PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and
Bro. Rolly Custodio
HOW TO PRAY (PART-1)
‘…Therefore, pray…Our Father in
heaven...’ - Matthew 6:9 NKJV
Today’s Devotion
Here’s how Jesus taught us to pray:
1) ‘Our Father in heaven.’ When you
say, ‘Father’ you are acknowledging that you’re ‘family,’ that you have a
special relationship with God which entitles you to go to Him at any time,
confident you’re loved, welcomed, and assured of His favor. When you say, ‘in
heaven,’ you can go no higher. You’re drawing what you need from the ultimate
source of goodness, grace, mercy, provision, protection and authority. What a
privilege!
2) ‘Hallowed be Your name’ (v. 9 NKJV).
This thought should always be uppermost in your mind: ‘Whatever I do today,
Lord, whether in thought, word or deed, let it honors You.’ People should be
able to look at your life and want to become acquainted with the One you serve.
3) ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be
done on earth as it is in heaven’ (v. 10 NKJV). Each time you choose to say no
to yourself and yes to God’s will, you demonstrate to a watching world what it
means to live as a citizen of His kingdom. Note the words, ‘as it is in
heaven.’ Is anyone in heaven fearful or doubting? Stubborn or disobedient?
Critical or negative? When the enemy brings something to your door that’s
contrary to God’s will, you have the authority to rise up and say, ‘If it’s not
done and approved in heaven it has no place in my life here on earth.’ When it
comes to disobedience, refuse to accept the package and sign the receipt. The
one thing satan hopes you never discover is that you have the God-given
authority to restrict his movements in your life.
Application:
Lord starting today, I want to follow your Word into my life and
to exercise my authority being your Child. Lord starting today I reject any
proposal of the enemies and only follow the will of God into my life and I
decide to always pray for his Kingdom come here on earth.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you
for your Word today. Lord thank you for the privilege to honor your name and to
serve you. Lord teaches me to obey your Word and acknowledge you into my life
and trust you Lord for the authority you gave to us and that whatever we bound
on earth it will bound in heaven. Lord thank you for being your child and for
assuring us that you in control on earth as well as in heaven. Lord empowers us
to pray for your kingdom come in our lives as we serve you for your glory In
Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God
please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible
Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible
Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents
