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!



Ikpa Onwuka...
