No man can receive nothing except it is given by heaven ( God ) . ...john3:27. Whenever God blesses a man, he does it out of mercy and love. A blessed man is a channel for others to be blessed.

Proverbs 11:25-26 – The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

When you reach out to the less privilege with God's blessings upon your life, you are transacting business with God that would in due time bring a good reward in one form or the other.

Gods blessings upon ones live could be in several forms not necessarily in monetary form alone. Gods blessing upon some could be in the profession they are into. God may bless them with extra ordinary knowledge and success in the field of profession they practice.

Take for example, a doctor that would always be committed to his or her work to safe lives is blessing people with what he or she is doing. A judge that ensures that Justice is not manipulated or altered in favour of the wicked is also blessing others with his job. A police officer that is genuinely discharging his duty within the ampit of law with out being biased is a blessing to the people.
You could even be a farmer or trader that is not greedy always inflating the price of his food products just to make a sky rocketing profit at the expense of the consumers. Remember,

Luke 12:16-21
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

YOU ARE NOT BLESSED FOR YOURSELF ALONE BUT BLESSED TO BLESS OTHERS.

The truth is that the people of each generation would need to be in constant relationship with God communicating through the use of PRAYER.

Prayer is a powerful tool that is required of every Christian to enjoy a sound spiritual relationship with God. Just as it is in Children parent relationships, where the children are in constant daily interaction with their parents for comfort, correction, encouragement, protection, so also it is in a Christian / God relationship through prayer.

When it comes to prayer in Christianity, there are laid down rules Christians are to follow in order for them to have a successful relationship with their father God in prayer. Anything outside of this rule may be interpreted by God our Father as unacceptable. Now let us look into some of these rules.

* Forgive your neighbours sin before you start your prayers.

Mark 11 :25
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your offenses.

* Ensure that your right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Jesus said you should go into your room with the door closed behind and pray to God your unseen father. Jesus further continued saying that your father ( God ) that knows all things done in secret will certainly reward you in the open. This means we don't have to disturb our neighbours with unnecessary noise just because we are praying.

Matt 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.



* SILENT / SECRET PRAYER
* LOUD or Non Secret PRAYER

SILENT/ SECRET PRAYER

This is the type that is secretly or silently offered to God without allowing people around us to know or hear the content of our prayer to God. Here in this type of prayer , neighbours don't get disturbed except if there was an agreement between the person and neighbours. This is evident in the life of Jesus by always moving far away from presence of people into the mountains or valleys to pray.

Luke 9:28

About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.

This is the type of prayer that obeys directly the command given to us by Jesus telling us not to be like the Pharisees that like to pray in the public aloud or to show themselves.

Matt 6:5
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

Hannah the mother of Samuel also exhibited this kind of prayer too and God answered her prayer.

1 Samuel 9: 12-13

12...As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her. 13 ..Seeing her lips moving but hear no sound, Eli thought she had drinking.

NON SECRET / LOUD
If the prayer is not sincerely from the heart and is directly opposite what SECRET prayer offers or about is considered NON SECRET/LOUD Prayer.

Matt 6:5-6

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

When your prayer goes far away from the corridor of your privacy into the privacy of your neighbours without an agreement binding this, thereby disturbing the peace of your neighbour, then your prayer is considered non- secret / loud.

Finally, you don't have to disturb the peace of your neighbours just because you are praying. Moreover, the heavenly God ( the one that sent and called Jesus his son ) you are praying to is NOT deaf to hear Prayers

Isaiah59:1

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

God the creator of heaven and earth and the things that lay therein. He is the creator of everything that ever existed anywhere. This almighty GOD can not do these three things....

1. HE GOD CAN NOT DENY HIMSELF ( FAITHFUL )

When you search through the scriptures or history you will see how his mercy endures forever. God will make rain to fall as at when due on both
the wicked and good people around the world. He will make the sun to shine as when due on everybody around the world. He God will make the
ocean to serve every one both the wicked and the good on the earth. God is faithful in ensuring that the same oxygen is present in the air
we breath for both the wicked and the righteous. He is faithful to forgive us our sins when we ask for forgiveness. When we human are faithless
sinful he GOD remains faithful and righteous forever. Unfaithfulness can not be found in him.

1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Hebrews 10:23
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."

2 Timothy 2:13
"if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.

2. GOD CAN NOT LIE

God the creator of the heaven and earth can not lie. GOD knows everything more than we do. Both light and darkness can not stop him. If God
asked you what the colour of the sky was as you looked into the sky. If your sincere answer was blue and white because that was the correct thing
your human eyes saw but God's answer to that same question turned out to be BLACK and PURPLE. Trust God he can not be wrong as he is always
right while you have the potential to be wrong.
Even though your eyes might have seen white and blue sky, It does not change the fact that Gods eye is perfect and sees clearly than yours would.
At this point it is your own eyes that needs to be fixed or upgraded to see at the level God see. What we see or understand is very limited
compared to that of God. Gods way of doing things can never be compared to that of we man.

Isaiah 58:8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Lie can not be found in him.

Number 23:19
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind? Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?

Titus 1:2

"in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began

3. GOD DOES NOT SLUMBER NOR SLEEP

God the creator of heaven and earth does not sleep nor slumber. He is ever strong, he does not go on holiday. There is no small god that can cast
spell on almighty God to make God to sleep off. His life can not be limited or ended. Never! Never! Never! and forever Never!!!. He is the king of
kings that will end the existence of all idols or small gods.
Sleep can not be found in GOD.

Psalms 124:4

Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

THREE MAJOR THINGS GOD WANT FROM YOU

1........God wants you to KNOW him.

John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Just like parents would like their children they gave birth to know about who they are, the family background of their parents and there values, so also God want for every of his human creature. It is your responsibility to gravitate towards your maker to know him better ( what he likes, dislike or how he had designed your life to function ). You get to know more about God through his words imbedded in the Bible.

2...…........God wants you after knowing him to BELIEVE him

John14 :1 "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, belieyve also in me.

Now that you have known God, a step is expected of you further which is to believe everything he says. He wants you to believe every instruction given to follow. Your believe ( faith in God ) is what God requires of you after you.

3…..........…...God wants you after you have believed him to FOLLOW him

John 12:26. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Every parent want these children to follow the GOOD legacies you leave behind. No parent want their children to be a black sheep to the GOOD happenings in the family. In the same manner God ( your creator ) wants you after knowing of him to follow him in his ways. His ways are righteousness, Justice and mercy.
