The Lord's Prayer (Part 3)

"The Fatherhood Of God"

 "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:9

EXPLORATION

Prayer involves devotion, trust, respect and a sense of dependence on the One to whom prayer is directed. The Lord's Prayer opens with a reverent address which says "Our Father which art in heaven" (Matthew 6:9). This indicates a relationship between the one who prays and the ONE to whom prayer is directed. It is like a father-child relationship, which is one of the factors that enhance prayer.

Made Righteous By Grace 

"For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." - Romans 4:2-5 (Read: Romans 3:1 - 16)

''Be careful for nothing but by prayers and supplication with thanksgivings, let your requests be made known unto God; and the peace of God which passed all understanding shall keep your hearts in Christ Jesus.'' -Philippians 4: 6-7.

EXPLORATION

...this answers the questions and resolves the case of those who in spite of their new birth still suffers heavy demonic attacks and oppositions. LIVE AS PER TODAY: We breakdown often in life because we bother ourselves too much; we worry about future, the unknown, the unseen, the yet unborn, dreams we have not accomplished. We offend our destiny, hamper our all-round flourishing and defeat divine plan through our carnal behaviors.

PRISONERS OF HOPE

''As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant or whose covenant is by blood; I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein there is no water. Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;'' - Zechariah 9:11-12.

EXPLORATION

Our God is the deliverer-general of His people from ages past. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He had done the same thing many times, in different ways and at different points. There is something I know assuredly of the Lord and this I know so much. I know Him to always fight for His redeemed; those who are washed by the blood of Jesus; who by His grace have disciplined themselves to patiently endure His due process. Read this,

‘‘Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.'' - Exodus 14:30.
