There are five keys to Success in life…
Finding the Will of God, His Desire, His Purpose, His Righteousness and His Wisdom!
We can grab the key and walk in the light or Isaiah 50:10 talks about the Darkness…that unknown future that God desires to guide us through…you know, those mine fields of life. God’s goal for us is to lead us into our destiny…the life He has marked out for us. Heb. 12:1 Verse 11 of the same chapter is the other choice when we persist in finding our own way in the dark… and the promise is failure and torment!
GOD’S DESIRE WILL LEAD TO OUR PURPOSE.
HIS PURPOSE WILL LEAD US TO HIS WILL.
HIS WILL WILL LEAD US TO HIS WISDOM.
THIS WISDOM WILL LEAD US INTO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HIS ABUNDANT SUPPLY AND PROTECTION.
“Wisdom is seeing life’s situations from Gods point of view and acting in harmony with Him.
So be wise my son and heed His instruction, hallow His Name, don’t walk in shame…”
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL FILL US WITH HIS SPIRIT AND KEEPS US FROM THE DEPTH OF SIN AND RUINATION.
HIS SPIRIT WILL PRODUCE ALL OF THIS IN US AND ENABLE US TO PLEASE HIM.
WHATEVER WE SOW…WE REAP!
WHY IS PRAYER SELDOM ANSWERED??
WE WANT GOD TO CHANGE HIS DESIRES AND BLESS OURS!
WE WANT GOD TO CONSIDER OUR PURPOSE AND MAKE IT WORK!
WE WANT GOD TO BLESS OUR WILL!
WE WANT GOD TO USE OUR WORLDLY WISDOM!
WE WANT GOD TO GIVE UP HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR OUR SELFISHNESS!
God requires an initial denial of self, daily death to selfish desires and a determination to follow Him. Luke 9:23 If this is not our daily practice, then there is no need to pray for our desires, wants and longings.
IT IS GOD’S RIGHT TO RULE OVER HIS PEOPLE AND HIS UNIVERSE!!
This is why it is important to pray biblically…
BECAUSE:
PRAYING BIBLICALLY IS SOWING GOD’S PURPOSE
INTO WHAT THE
NEXT GENERATION WILL REAP…
! PETER 1: 3
