; 1 Corinthians 2:9-14).
Do have a resounding weekend!
God bless you.
