POWER OF PATNERING IN PRAYER

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope at such a time is. The Living Bible in Matthew 18:19-20 says,
[19]“I also tell you this—if two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
[20]For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I will be right there among them.” In another KJV version,
Matthew 18:19 says, "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." The title of my message is:"POWER OF PARTNERING IN PRAYER" I want to start by emphasizing the importance of prayer partners. Although, we can and should pray on our own, partnering with other strong Christians, can add prevailing power to our prayer life and strengthen our faith. According to the above scripture in Matthew 18:19-20, there is power in agreement. When you stand to pray in agreement as prayer partners, you unleash dunamis power and divine connection for the manifestation of God's response to your prayers, as partners. I encourage all of us to partner in prayer, and connect with someone who is able to keep confidential information. As prayer partners you  share secrets and confidential information, which must not be divulged to anyone, no matter what, but remains between the two of you, and God only. Be very selective and careful, when choosing prayer partners. Don't choose broadcasters, gossipers or gehazi, you need someone who is reliable, dependable, respectable, and trustworthy.  Praying in agreement helps to offload the burden from our hearts and shoulders, as prayer partners. There are times when you can't take it anymore, and feel low and tired to pray on your own, that's when you need someone to help you intercede and pray for specific prayer points and requests.( James 5:13-15) This helps to lessen the pressure and pain from you. Prayer partners are very critical to all believers, including men and women of God. God recognizes and respects prayer partners in agreement. The scripture says, " For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Clearly this means as you partner in prayer, God partners with you, together with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The whole heavenly host will be with you, and upon you as prayer partners. Insn't amazing to know this exciting empowering truth?  It is indeed encouraging and strengthening, to know the benefit of prayer partners. Do you have a prayer partner? You need a prayer partner, and we all need prayer partners, in our prayer lives as Christian believers, in this  journey of life.  I believe from the above teaching, you now understand the importance of " Partnering in Prayer!" It makes your prayer life easier and enjoyable, if you know there is someone who is always standing in the gap for you in prayer. A prayer partnership creates a deep well of faith, an assurance that God  will hear and answer our prayers. And if one partner even begins to doubt God's faithfulness in the thick of a trial, the other prayer partner reminds them of all the times God came through before. If He did it before, we know He will do it again. Having a prayer partner develops a tight - knit friendship in the Spirit like no other type of relationship. ( Ezekiel 22:30). A trusted prayer partner will become your your closest confidant and your best support. They carry each other's burdens,  and they share each other's joys. You must be able to experience miracles and signs and wonders, as prayer partners. You easily connect in the Spirit as prayer partners. A prayer partner can help you  see a fresh perspective, blind sports, and patterns of weakness over the span of many years. At the same time, the prayer partner can encourage you in the Lord to help you see that God has remained faithful over the years. The work of prayer, outlasts our lifetime. Our prayers make a difference in our children and generations after them. The rewards are eternal and satisfying, knowing that each time you partner in prayer, you are leaving seeds of a legacy of faith.  Prayer partners learn to work together with God, and enjoy His presence. A prayer partner is another set of eyes that confirms the movement of the Holy Spirit, reminds us of His power, and assures us that we are not crazy, when we see the impossible, becoming possible. You will see wonders at work when you begin to partner in faith and prayer. There is Power of Partnering in Prayer!
Whatever, you may be experiencing right now, share it with your prayer partner, and go before God in agreement, and you will find a solution and answers to your urgent needs and desires.(Jeremiah 33:3, Hebrews 4:16) Pray that the Lord will bring into your life a trustworthy prayer partner, who likewise wants to grow in prayer.  It is well and it shall be well with you, in due season, when the time is right/ ripe.( Isaiah 60:22).

May God richly bless you.

GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer. I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope, at such a time as this. The title of my message is:"GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE" Sometimes it is difficult to accept that God meets us where we are. Because of His love for us, He pursues us to lead us to salvation. You may be feeling lost and lonely, but where ever you are God sees you and will meet you there, to comfort and strengthen you. Haggar was desperate in a desert where she had even dropped her dream child and was awaiting to die, but God appeared in her desperate moment with a miracle well which was almost close to her,
but would not see it, until God opened her eyes to see the well.( Genesis 16:12-16)
The Living Bible in Acts 9:3-6 says,
[3]"As he was nearing Damascus on this mission, suddenly a brilliant light from heaven spotted down upon him!
[4]He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Paul! Paul! Why are you persecuting me?”
[5]“Who is speaking, sir?” Paul asked.
And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting!
[6]Now get up and go into the city and await my further instructions.”  In the scripture above Saul, who was later on converted to be a born again Christian after a personal encounter with Jesus, met God where he was. His name later changed to Paul who was to become one of the greatest apostle of all time. God meets us where we are,  when we think all hope is lost. He always appears in our hopeless moments, to comfort and give us strength, in order to move on with life.The Living Bible in Genesis 28:10-16,18-22 says,
[10]"So Jacob left Beer-sheba and journeyed toward Haran.
[11]That night, when he stopped to camp at sundown, he found a rock for a headrest and lay down to sleep,
[12]and dreamed that a staircase reached from earth to heaven, and he saw the angels of God going up and down upon it.
[13]At the top of the stairs stood the Lord. “I am Jehovah,” he said, “the God of Abraham, and of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on is yours! I will give it to you and to your descendants.
[14]For you will have descendants as many as dust! They will cover the land from east to west and from north to south; and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.
[15]What’s more, I am with you, and will protect you wherever you go, and will bring you back safely to this land; I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you all I am promising.”
[16](16-17) Then Jacob woke up. “God lives here!” he exclaimed in terror. “I’ve stumbled into his home! This is the awesome entrance to heaven!”
[18]The next morning he got up very early and set his stone headrest upright as a memorial pillar, and poured olive oil over it.
[19]He named the place Bethel (“House of God”), though the previous name of the nearest village was Luz.
[20]And Jacob vowed this vow to God: “If God will help and protect me on this journey and give me food and clothes,
[21]and will bring me back safely to my father, then I will choose Jehovah as my God!
[22]And this memorial pillar shall become a place for worship; and I will give you back a tenth of everything you give me!” Remember, the God of love does love us all. Once we ask God to be our Father,  He will start where we are and help us to grow and be where He wants us to be. People's view is that God should allow people to stay where they are. He loves us too much to leave us where we are. You may even be facing challenges which you feel no one can assist, including your studies, but God takes a different approach of not leaving you where you are, as He leads you to where you are supposed to be. He gives you the wisdom to succeed in your plans and career. Our heavenly Father, even though He is God Almighty, will seek us and meet us exactly where we are. Just know that you are not alone in that situation you are in, right now. How do we know God will meet us? " God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears" ( Psalm 34:4 MSG). He even set up the meeting place:"I will meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be consecrated by my glory"( Exodus 29:43 NASB). The God of love does love us enough to pursue us. And God does pursue us. Look at Paul ( when he was still called Saul) in Acts 9, like I mentioned earlier. Paul wasn't going to Damascus to find Jesus. He was looking for Jesus' followers to kill them. Jesus had other plans for him. He found Paul and stopped him in his tracks. Jesus caused a serious turn around on Paul's life. God has better plans for you as well, according to Jeremiah 29:11. If you also look at Jacob in the above scripture in Genesis 28:10-22, he had an encounter with God' s angels as well. Although, he was a liar and cheater, God was to change his life and name from Jacob to Israel. God came to Jacob in a dream. What God told him probably did seem just a dream to Jacob - may be even a pipe dream. Remember, Jacob was running for his life. God came to him and gave him all these wonderful promises. God also came to Moses in a way He knew he would not miss him, when he was herding his Father in- law's cattle. God still comes to us even today. He loves us enough to initiate a conversation. He will always find the road that we are on and and come down right in front of us to get our attention. " GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE" Once we ask God to be our Father, He will start where we are and help us to grow and be where He wants us to be. It is a process that takes time, but eventually we get there by God's  grace. So as you have been following this message, I hope you are now convinced that God is able to meet you wherever you are anytime, anywhere. Don't be afraid or be discouraged, the Lord is there with you all the time. He is an omnipresent God who is everywhere at the same time. Where can you go without His presence? Nowhere! The Lord is in you, with you and for you, all the time.( Deuteronomy 31:6,8, Colossians 1:27). " GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE" He is the God of all encounters! The God of signs and wonders! He makes things to happen, when the time is right /ripe.( Psalm 77:14, Isaiah 60:22)

May God richly bless you!
