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.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
