Only one class of people are rewarded in heaven – overcomers! (Rev. 21:7) That is why I have decided to be an overcomer. How about you?
Pray –
- Lord, please help me. Help me to ascend the throne that you have ordained for me. Do not allow dethroned forces to mess up my testimony. I know that you mean well, you have done all things well and have blessed me with heaven’s blessing as well as human joy. Please help me to align with you and to fulfil your purpose in the name of Jesus.
- For the rest of my life, empower me to walk with you, hand in hand with you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Open my eyes that I may know you, that I may live for you and that I may be all that you want me to be. Where others fail, cause me to excel. Let your word dwell richly in me.
- Do not allow me to miss your mark. In holiness, in righteousness, I ask that you establish me in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Be not far from me. Answer me when I call. Let your light shine upon my path. Let your fire fall; envelop me with your glory fire in the name of Jesus.
- Anoint my feet to trample down everything that needs to be trampled upon. I thank you for your word in the name of Jesus.
- Let your light continue to shine upon my path to greatness as you work out your plans for my destiny.
- Lord, I ask that you showcase your glory in my life. Let there be showers of your blessings in the name of Jesus.
- Do not allow me, O God, to falter. Do not allow me to fail you. Do not allow me to miss your mark. In your mercy, overlook all my shortcomings. Wherever I have ever missed it before, please help me.
- Today, I align with you. I re-dedicate my life afresh to you and I set my face to seek you, please help me. Where I am weak, please strengthen me.
- Be thou my strong habitation whereunto I may continually resort. Please empower me in the name of Jesus. Thank you ancient of days in Jesus mighty name I pray.
I want you to mean business with God because God means business and the only people he rewards are those who mean business with him (Heb. 11:6). I never cease to marvel at the way the average Christian strolls in and out of the presence of God looking for a God to use and command at their whims and caprices. There are too many erroneous theologies out there and their outcome is terrible. During the last encounter I had with Christ, he was not smiling at all when he told me that his people are not ready. That was a damning statement. Why are they not ready?
If you are not making progress in your sanctification, in your walk with God, please, stop. There is something called progressive sanctification. The world no longer takes the Church seriously because the Church is too worldly to be relevant. But you should mean business with God. I can remember vividly what I told my wife immediately after our wedding; I informed her that my greatest desire is to make heaven together with the children God will bless us with. However, if I found out that she was not serious in this race, I would leave her and get there alone. Today, to the glory of God, we are all in the race together, making progress.
