Kingdom Prayer -Part 2

(Senior Elder at Father's Heart Ministries  and function as 
an Apostle and Prophet to the Body of Christ globally)

“Listen”
means to hear; to give undivided attention; to examine the merits of a case to render a just decision.
It essentially denotes perceiving a message or sensing a sound!

Our interaction with God should be in the right spirit and attitude of heart and mind. This will guarantee that we will detect the frequency of God’s heart and decode the sounds He transmits in answer to our prayers!

“My sheep listen to my voice…”
Jn.10:27
Listening is connected with detecting the voice of Jesus.
“Listen”:
in this verse means
“to hear with attention”, “be attentive”, ”to understand”
“My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.”
Prov.4:20
The voice is the conveyer of words.
 Listening to the voice of Jesus then is to give heed to His words.

You cannot listen effectively to Jesus if you are not positioned within His immediate presence!
 Listening to the “voice of words” suggest intimacy with the one who speaks!

True prayer is birthed out of a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ!

“She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.”

Mary was positioned correctly!
Martha was in the presence of Jesus, but was distracted! She had a wandering mind!
Mary “sat” at the Lord’s feet!

This suggests a posture of deep rest and tranquillity!

Proper prayer demands then that you establish your heart in a position of rest in the presence of King Jesus.

Mary “listened to what Jesus said”
“Said"
is the Greek word Logos which denotes the hidden intelligence behind the words of Jesus.
The hidden intelligence behind the words of Jesus is the Father!

When you listen to what Jesus says, you then get connected to the mind of the Father!

When Jesus speaks, He releases the words of the Father to you!

WORDS! - Part 3

Words as Propaganda
If the saints are often blind or indifferent to the significance of
words, Satan at least is not. It was with words that he procured the downfall of our first parents, and since then he has never ceased seeking to usurp the divine authority vested in words and to use these sacred instruments of God against God and against God’s
people and God’s purposes in the earth. In Revelation 16:13 we read of “three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth
of the false prophet.” The significant feature of the frog in Israel and adjoining countries is that it remains silent in the daytime, but keeps up a ceaseless, repetitive croaking during the hours of darkness. These frogs, therefore, typify as vividly as any image could that peculiar, distinctive feature of modern political methods
for which we have coined the word propaganda. It describes the ceaseless reiteration of those statements and theories that its authors desire to be believed, to the exclusion of all others.
It is this instrument of words, called propaganda, which “the rulers of the darkness of this world” have used to establish every one of the successive anti-Christian dictatorships that have marked the last hundred years of world history. Armaments, military power, secret police, all these have been subordinate to that one great verbal instrument—propaganda.
Although the forces behind such propaganda are spiritual, being
expressly called “unclean spirits,” it is—as always—through the lips of men that they must work. Therefore in Psalm 12:4 we read about men, “who have said, ‘With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?’” Such men do not know that Satan is lord over them, controlling their lips for his own purposes.

Victorious Life.

Victorious Life
by Haggai Napo whose ministry
function is a Pastor at Langa Christian Church


 We all desire to live a victorious life at certain stage, we all desire to be successful in our day to day living. Victory means progress in many people's lives and the moment people do not experience victory they feel like they have failed. However, the question is how do we succeed in life. In this article we will look at things we need to consider in order to succeed or live a victorious life.

What does it take to live a victorious life?

1. Faith

Faith is the complete trust in God that He will take care of your life and He will lead your life daily. This does not depend on how you feel and how other people feel about your situation or circumstances of life. Feelings are based on moods and the five senses of how we feel, however faith works beyond how does one feel. Onne Vegter says "In the modern world, many things work with passwords. To switch on a computer, you need a password. To draw money from the bank or teller machine you need a password." Faith is the password for a successful Christian life and living a victorious life. Faith is like a key you can use to open other closed doors in your life - it is the Master key.

There are times in our lives where you do not use any key, but a master key. Especially when times are hard, complicated and tough moments of our lives. When things seems to be falling apart and when friends seems do be dwindling in numbers. The master key FAITH works wonders in these seasons.

"Now faith is the substance of things hped for,the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1 (KJV)


2. Positive Thinking

There is nothing as discouraging and disheartening as people who sit and dwell on negative thinking. These people they are never solution orientated, they are constantly focused on their problems. You initiate a project the first thing they think about is how impossible it is to complete the project, where are you going to get money to run the project. They are never thinking solutions.

You want to be a winner in life, you desire to live a victorious life, teach and discipline your mind to think positively. One of the things can help us to keep thinking positively is the Word of God. The world is looking for men and women who think positively, who will remain solution orientated regardless how hopeless the circumstances can be and regardless of what people are saying about the current bad situations we are living in. Positive thinkers they have the attitude of; it is possible and it can be done. Even if it takes a long time to accomplish it all needs commitment till the matter is done.
