PRAYED FOR & PAID FOR

🐎 Morning Saints, in order to pray effectively, Mark 9:23 & John 11:40, show us two profound things about being in the living (Believing the Word), namely:

First, If You Believe, All things Are Possible Unto You (Not Just With God). God does it with your participation.

Secondly, If You Believe On God, You Will See The Glory (The Power, The Anointing, The Perfection) of God.
🍒 There are four Scriptures that minister to me at a personal level about prayer:

1)🕺MATHEW 6:8 - "Do Not Be Like Them, For Your Father Knows What Things You Have Need Of, Before You Ask Him."

God is all knowing. Everything starts with Him and ends with him. Therefore, Prayer Is Not Making known Unto God What We Need, But rather you giving God permission (a license) to intervene in the (or your) earthly affairs. It Is Declaring God's Will, (Mind and Heart) on earth! Not trying to declare or make your will known to him.

This is because He gave Man, a spirit being in a humus body all the authority over all creation (the earth) as revealed to us by Genesis 1:26-28. Which means, He can't break his own word even when He wants to Help. "If We Believe Not, Yet He Abides (Remains) Faithful; He Cannot Deny Himself (His Word)," 2 Timothy 2:13.

N.B: The word "Faithful" here means the ability to obtain and maintain love at the highest level of performance."
Maintenance is not keeping something at the level you found it but rather increasing it by investing in it!
God Cannot be the first to break his own Word (laws), and expect us to obey it. It would not be fair and just of him. He is fair and just because he is the first (the head, the foundation) to obey his own word, precepts and statues (1Cori 11:3, Eph 1:4).

Please Note, Why Would Someone Have You Ask Of Them What They Already Know You Need?

It is simply to know where your trust is. Faith is a response to God's Word, not a reaction. You only ask me for something because you believe (trust) me to have the ability to meet your need. This why Mathew 5:3 says, "Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." The phrase "Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit" means those who totally depend on or trust God."

N.B:
You Do Not Believe Something Until You Start Talking About it.

No wonder a man has what He says (Mark 11:23). If You Don't Want Trouble In Your life, Hold Your Peace! Say Nothing! The only Problem for you is, "You Will Have Nothing If You Say Nothing." Things only respond to what we call them.
We don't speak to have, we speak possess (own). Things respond to what we call them.

It is not a problem to have a problem, but it is a problem when the problem has you! Since God created you to solve his problem. Do not allow your problems to be bigger than your God (the object of your faith). The Problem is not after you but what you have you faith in! The Strength of Your Faith In That Object Of Faith.

The problem therefore is how you see what you see! If You Don't See Before You See, You Will Never See! We don't see things the way they are, we see things the way we are! It is an attitude problem.
It is a mentality problem. Problems are an invitation to show your value, your difference or significance. They are an invitation to rewards! David was a nobody until Goliath showed up.

He married the King's Daughter's, was exempted from paying taxes, he was honoured with wealth and gifts, then later became a king himself. O boy, O girl, Welcome To The King's Chat (Eccl 8:4, Rev 1:6). It is Project 7!

Everyday, you wake up early to go to your job which many call their work places. However, Do We Really Know What A Business Is?
It is managing other people's money ,,meaning,. you offer solutions for people's problems who in turn pay you for rendering your services to them (their problem). It Doesn't Matter What Field You Are In, The Principle Is The Same! Believe me or not, it is the truth. Success is based on obeying principles. Principles simplify life (Pro 24:23, 28:21, Romans 2:11).

So you wake up so early to go fix people's problems who also indirectly or directly solve your own problem of money or whatever. Let's soar higher, if that business was your idea, people would be paying you directly for your services. This is why you don't need to sleep so long. Besides, your job, work on your own vision. Your vision begins after 5 p.m. after your job. Your job is a stepping stone to your vision. There are somethings you ought to learn prior to you starting your own thing. The Bible puts it like this:

Luke 16:10-12, "Whoever Can Be Trusted (faithful) With Very Little Can Also Be Trusted With Much, And Whoever is dishonest (unfaithful) With Very little Will Also Be Dishonest With Much.

So if you have not been trustworthy (faithful) in handling Worldly Wealth, Who Will Trust You With True Riches?

🤔 And If You Have Not Been Trustworthy (faithful) With Someone Else's Property, Who Will Give You Property of Your own?"
