May I have your undivided attention, and allow me to take this opportunity and talk to you about something more important than what you may be looking for. I promise you it's worth listening.
God loves you and He cares for you, so much that He gave His son to die in your place. He wants you to know that He has got everything that you need. Job, money, prosperity, house.
Many people are in stress because of these thing, families are torn apart because of the stress for money. They need it yet they don't have it. Are you in need of some of these?
All these things are found in God (Matthew 6:31-33) but first you need to accept Jesus as the Lord and savior.
There is a story about a wealthy man who had all the riches in the world. He had businesses, live stock, farms, cars, hotels, all you could think of. But he only had one child a boy. He sat down one and made his will and testimony and he gave everything to his son. The time came when he passed on, and his lawyers made a decision that they will sell everything on an auction sale.
They made an announcement, people came from all over the country. Some came to buy this man's businesses, some came to buy his live stock, some came to buy his hotels, cars the farms.
The time came and everyone was prepared as the lawyers began the proceedings of the auction sale. The lawyer mentions that the man had stated in his will that before anything could be sold, they must first begin with the boy. The was brought infront and sat on a chair, the auction began. The lawyer asked "who will take the son"? No one made an offer. He asked again, but no one wanted the son.
Time was moving, people didn't want the son but the wealth. The lawyer pleaded with them "people, we can not move forward. With the proceedings until someone takes the son". Still they were not interested in the son. Until some old man decided he has had enough of the delay. he said I'll take the son so we can move on with the proceedings. Everyone clapped their hands thanking the old man for removing the obstacle before them.
The old was called upfront and singed the documents that he takes the son. Then the lawyer made another announcement: "people I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but we are no longer going to continue with the sale. The boys father gave everything to his son, so whom ever who takes the son he gets everything".
My brother, my sister if you accept Jesus, you inherit everything that God has given to Him. Take Jesus and be made the son of God alongside Him. (Romans8:17)
take Jesus and benefit to all the riches of Heaven.

The Greatest Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
This is by far the greatest prayer of all. Why? Because Jesus taught it and because it has everything that you need to pray for. Because it's the kind of a prayer you need to pray when you talking to God the Father. verses 6-8
Allow me to break it down for you. [9 Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.] You call God as the father, you place yourself in a submissive position. You claiming your rightful place as a heir of heaven (Ephesians2:6) that way you get His attention. Tell me of a father that won't pay attention to his child when the child shouts "Daddy"? You praise Him telling Him that His name is holy. You make Him melt with love. Tell me of any man that will not be happy and melt if he's being praised by his clan names. Why would God be sad if you as His child praising Him.
[10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven]. You invite His kingdom, you invite the whole Heavens into world, you invite His presence into your world. You pray for His will to happen in your life, in your world. You give Him authority over your entire life. You asking Him to take over everything and rule everything in your life as much as He rules over everything in heaven.
[11 Give us this day our daily bread.] You pray that God be the provider in your life, you pray that He sees to your needs.
[12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors]. You pray for forgiveness, because we sin everyday and need to be forgiven for our sins. Sins we do knowingly, sins we do not by purpose. You also commit yourself that you have forgiven, because for you to be forgiven, you also need to forgive.
[13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.] You pray for protection that God must protect you from temptations, you pray for deliverance from any bondage of sin, you pray for deliverance from demonic spirits, from sickness and attacks from the devil. You pray for all of these to Him because this is His Kingdom He rules over it with His power and Glory forever and ever. Amen.
We have prayed all sorts of prayers and have taken this one for granted, but this Is the greatest prayer that we need to pray everyday. Jesus gave it for a reason. Let us not forget it after we have prayed all types of prayers, and pray this one. God bless you.

Let go and let God
I want to speak to someone who may have lost hope, someone who might be discouraged, someone who just might be feeling beaten and defeated by the situations or difficulties they are facing in their lives right now. It might be anything you are going through, you may be sick or your loved one is sick. you might have lost your job; you might have lost your parents; child; spouse; house, I mean anything. It does happen at times that we find ourselves in situations like these and when we look at them we tend to lose hope. God promises us that He has good plans for our lives. [Jeremiah 29:11- for I know the plans I have for you, the are not to destroy you but to prosper you.] Well, at times circumstances makes you feel like what the scripture is saying is not true. When you lose your parents both of them at the same time, it's not easy to find the positive in that. the pain you go through at that point in time is unthinkable.
If you lose your child, as a parent it's not easy for you to handle, because you obviously had big dreams for your child and no parent wants to bury their children, but they all hoping that their children will bury them. When you or your spouse is sick and the doctors have told you that there's nothing they can help you with anymore, You just have to accept that your situation will remain the same till your last day on earth. The thought that there is no one alive that can help you is enough to drive you mad. But in all that God is saying that He knows the plans He has for you.
It may happen that you have been going through all this pain and you've been praying to God day in and day out and yet nothing has changed. Pastors and prophets have prayed for you yet there is no change in your situation. you haven't received your miracle. Somehow, that could even make you to begin to doubt the word of God in your life, it could make you to lose hope in Him. under normal circumstances it is understandable for you to feel so, but I want you to keep this in mind that He said He has good plans for your life and just hold on to that.
I know that you might be asking yourself that "how is it possible for me to hold on to these words while I have lost both my parents, my health has been declared to be at it's worst?" [Romans 8:28 for we know that everything works together for the good of them who LOVE the Lord, and are called according to His purpose.] It will be hard to understand this if you do not love God, you need to love Him and give your life to Him. The scripture says 'for them who love the Lord'. so it all begins by loving God, it begins by being in a relationship with Him. You can never be able to hold on to His word if you are not in a relationship with Him. You can not be called according to His purpose if you're not in a relationship with Him. Your life could not be according to His plan if you're not in a relationship with Him, because you would be rebellious towards His purpose for your life. So everything begins with a relationship with God.
It might happen that you love God and you gave your life to Him, you are a born again Christian yet you've been praying and your prayers haven't been answered. One of the reasons why your prayers are not answered is your commitment to Him. We have this problem of seeking God only when we need a miracle, when things are going right we don't even think about Him. We treat God like a booty call, we treat Him like a one night stand. but God wants intimacy with you, He won't respond to booty calls. He wants you to be committed to Him, it's all or nothing. He don't just want half of you, but all of you. Then again you might say to me that you are committed to Him, you gave your all to Him. The truth is, it does happen that even if your are that committed to Him, you find that there is this situation about your life that just won't change. You may have prayed all kinds of prayers, even prayed in tongues, casted demons out, shouted until you went polite. Yet there's no change in your situation. The question is, "What could be wrong"? could it be that you are doing something wrong? well God says: "be still and know that I am God" [Psalm 46:10] when God tells you to be still, He doesn't say that you must be still while things are going right, infact when something is being still. that means there has to be a storm but it stood still to it's foundation. God asks you to be still in your situation, He doesn't say when the storm is over you can be still, but right in the middle of your storm be still and know that I am God. because I know the plans I have for your life. what we seem not to understand is that, what you are going through right now may be a set up for you to receive greater things from God.
God may let you go through pain just to reveal Himself to people, He may let you go through poverty and supply for your needs just to make His name know among the people that surrounds you. He could let you go through these things, but He won't leave you. He will be with you. I'm not saying that now you should now stop praying, continue to pray even when things don't change. but I just want you to change the type of prayer you are praying. It could happen that you've been praying for deliverance or healing or prosperity or wealth. and all those prayers haven't been answered. [Matthew 26:39] when Jesus was going through difficult time He prayed to God to remove the cup in front of Him, that cup was filled with suffering; pain all the suffering you could ever imagine. But when He prayed for it to be removed, He then said "let not it be my will, but let your will be done". you see many times we pray for things we desire, but we do not pray for the will of the Lord. I want to encourage you today that you pray for the will of God in your life. the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples is now making sense. "let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". I want to encourage you today to start praying that prayer, to start meditating on that prayer. that prayer has everything you need to do when you speaking to God. you praise Him; you glorify Him; you give Him authority over your life.
Pray for the will of God, say Father let your will be done over my life, over my finances, over my health, over my family, over my property, over my job, over my kids, wife, husband, mother, my daddy. Father take control over everything. That should not be hard to trust on, for He said He has good plans for your life. it's time you let go and let God take over, your own efforts have failed. they haven't been successful.
If you lose your child, as a parent it's not easy for you to handle, because you obviously had big dreams for your child and no parent wants to bury their children, but they all hoping that their children will bury them.
