How man of you here are really praying for our country? Our leaders? Huh? I know I'm not.

We need to get rid of this spirit of apathy towards political stuff in Naija. Especially this our generation.

How many young Nigerians really know the history of this country? How many millenials can name all the heads of state we've had in Nigeria since independence?

Patriotism needs to be preached now more than ever. Amen.

DO NOT ASK ANY THING FROM GOD WHICH IS EITHER RELATED TO PRESENT OR FUTURE

Do not ask any thing from God which is either related to present or future. When you ask some thing in present or some thing in the future, it clearly means that you are reminding Him about the corresponding reaction that is to be immediately implemented in the need. This indirectly means that God is not alert as you are.

This is insulting God. Due to such sin the requirement is not answered. If you are asking to protect yourself or somebody else, it indirectly means that He is not aware of the things to be done due to the irresponsibility and this also indicates that He is not as kind as yourself.

It means that God has potency to help but not kind enough to render the help. On contrary, it also means that you lack unfortunately the potency. It means if you fortunately have the potency you could have immediately responded and helped. Therefore, when ever you ask for anything it clearly means indirectly that God has some type of defect, which does not exist in your case.
When you ask Him to fulfill the desire it looks as if that your desire is constitutionally justified. But God is not positively reacting due to either lack of positive response immediately or due to lack of knowledge of the constitution or due to lack of kindness to help the needy. All these points are very very subtle. But God is the most subtle and therefore, the knowledge of this analysis will certainly restrict you from asking any fulfillment of your desire.

Never bring present and future before God. Confine to the past always before God. Look back at your past life. Hundreds of incidents are there where you were helped by God. Even if you dispose some incidents through the incidental probability of success or through the efficiency of your efforts, certainly there are plenty of instances in which the help from God is clearly evident. At least remember those few incidents and express your gratefulness along praise to God for His kind help that was already done.

The word Krutajnata means remembering the past help. Kruta means the past help done. Jna means identifying it by analysis. If you confine to praying the Lord and thanking Him always about the past helps from Him, the Lord will be immensely pleased. Then the present and future are spontaneously taken care of by the God. But do not adopt this technique with a mind that you will be helped by God in the present and in the future by following this procedure!

You should really follow this path and you should really forget the present and the future. When large number of people came to hear the message from Jesus, they were hungry by the noon. This point was brought to the notice of Jesus. He never asked God to provide food for those hungry people who came to hear God’s word.

Had He asked for that, He would have insulted God. God knows His responsibility very well towards the devotees who came there to hear about Him. God has the power to fulfill His responsibility even in the last fraction of second. Had Jesus told God to bless the devotees with food, it clearly means that God is not as kind as Jesus. Jesus never asked for any thing. He came to know that there were four breads. He took them and showed to sky. He thanked God for providing those four pieces of bread.

Immediately the present was responded and the four breads became four thousand breads. This application of analysis is limited to Nivrutti only. You should not extend this to Pravrutti. When you are hungry you have to beg the other souls because they are not omniscient to know that you are hungry. Pravrutti and Nivrutti should never be mixed.

We are praying for God's Kingdom (God's government) to come! Matthew 6:10

1 Timothy 2:1-2 NASB95 — First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

The Word of God is the final authority.

May you have peace!

If you know what God's Kingdom means you'll realize that they are supposed to be our enemies because they're agents of Satan's government {Luke 4:6} while we are preaching for God's government. Matthew 24:14
Vladimir Putin of Russia labelled us "terrorists" not because we're terrorizing or killing anyone but due to the fact that those accepting our message will not pick up weapons in support of any human government just as Russians are going to kill Ukrainians today due to Putin's orders.

Do you now see why we have no business with them? John 15:19; 17:14

Also, our true enemies are not flesh and blood. Our true enemies are the evil spirits that rule this world.

When Christians fail to pray for good leadership, then they should not cry when evil men rule them.

Good leadership under Satan's system of rule shey? John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19

Satan told Jesus plainly that the present world order is in his control {Luke 4:6} that's why Jesus taught us to keep praying for God's Kingdom to come {Matthew 6:10} that's the only time God's people can have relief but for now lots and lots of evil days are ahead under Satan's control! Matthew 6:34

Well according to God's word a King has been anointed in the year 29 ce.
A young Jewish carpenter walked up to John the baptist and after his baptism God's Holy Spirit descended from heaven to anoint this young man and a voice came out of heaven saying “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved." Matthew 3:17

This man told his disciples to continue praying for God's Kingdom to come {Matthew 6:10} because from that day onward the world will continue to get worse! Matthew 11:12

What matters is the kind of people that makes up a community as long as their attitude is evil then it's complicated praying in their behalf! Proverbs 28:9 compare to Jeremiah 11:14

The same problem will gradually escalate to all the nations of the earth, Nigeria's case is faster because the people are wicked in their hearts yet calling upon God in deception, that's why God warned his prophet never to pray in behalf of such wicked people {Jeremiah 14:11} and do you also notice that Jesus refused to pray in behalf of his nation for this same reason?
Well his prayers are only for the few people that accepted the word of God he declared to them {John 17:8-9} in accordance to what was written in the Bible book of Proverbs 28:9

Keep praying for God's Kingdom to come {Matthew 6:10} and working towards it's righteousness {Matthew 16:33} this generation is matching towards destruction therefore pray that you survive this system! Zephaniah 2:2-3

Hmmmmmmmm i pray that you know how to meditate thoroughly after reading God's word!

A young Jew (politician) walked up to Christ and asked:
"what must I do to inherit everlasting life?” {Luke 18:18} Jesus reminded this young man what was written in the laws given to Israelites and the young man enthusiastically responded:
“All of these I have kept from youth on" {Luke 18:21} at hearing that Jesus immediately love this young man {Mark 10:21} and said:
“There is still one thing lacking about you: Sell all the things you have and distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come be my follower" Luke 18:22

Now ask yourself what exactly could have saddened that young man who has kept all the laws of God right from his youth?

Well it's his position in the society as a politician and don't forget that Satan who is the overall ruler of the world {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} has given this man so much wealth {Luke 4:5-7} all these are the things Jesus demanded that the young man should do away with if he truly desire the kingdom of God! Luke 18:23

So we don't make decisions for people unless they ask us for help just as the young Jewish politician did, we only use the scriptures to guide interested persons. Now make your own PERSONAL conclusion on what happened between that young Jewish politician and the man we refer to as Lord Jesus.

May you have PEACE!

Jesus said:
“I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come" John 16:12-13
So if you limit your reasoning to just what you find in a verse then you can never decipher the import of what you're reading. You need to consider other verses in the scriptures that's related to that particular topic.
The Pharisees and Sadducees produced Nicodemus who secretly went to Jesus at night and admitted saying:
“Rabbi, WE KNOW that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one can perform these signs that you perform unless God is with him.” John 3:2
Note that Nicodemus didn't say "i know" but "WE KNOW" he was referring to all the members of his group as a whole that these people realized that Jesus is truly the promised Christ.
What was their problem?
Well the Bible book of John 11:48 is the eyeopener, they don't want to loose their position which is the major factor behind their wealth just like the other young politician.
So it's his possessions that Luke noticed but the scriptures further expatiate that most people love prestige and high position in the society!
