FAITH CAPSULE: What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
Matthew 6
Start with a prayer: Ask for God’s mercy over your life that every step you have taken outside of God shall not deny your access to stand before God today.
Also, know to pray for His word to be established in your life this hour, in the name of Jesus.
Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Pray, ask that the word of God that is healing, deliverance, and preservation will be established in you that you live life for the glory of God.
The evidence of living life to the glory of God is your spiritual empowerment, which is the place of watching and praying for you to rule your world.
What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
The place of watching and praying is to:
Pray with understanding.
Pray continually.
Pray with understanding:
Praying with understanding is seeking God to find Him.
The word of God specifically admonishes for understanding when seeking God. Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.”
Praising God demands to understand, so is praying or thanking also demands to understand.
Jesus at the time of His parables, He wanted to know if there is understanding saying, “…Are you also still without understanding?” (Matthew 15:16)
The importance of having an understanding is the reason that “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 14:2)
Are you praying with understanding to know that your prayer is not wasting your time but it is your time of waiting on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him?
Pray continually:
There is no man with the exception not to be praying to God continually.
Psalm 72:15 records, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” The word of God speaks to one speaks to all and God should be praised continually speaks to all.
Praying to God continually is a sacrifice that demands giving self to God without excuse for not praying continually. Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 buttresses, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Are you engaging in prayer continually with mindful of God, to find God?
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.
Prayer for today:
Ask for the grace of God, to increase your strength on the altar of prayer.
Ask that the open door of the goodness of God in your life shall not be accessible for any evil force, in Jesus’ name.
