God is set to change your life, your situation and status as well as to empower you; but it is only when you are hungry for change that your change will come.

Study Scripture:
Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. (1 Samuel 1:16)

Hannah was unhappy for a change, that prophet Eli thought she was drunk when he met her praying on the altar. That very night she received the answer to her prayer of many years.
Desperateness is the major characteristic of hunger for change. Desperateness brought Jabez his change of Status and the same desperateness brought the same result in the life of Jacob 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Genesis 32:24-28.

If you want a change of status then you must become desperate and cry out t God for change.

Important Quote:
It is your desperateness that shortens the gap between your present and your future, the gap between what you think of yourself and what God thinks about you.

Prayer Line: O lord, I’m desperate for a change of status, may my change come now in the name of Jesus. Amen!

The voice of God is the greatest commodity in your spiritual walk with God. Anytime, any day you will always need access to God’s voice to checkmate your life.

Whenever God leads, divine safety is guaranteed. Whenever God leads, mistakes are far from you. If you want to remain on the right track, go for God’s leadings.

Study Scripture: Jeremiah 33:3

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.

The voice of God is your covenant right and every covenant right requires an accompanying responsibility. Your access to God’s voice requires effective enquiry prayers. Effective enquiry prayer is a dialogue between you and God concerning your life; over any issue of your life. 1 Samuel 30:7-8, Psalms 119:1-3, Psalms 23:1, John 10:27.

This type of prayer is not complete until God responds and you take note of what God has responded.

Why Effective Enquiry Prayers?

• It is the lifestyle of a believer: It is very natural and appropriate for every believer to go back to God to ask for His idea in whatever he wishes to do. You should always desire to know what God is saying in every situation of your life.
• It is your covenant right as a believer.

At all point, God’s voice is superior to man’s voice and God’s direction is superior to your personal direction. Form the habit of going back to God to know what He requires of you to do. God is always speaking but not every believer is always hearing.

How Do You Engage in Effective Enquiry Prayer?

• You must have a pure heart. Psalms 24:3-4
• You must have a desperate heart. Psalms 42:1 Desperation increases your focus on God and your consistency in seeking God’s face.
• A quiet heart
• A confident heart. Come to Him believing He will answer because it is your right.
• A persistent heart. Don’t give up until you have heard from God.

Three Powerful Ways to Secure Effectiveness of an Enquiry

1. Quietness and sensitivity of the spirit
2. Meditation
3. Lifestyle of worship and praying

 

Important note:

• In the school of prayer, the most powerful prayer is the prayer of enquiry.
• Keep asking God again and again 1 Samuel 30:8, 2 Samuel 5:23, 1 Chronicles 14:10,14
• When you disobey God, another will take your place 1Chronicles 10:13-14

Prayer Line:

O Lord, help me to be sensitive and obedient to your leadings. I crush every disobedience in my life, in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Every success, advancement, and increase you desire in your life is tied to your heart for God and God’s kingdom. The kingdom of God is God’s project and anybody that invests in the advancement of the kingdom of God will enjoy the sponsorship of God. You will not receive answers to your prayers until you pray for the kingdom. You cannot be strong until you accept God’s kingdom.

Why Should I Go For The Kingdom?

• My prayer is useless if I pray outside the kingdom.
• My prayer will not deliver me until I pray according to God’s kingdom. Luke 16:16
• God’s kingdom is costly Matthew 13:44
• God’s kingdom is my access to resist the devil Matthew 16:19

What Is The Kingdom of God?

• It is the rising of believers for the church.God is looking for men and women who will defend his course on earth.
• It is the rising of saviors out of the church- those who will represent Christ

Your heart for God and His kingdom is what makes you a generational blessing. It’s time to put God in your sphere of influence, in whatever you are doing. A husband is always displeased with a wife who disobeys him; in the same way, the church has left the mandate of the kingdom which Jesus have her and now she is pursuing financial blessings- heance there is national decay. You must not result to the same, it’s time for you to stand out and defend God’s kingdom. Matthew 6:33

In the actual sense, God’s plan for the church and the nation is for the law to proceed from the church and establish the kingdom of God in the nations but the church is sleeping and unbelievers and occults men have taken over the law and enforcing  unwholesome laws that are decaying the nations. The error will be corrected when real believers take up these positions and establish God’s kingdom in the nations after all, the mountains  of human existence (Business/Economy, Education, Entertainment, Religion, Politics/Government, Science and Technology, Arts and Culture, Family) affects everybody- believers and unbelievers alike Issiah 2:1-3, Mark 15:42-43.

The devil is harassing you because you don’t have authority. Your authority depends on who bestows it on you. The authority of Jesus can only come to you when you are committed to God’s kingdom. Matthew 28:19-20, Philippians 2:5-10. God’s kingdom includes your investment in people. You are a failure if you are not committed to blessing people apart from yourself and your family. you must be a distributor of wealth if you must excel in life.

What Do I Need For The Kingdom?

• Passion for souls
• Passion for the things of God
• Hunger to improve the lives of people

A man with heart for God will burn everything for the kingdom, he will submit his wealth and finances, all that he has to God without negotiation for the advancement of the kingdom.

Prayer Line: Lord, today I embrace your kingdom. Give me the grace to pursue the advancement of your kingdom in Jesus Name. Amen!

Men and women who are crowned heroes of faith are those who were available when God was looking for people to use. It does not answer to the number of years you have been a Christian but it answers to your quick response to God’s call to be a savior to your generation. Once you make yourself available to be used by God as a sacrifice for your generation, you will be enlisted as the hero of faith.

The personality that God will accept to be used as a savior to this generation is a personality that is predictable, accountable, transparent and acceptable. It is a personality that has no personal agenda but following God. Your academic certificate is not what distinguishes you, but the program of God upon your life. Until you have accepted the program of God for your life, you will be like chaff, like the other people in the world.

An acceptable personality is a life that is full of the fear of God and righteousness Act 10:35. Heroes of faith are not old people per say. It is unwise to think that you are still young to allow your personality to be processed by God. It is at your youth age that you ought to serve God with all your life, time and resources and you can only do that if you fear God.

The fear of God helps you to stay clear from sin and establishes you in righteousness. The reason it looks like the fear of God is impossible to prevail in your life is because:

• Sin is impressive by nature, righteousness is suggestive
• Sin is domineering by nature, but righteousness is suggestive
• Sin leaves you with no option, but righteousness leaves you with options
• Sin keeps you locked up in your past, righteousness keeps your eyes on the future Genesis 39:7-9

The trend of waywardness is on the increase and the only way for your escape is the fear of the Lord. It is not just for you to stay clear from sin but also for you to rise up after you have been delievered to deliver others.

Once you put somebody before God in order to get a particular satisfaction and expect God to understand, you have compromised.

Further Scriptures:

Hebrews 11:24-30, 1 Peter 5:6

Important Quotes:

Once you are occupied with materializing God’s program for your life; you will not have time and money for sin.

Prayer Line:

O Lord, let the hotness of your fear come upon me, give me an absolute hatred for sin and let your fire burn every chaff in my life in Jesus name. Amen!
