With all the love in my heart, i greet you all..
I pray this topic today would change lots of heart and turns into an eye opener to so many believers that will come in contact with this post.
As a beliver, My Christain Experience just like many of you has not been that stable, a whole lot of ups and down but am happy to be in this point where i am today. The Ups and Down is a learning strategy he use to teach me so many things.
I want to share a passage of the scripture that blessed my life, a verse that tells the dimension and Offices that our father in Heaven uses to tackle different sphere of our life.. and i pray it gives you the same knowledge it embedded in me today.
Isaiah 33:22
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.
Knowing this offices of God can Guarantee change to a believer's life. Before coming across this scripture, i have been wondering why believers pray sometimes and it seems our prayers are not answered. i asked different questions, what could be the cause, are we not getting it right?, is their something missing?.. and so on.. Then i came across a message by joshua selman that gave me a clue of what could probably be the case.
Now lets look into this scripture a little...
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.
The Lord as a Judge:
WIKIPEDIA: A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions.
with the little definition by Wikipedia, a judge only decides a case with the fact and evidence given to him.
before we proceed more: Lets read Revelation 12: 10
"Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down."
Accuser of the brethren "Satan" comes day and night to the court of God, where he presents different case file concerning us, i.e to say he gives reasons why our prayer should not be answered..
Now, your duty is also to present your case file why your prayer should and must be answered..
in Isaiah 43: 26
Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence."
That is to say, Your prayer now turns into a court room, where you are approaching a law court with your case file and reminding God of his words.. the reason why you should be rich, the reason why you should not be sick.. because from his word he said you review the past for him..
Now in this case, prayer is no longer what he has not or is still going to do for you.. it now turns into a battle ground where your present your case files and reasons as the accuser of the saint also present his own too..
we are still going to look into the remaining ones sooner, i pray this words today gives you a perfect understanding of God...
. The Lord as a lawgiver:
. The Lord as our king"
. Lastly, The Lord as our Father:
