THE INTRIGUING PLEASURE OF PRAYING TO GOD THROUGH JESUS NAME

For a believer, prayer is an essential aspect of our daily routine. It is one of the most effective ways of communicating with God. When we pray to God, we express gratitude to him and seek his guidance. Although there are many ways to pray in the world, the only most powerful and intriguing method of praying is through the name of Jesus Christ(Acts 4:12). The name of Jesus is more than just a word or a label. It is the only authorized name that confers hope, grace, and salvation on all who believe. When we pray through Jesus’ name, we are in agreement with his divinity as a constituent member of the trinity. Calling upon his name releases a powerful aura. By doing this, we tap into the infinite source of love and compassion. The name Jesus Christ is an embodiment of authority just as we could see during his life time ministry on Earth(Mark 4:39).


There are several reasons why praying through Jesus’ name is so powerful. Firstly, it helps us to focus our minds and hearts on God. This is so because Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He said in the book of John  14:1-2, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you”. By using the name of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of his teachings and his example of humility, love, and sacrifice. We are also reminded of our own shortcomings which can be overridden by His sufficiency(2 Corinthians 12:9). As we live, we must make conscious effort to testify of God’s grace that made mercy and forgiveness available through Jesus Christ. For it is only on this base that we can boldly approach God with a sense of reverence and humility, knowing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


Secondly, praying through Jesus’ name gives us access to God’s throne room. The Holy Bible tells us that Jesus is the only way to the Father, The Truth and The Life(John 14:6). When we pray through his name, we are using the key that unlocks the door of possibilities lodging in God’s presence. Approaching God through the One who guarantees express access to Him, defines the expressiveness of our reconciliation to Him. This gives us confidence and boldness in our prayers, knowing that He has neither left us alone nor powerless without the support of the Holy Spirit.


Finally, praying through Jesus’ name aligns our prayers with God’s will. Jesus himself taught us to pray, saying “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6:10). When we pray through his name, we are surrendering our own agenda and desires to His supremacy while submitting to God’s plan for our lives. We trust that God knows what is best for us, and that he will answer our prayers appropriately and in his own way. This helps us to let go of anxiety, worry, and fear. Knowing that we are being held in His ever loving hands, we are reassured of His dynamic wisdom whose prevalence surmounts circumstances and rigid situations.


In conclusion, praying through Jesus’ name is a powerful and intriguing way to connect with God. Focusing our minds and hearts on God, gives us unlimited access to his presence, and aligns our prayers with his Will. So, the next time you pray, do not fail to apply Jesus Christ name. As you do, you will see how he transforms your prayer life and plunge you into victory.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
