The Power of His Resurrection

"For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness."  2 Samuel 22:29

It's Palm Sunday!! A day of great power-------- a day marked as that of triumph, triumphant entry into Jerusalem by Christ over 2,000 years ago in readiness for his resurrection that gives us power over sin and the works of sin.

The power of resurrection is the ability and energy we have through Christ to control situations; the energy to change the lives of the people around us and bring them to the love of God. It is the power to live as a reflection of God through Christ Jesus. It is the power to live in holiness and in truth; to do the right thing.

The power of living for Christ gives us the strength that the believer needs to be able to succeed in his Christian life.

A lot of us are afraid of so many things - the dark, financial handicap, poverty, greatness, been single, plagues and so many of those things that befalls man. It is fear and lack of power that makes man to give up hope and life. It i this lack of power that makes us to give up that most precious gift that God has given us - our life.

Having the power of His resurrection gives us victory over fear and instead of fear we have strength and hope to live and celebrate each day though the great Grace of God.

The power of resurrection gives the believer the power to grow our faith and hope in Christ Jesus. The power of resurrection gives us peace - a peace that no man or thing in this world can never give. This power gives us the strength to move.

The Praying Mother

Happy Mothers' Day!!!!

Today as we celebrate Mothers' Day in Trinity House we take a glimpse into the life of the praying mother. In proverbs 31 the praying mother is referred to as the virtuous woman.

The prayers of a mother is never done. From the start of the day to the end of the day the mother is praying for her child. From the first day of conception, to the time of birth, to the first word, first day in school, first day at the university, first sojourn out of the home the mother is praying.

A praying mother prays all the time; when she is seating, standing, making the meal in the kitchen, sending her children out for the first time, handing them over to their husbands, or checking out if the girl would take good care of her son a praying mother is always praying.

A praying mother will forgive an offence even before her child thinks of committing the offence. This is why a mother is refined from a finished product.

We celebrate our mothers as they pray for us every day that we have them with us!!

The Power of Prayer

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Matthew 6: 6 KJV

For every child of God prayer is a way of life. It is as important to us as much as breathing is to life. However, our prayer must be with the simplicity of heart and mind.  Our Lord and best friend, Jesus Christ, enjoins us that when we pray we must do so in secret so that our Father who sees what is in secret may reward us openly. Praying in secret doesn't mean hiding somewhere that nobody sees you, going to the mountain top; praying in secret means having the right attitude to prayer. 

We are to pray with a concentration that connects us directly with God. Prayer is an action, something that needs to be done with ease and no pretense. 

Prayer is that way that man makes contact with God. It is expected that as children of God we make contact with God on a regular basis. Just like power flows through a lamp holder to bring the illumination that gives light through a bulb; the same way prayer is the sock through with our communication flows through to connect with God to result in miracles and breakthrough. 

1 Kings 18 tells us about the prophet Elijah and his prayer. He prayed that there be no rain and it was so, after 3 years he prayed that there be rain and the rain came. God gave us the power to rule, Jesus gave us authority over demons and said whatsoever we decree on earth shall be decreed in heaven. This power from God and authority from Jesus can only be manifest through prayer that brings a resultant effect. For to be successful in prayer we must pray using the word of God. When we pray, we must remind God of his word concerning us.

When we pray, we must pray with understanding; first standing on the word of God in faith believing that our prayer is answered. Prayer must come from a heart and soul that is humble and without guile. When we pray we must do so with authority not in fear or doubt begging and pleading but in faith with the belief that what we ask we shall receive.
