TOPIC: GOD IS OMNIPOTENT
In our previous teaching, we emphasized how the Israelite limited the Illimitable God in their own lives; telling us that: the good that happens in our lives will depends on how much boundary we put on God in our own lives.
GOD’S WILL IS NOT DONE ON EARTH!!!
Mat 6:10: Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, as it is in heaven.
Why did Jesus teach us to pray that God’s will be done on earth if His will is done automatically? Almost everybody on earth is acting against the will of God somehow; but in heaven, God’s will is perfectly done. That is why Jesus told us to pray that His will may be done in our lives, in our churches, in our nations, in our places of work, and in our families. Do not believe people who claim that everything happening whether good, bad or ugly is the will of God. That is wrong. The will of God will not come except by prayers of faith.
Mat 26:39: …O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless NOT AS I WILL, but as thou wilt.
Jesus’ will was against the will of the Father; but said He would rather follow His Father’s will than His. If Jesus Himself is tempted to go against God’s will, anybody can; many of us even do on daily basis. When the soldiers came to get Jesus and Peter tried to defend Him, He said:
Mat 26:53,54: Thinkest thou that I cannot now PRAY TO MY FATHER, and HE SHALL PRESENTLY GIVE ME more than twelve legions of angels? But HOW THEN SHALL THE SCRIPTURES BE FULFILLED…?
This is powerful! Jesus is saying He has the ability to go AGAINST THE FATHER’S WILL by even praying to the Father Himself to send down fighter angels. There are indeed many prayers we offer to God today which answers we receive but are not God’s perfect will for us. God help us!
DOES GOD THEREFORE NEED US TO FULFIL HIS WILL?
Yes! He does need us! Shocking, isn’t it? If He cannot get His will done through you, He will replace you like He replaced Saul, Moses and Elijah. But in any case, He needs a man to pray on earth and agree with Him in heart and acts, that His will may be done.
Eze 22:30,31: And I SOUGHT FOR A MAN among them, that should …stand in the gap before me for the land, THAT I SHOULD NOT DESTROY IT: BUT I FOUND NONE. Therefore … I HAVE CONSUMED THEM with the fire of my wrath… saith the Lord GOD.
Can you see? There is a nation whose just recompense is destruction, But God in His mercy wanted to have mercy on them and didn’t want them destroyed. What will God do? He sought for A MAN ON EARTH among them, who will intercede for them so He can save them, but He found no one, so they had to face their judgment. That mercy and grace God wants to show you and your family will never be automatic, you must agree with Him in prayers of “FAITH!!!”
The teaching still continues. Stand in gap for your own life and your family today, God wants you well, He needs you to agree in with Him in faith, and you will testify in Jesus name. Feel free to add your comments and questions. We commend you to God’s Spirit and His Word.
Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you.
