SUBMIT TO HIM

  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word.

PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP

PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP

LUKE 11: 1-4 
DEVOTIONAL: “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven” (Vs. 2).

    If any child of God will enjoy answers to his or her prayers, he/she must first understand that prayer is a relationship with God. As we all want to ask God for our needs, He also wants to answer us but, we must understand His need and meet it for Him to meet our needs. God wants a relationship with you (John 4:23). Prayer is first relationship, before it becomes an opportunity to share.
    In our Scripture for today, Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. He was able to teach them after building a relationship with them. He taught that we should first call God our father. The Father and son relationship is not ordinary because sons are treated specially by their fathers.

    Friend, don’t be like people who just want to collect blessings from God and go away. God needs you to be committed with Him in a relationship. Don’t be a stranger to God or His house, but first join His family. Having done that, be sure that your heart is given totally to God. Take time out to relate with Him daily by studying His word, worshipping Him and asking for your needs in prayers. That way, you will no longer be a stranger to Him. You will be used to His words and His voice (John 10: 4, 14). It is then you will ask anything from Him and receive. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to give you room in my life as my Father.

“EVERY GOOD FATHER IS ALWAYS READY TO GIVE HIS SON ANYTHING HE DESIRES”.
