Prayer is communion with God. Praying aright simply means seeking to establish the will of God in prayer. God cannot work outside His will. If you ask anything according to His will, He answers. The Scripture says the purpose of prayer is to establish the will of God on earth, as it is in heaven, and not to establish our own pleasure at the expense of God’s will.
God constantly seeks faithful men to work with; those that can be trusted with eternal treasures. Men and women with proven integrity. Regardless of what is committed into their hands whether little or much, in public or in private, recognized by men or not. People who have a solid commitment to truthfulness and honesty.
The words we speak have great importance. We speak life or death with our tongue. We must choose our words wisely because we will certainly reap the fruit of what we say. The tongue determines if we’re victorious or not. It also determines the course of our life. Words shape worlds! The words that come out of our mouths shape our world.
So, we can easily deduce that God pours His Spirit upon us so we can be witnesses of the death, and resurrection of Christ. It enables us to preach the gospel of forgiveness and reconciliation between man and God made possible solely by the sacrifice on the cross.
The word is a seed. It is alive, it contains life. If we want this seed to produce, it must be planted in our hearts by speaking and meditating on the word. Once it is planted, it will grow. Will it take some time? Sure, it will! Many nights and days may come and go without any visible change but the seed (word of God) is working underground.
The doctrine of the fruit of the Spirit is one of the most misunderstood doctrines in Christendom. One school of thought believes that the fruit of the spirit can be achieved by the holy works of men. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Our human effort and strive cannot produce the fruit of the spirit. This is what the bible says about that position.
Doctrines are teachings of the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a set of belief systems that every believer adheres to. Doctrine is also referred to as the Oracles of God. Christian doctrine is rooted in the scriptures. 2 Tim 3:16 says that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God to us for doctrine. God inspired it; it is a revelation from God to us. There is nothing else given to us for doctrine except the scriptures.
This new life is received and lived by faith only. We must accept the gospel as our truth. When we accept Christ as our Lord and personal savior, we believe that He died and resurrected for us. Similarly, we should also believe and accept the other blessings (healing, righteousness, strength, etc.) that Christ’s death brought us.
The new life is eternal life. The very life of our Lord Jesus has been given to us by his presence in us. Every believer has Christ in them and also has the life of Christ.
To maintain victory over the enemy, it is important that you know who you are in Christ. The devil does not want you to have this revelation, so he will use all kinds of distractions to make sure you forget who you are. He wants you to see yourself as an object of pity when you go through challenges. The enemy wants you defeated but God wants you to pick up your identity tag and make bold of who you are. This consciousness will help you face life situations when they arise.
