THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 3 ACCESS TO DIVINE LEADING!


 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. Acts 13:2

Fasting and prayer gives us access to His leading. The early church wanted to be sure of those to send with the gospel to Cyprus. Instead of making their choice through the senses or  by men's opinion they decided to make out time to fast and pray about their decision. As we can see in our scriptural text, the bible says the Holy Spirit led them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work. When we fast and pray the Holy Spirit can lead us to make the right decisions this year,work with the right people and be in the right place.

A lot of people make a mess of their life and ruin their destiny because they don't spend time to enquire from God through fasting and prayers. Fasting helps increase your spiritual sensitivity. It makes the spirit to dominate the flesh and as a result of that, you are able to discern accurately the perfect will of God concerning you at all time.

Don't be in a hurry this year and start running around in the power of the flesh but rather seek for the help of the spirit. Remember the bible says in Zechariah 4:6  This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubabel, saying, not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

How you start can have an effect on how you will end. Start with God and you will have a blessed year. 

Psalm 23:3   True to your word, you let me catch me breath and send me in the right direction. 

Exodus 13:21  God went ahead of them in a Pillar of Cloud during the day to guide them on the way, and at night in a Pillar of Fire to give them light;

Don't be led by your feelings, information on your local television, environmental factor, be led by God. Let Him take the lead then you follow. Halleluyah! 

Pray With Me:

1. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. 

2. Increase my sensitivity oh Lord and help me to be more yielded to your leading in Jesus name.

3. Holy Spirit influence dominates my mind and my entire life, for extraordinary living in Jesus name. Amen

PRAYER OF SALVATION:

I believe you have been blessed by this message. I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying this prayer now;

Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, I believe you died for  me and resurrected for my justification. 

Today, I confess with my mouth that I accept Jesus into my life as my Lord and Saviour; I receive forgiveness of all my sins. I'm born again. Thank you Lord for the salvation of my soul. AMEN

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin

THE POWER OF PATIENCE.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my saviour; my God will hear me (Micah 7:7). One of the characteristics of a matured believer is in his or her ability to patiently wait on God for his intervention even in the midst of fierce oppositions and challenges. From the anchor scripture, we see the prophet making this his personal choice- “But as for me”. He was intentional about it. You see, in life, you have to understand that following the crowd always can make you miss out on God’s plan for your life. There are decisions you have to make of which other people may never support or understand, because you desire to please God with your life and not man. Others may choose to cut corners, seek for short cuts which will ultimately cut them short. Some cheat their way through due to impatience, pressure to fit in, and low self-esteem. As believers, our response to life ought to be different. Prophet Micah said “I wait in hope for the LORD” do you know that, ho
