Yes! Another interesting point to
note as an Alphasoar. We have previously discussed on important issues that
really needed to be addressed as we soar high into the year and also remain on
course – soaring to greater heights. We will discuss prayer in this post.Prayer is the act of communicating
with God. A moment of talking with God on issues that bother us and on plans
that we want to take. Many people see prayer as last option when all other
routes taken fail. But no, prayer should be among the plans that we make every
day.As we make plans to achieve one
thing or the other, practical effort should be made to back it up with prayer.The Practice.The practice of praying had been in
existence since time immemorial and has continued to be the only way we can
talk effectively to God about our lives. In the Bible, God asked His people to
always seek him in everything they do. God has never said he was weary of
prayers in this twenty first century; he is still in charge of the happenings
in the universe. Has it not amazed you that somebody here is giving birth to a
child in Nigeria and at the same time somebody is getting his miracle of
healing in Ghana. God is not tired of interruptions, so therefore interrupt him
today.The Pattern.Many individuals have resulted to
prayer on the last minute and never get a response. This is because the act of
communicating with God should be done with a free mind and not with a sorrowful
heart. You can look back in your life or ask someone when he got answers to his
prayers and you will realize that it had always been when you are on a settled
mind, when your spirit is free. On another note, people pray with
fear and doubt if God will actually hear and answer their prayers. The result
of this is that the individual resorts to praying based on ritual meaningless
words.I want to remind you that if you
have not put God in that resolutions you made this year, there is need
to go back and have a restructure on it. Because my friends and fellow soars,
without communicating with God on those issues you would have made those
resolutions in vain. There is need for you to pray to God; do prayers when your
spirit is free and expect answers.The Purpose.The purpose why you must pray is
that you cannot determine your tomorrow despite your projections, therefore
there is need to involve God. God is greater than you in all aspect, he is
omnipotent and omniscience. The Power.I talked to you about your
subconscious mind in this post and how you can work with it to the achievement
of greater heights. To disclose the power of prayer, this is what Napoleon Hill
wrote after many years of research on how to be successful in life, “The
subconscious mind is the intermediary, which translates one’s prayers into
terms which Infinite Intelligence can recognize, presents the message, and
bring back the answer in the form of definite plan or ideas for procuring the
objects of the prayer. Understand this principle, and you will know why mere
words read from a prayer book cannot, and will never serve as an agency of
communication between the mind of man and Infinite Intelligence.”The subconscious mind here is
talking about the state of your mind and the Infinite Intelligence is talking
about the one we pray to God. Please read the quote again.This is what my small mind can
conceive now about prayer so do me some ‘judgment’ and add more on prayer using
the comment box.Happy Soaring!!!
Nice post as always Oga Boss Alphasoar.. You see ehn Boss.. many of us are quick to forget how we get to the little height that we are at.. I mean many see Prayer as something that should be done only when we are in a ghen ghen trouble.. Hence totally forgeRRing about the ALMIGHTY CREATOR at times when things seem all glowy and shinykinda perfect... Thing about life is that GOD is everything.. and he never leaves us.. as he is with us both at the bad times and the good times... So what better way to appreciate him for who He is than to tell him every single thing.. I mean even the nitty grittys of our Happiness and Sadness.. Cause truly yeah.. We are nothing without GOD.. This was nice post sir.. Totally apt. Thanks for sharing... and the crowd goes.. Oooossshhheeey Turn uP! How are you Mr. CEO Alphasoars Inc?!
ReplyDeleteYes, He never leaves us. And again we need to appreciate Him for who He is. Hardfact you pointed out here YnC Captain. Many people never understand prayer in its totality, which i think everyone needs to because when we do, we will have God as our friend and confidant. Thanks for your great comment Duru.
ReplyDeleteAm good n hope you too are!
