I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU

 

I have prayed for you

Many times in my Christian race, I’ve lost strength weeping behind closed doors about how poorly I’ve walked with God. So imperfect that I would stand today and fall headlong the next day. I fasted many times to correct my mistakes and have distanced myself from God many times feeling unworthy of such a Holy one. I lost my self-esteem many times because I thought 'I can’t continue with this life being unstable'. These are a few of the battles I fought in my mind.

But then a beam of hope flooded my heart the day I caught a revelation of Luke 22:31-32. That day I was just having my quiet time as usual and “WHACK!” I just got it. All these while I’ve been walking not knowing that Jesus had already invested so much in prayers for me (Jn. 17:9-26).

Jesus knew Peter might fall at that time, so he prayed for him beforehand. Jesus was proactive in the case of Peter. He was extraordinarily proactive in my case as well. Jesus prayed for me too! Hallelujah! He prayed for me in the 17th verse of John 17 (with reference to verse 20).

I believe in Jesus and He knew that at some time in my life, I might fall and struggle with hope. So, just as He did in the case of Peter, He prayed for me too.

He prayed for me; Ikpa Onwuka!

He prayed for you too who are in Him; In Christ!

We have faith that we will overcome because He prayed for us and we will continue to walk closely with Him.

So don't be discouraged if you fall. For if you truly and sincerely love Jesus and have Him in your heart and cry to him to save you, He will, and you will overcome.

Also we must learn to flee from all appearance of evil as we know the devil our adversary is very cunning and seeks our downfall even through those things we esteem very lightly.

 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”

(Phil. 1:6)

“I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”

(Phil. 4:12-13)

 
SHALOM!

REVELATION VS PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE

Revelation vs Physical Experience

The only difference between a real revelation and a physical experience is that a revelation (in this context) happens in the spirit realm while an experience happens in the physical.

Revelations might not have any impact on any part of your physical body except your mind. Your mind is that element that harbors the thoughts of your heart and it is also connected to your brain and also supernaturally linked to your spirit. So your experiences in the spirit are still remembered by your physical mind (I don’t know if you understand). 

So each time you remember a revelation, it’s as if you were there, but you might not have persons to testify about it because it was you alone and the spirit who gave the revelation that were really present there.

I’ve had a lot of revelations just as physical experiences and they have boosted my data base of knowledge and wisdom.

There is a revelation you receive from the Word of God and His Spirit. By this you can explain things perfectly well even if you’ve not ‘experienced’ them physically. It is the Spirit who updates the details of that revelation knowledge to your heart.

By revelation, you can understand how it would be if you’re not loving and caring for your spouse as Jesus demands, even if you're not married.

By revelation, you can understand and even feel how worship would be in heaven, even if you’ve not been there.

By revelation, you can understand the perils of an anointed one who willingly backslides, even if you’re not the one.

By revelation, you know that when a woman/man ‘cast’ their eyes upon you just as Potiphar’s wife did Joseph, the best and only thing to do if you must survive the Christian race is RUN! You shouldn’t even think of learning this one by physical experience, because you might not recover what you would lose.

So, let us not base our knowledge on the accumulation from physical experiences alone, but also from Revelation. It profits a lot!

Apostle Paul prayed thus; “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and the revelation in the knowledge of him” (Eph. 1:17).

Revelation comes from the Holy Spirit and the Word! Are you in the School of the Spirit? If not, enrol today by giving your life to Jesus and maintaining a regular quiet time with him.

If you want to give your life to Jesus, just pray with me:

Lord Jesus! I come to you today and I repent of all my sin. Please come into my life and reign as my Lord and my personal Saviour. Give me the grace to live a life that would please you and that when you return, I would be taken to be forever with you.

Thank you for accepting me in Jesus’ Name.

You’ve just begun the race; make sure you remain in Christ so you will overcome (Rev. 3:5)

Shalom!

Still your brother and friend,

Ikpa Onwuka...
