THE SEASON OF ABUNDANCE

Do you ever wonder about your position as a child of God ? Do you ever meditate on being in the place where you suffer no lack, whether in spiritual or temporal things? I believe that the season is here when knowledge is increasing regarding the position and the inheritance of the children of God who abides within His Kingdom. Every king within his kingdom takes care of the citizens within his domain. If any king is not able to provide for his citizens he is considered as not being worthy of his reign or his position. God does not operate differently than the earthy kings within the earth realm, in fact He is the King of kings. He is the one that has set presidence regarding the rule that govern kings. The problem with the citizens of the Kingdom of God is that we are not walking in the light of the domain that we are a part of. The knowledge that will empower us towards our rights and our king has not been sought after enough that we might see the manifestation of our rightful identity. We are not just citizens of the Kingdom of God, we are sons of God. Sons don't search for their inheritance, they are aware of their inheritance. Sons don't stumble upon what belongs to them, they only receive what belongs to them because of their position. The season is here when believers will be enlightened, empowered and exposed. It is within this season that God will prosper and enlarge those that will trust him with all their hearts. There is an annointing available this season that will bring abundance. Now is the time to take great leaps of faith in God, for the best wine (new spirit) is being poured out. Where ever there is new wine there is new annonitings, new visions, new ideas and new blessings. Now is the time also to invest, to sow and to walk in what was considered to you as only dreams, beacause in this season dreams will become reality. If you are not empowered to believe that you are positioned by the finished work of Christ Jesus to possess the blessings of the Kingdom of God, pray this simple prayer that God will reveal to you who you are, and what He is doing in your life this season.
Heavenly father,
I thank you for the finished work of Christ Jesus. I thank you for the fact that you are the King of kings and the author and the finisher of my faith. Father open my eyes to who you are and to myself as a son of Your Kingdom. I believe that this is my season of abundance and I rejoice today for what you are doing in my life. I declare that I will not suffer lack. I declare that I am being enlarge and empowered. I declare that I am walking in a new annointing and that I will receive of the new wine. Thank you Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

PRAYER VS TIME

Dear Bloggers,

Is it me or is prayer becoming something of the old? The previous generation speaks now about what prayer can do, while the current generation sits back and listen to what is being said but disregards the power within the message. Today we would rather wait on things to change than to pray for change, and despite of how worst the situations are getting leave it up to time. We say things like, someday things will get better; or it can't get any worst, one day it will get better. While we are waiting on change, our lives, our communities and our finances seem to be going away with the times. When will we realize that the greatest power a man can possess in this life is the power that is available through canstant communion with God. Prayer is not just a ritual of the past, but it is a foundational practice of every believer in every generation that desires to see the world around them change and who desires to live a life of authority and dominion in the Kingdom of God. Now is the time for prayer to become popular again in our churches and in our lives. There are so many blessings that time will not be able to produce, but what time is not able to do, prayer can. Are you sick ? Are you depressed? Are you Lonely? Is your marriage in trouble? Are your children going astray? Is the community you live in taken hostage by the enemy? Do you feel that year after year there is not much progress in your life? I declare to you today, don't leave it up to time, PRAY.
Phil 4:66 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;(NKJ)

THE NECESSITY OF PRAYER IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER



Today more than ever God is advancing and enlarging His kingdom with strategies and revelations that will change the course of our existence for eternity. From the creation of man God wanted to have someone whom He can fellowship and speak to concerning the things He has in store for His creation, as well as the manifestations of things from the spiritual world to the earthly realm. The intentions of God are still the same today as it has ever been in the past. Today God is still looking for people to fellowship through the intimacy of prayer, as mediators to carry out His will in the earth. Prayer is not just a method of asking God for things when there is a need, but it is a lifestyle that all believers should develop in order to be fruitful and powerful in the kingdom of God.
Many Christians only pray on schedule times that the church meet to pray, but does not set time apart to be alone with God throughout the week. This choice defeats us in many areas of our lives, where God intended for us to have total victory. God is not just a miracle worker; He is a counselor, a defender, a provider, and a friend. He is also everything in every situation that we can ever encounter in our human existence and He wants to walk us through all our trials and temptations to enable us to overcome the world as Jesus Christ overcame the world. Through prayer God is able to give direction and encouragement; He also strengthens the weak to conquer the enemy when they believe there is no way.
The bible states that God does not sleep or slumber (Psalms 121:4) and He is never too tired to talk. Friends and family sometimes are exhausted to listen but God is waiting in that secret place not only to listen but also to speak Words of life to us every time we need Him. The bible in Psalm 91 states that if we abide in that secret place with God we will abide under His shadows, meaning, He will be with us every moment of everyday. When the way seems dark and lonely if we call He will answer. He knows the voice of His children and will always be in communication with them to enable the relationship to grow stronger.
I challenge you today to let your praying go beyond the church and become a lifestyle. You will not only become more connected with what God is doing in the earth, but you will see the blessings of the Lord more visible in your life and He will use you to carry out His will in the lives of people that He has predestinated to be blessed.
Increase your prayer life today and become a testimony of the power of God everywhere. God did not design you to be unfruitful but that you would display His image and His likeness through constant communion with Him. God is waiting right now to hear from you.

1 John 5:14-15
14: Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15: and if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

PRAYER PRODUCES PRODUCTIVITY



Prayer is the foundation upon which we, as children of God, exercise our legal authority on earth to invoke heaven’s influence on the planet. God gave dominion over the earth to mankind (Genesis 1:26). Therefore, He will not go against what He has said by doing anything in the earth without the involvement of man. Since God gave us such dominion and authority, it is possible for us to experience a higher level of intimacy with Him through prayer in which we manifest His will on the earth, and become a productive agent in the Kingdom of God.
Life for man is designed in the earth to be lived on levels. Each level of life brings with it a purpose: within that purpose God has predestined experiences that will usher us into our destinies. From the beginning of creation it was God’s intent to be in direct fellowship with man, whom he had made as His representative on the earth. This fellowship would allow man to communicate with the Father of creation, thus enable him to live in total obedience to the will of God.
It has always been the will of God for mankind to experience heaven on earth and He is continuously working to establish His kingdom within the earth realm. Anyone who then desires to see the kingdom of God come on earth, He communes with, in order to release to them strategies and revelations that will advance and enlarge His kingdom. Jesus said while living on earth,”My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” (John 5:17). Everything that God desires to do in the earth He reveals to His sons that they may be the channels of manifestation. God uses anyone who lives a lifestyle of obedience and prayer to do His will. Jesus was always in communion with the Father and throughout His ministry would spend countless hours in prayer. Through prayer He was able to receive instructions concerning the earth and what God wanted to do in the lives of His people. This allowed Jesus to display a life of authority and dominion, in which miracles would manifest everywhere He went. This did not happen because of how long or how often He prayed, but because of the relationship He had with His father.
There is a higher level of life in God for you today. The higher you go in God is the deeper your relationship with Him will be. Minutes in prayer will easily become hours and God will be glorified by the works that you will do. Become that productive agent in the Kingdom of God, by spending intimate moments alone with Him. Jesus promised that you would do greater works than He did. I challenge you to take a step to a closer relationship with God through prayer.

John 14:12-14
12: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.13: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14: If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
