NO BEG GOD FOR PRAYER

Scripture

For una no receive spirit wey dey put una for bondage to fear again; but una don receive Spirit of adoption, wey make us dey cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:15).

Devotional

How you take understand God and how you see your relationship with am go determine how you go take pray. When you understand well, your prayer life go full with confidence, boldness and assurance. But if you no understand well, prayer fit turn wahala, full with uncertainty, begging and feeling say you no reach. No dey go meet God like say you be stranger wey dey try get im attention. Na your Father e be. Wetin kind pikin father dey like? No be the ones wey dey cry and beg for everything like say dem no get place for house. Relate with God as your gracious, loving and caring heavenly Father wey want your best pass wetin you fit imagine or want for yourself. Na true talk be that. E love you pass as you love yourself. So, make you understand your place for am and with am. E talk for Hebrews 4:16, “Make we come boldly to the throne of grace, so that we fit get mercy, and find grace to help when we need am.” Wetin invitation be that! E want make you dey come meet am with confidence, knowing say e dey happy with you. Bible talk say the eyes of the Lord dey on the righteous and im ears dey open to their prayer (Psalm 34:15). E dey happy with you to do you good. E dey load you with benefits every day (Psalm 68:19). Hallelujah! For Christ Jesus, you get direct access to the Father. You get free, unlimited access; use am: “For whom we get boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him” (Ephesians 3:12). Read our opening scripture again; the slavish mentality don commot. Instead, dem don bring you into sonship. When you dey beg, no be humility you dey show but say you no understand who you be. God no dey respond to that mentality. Wetin e recognise na the consciousness of sonship, the confidence wey dey come from knowing am as your Father and functioning from that perspective. Praise God.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the Spirit of adoption wey dey inside me by which I dey relate with you as my Father. I dey live with boldness and confidence, knowing say I belong to you and say all things na mine for Christ.
