We have been called to a life of continuous growth and expansion. PRAYER 3: Father, continue to expand my life until my destiny is fulfilled. I find courage in this story of Joseph knowing that things may not be going my way but it will all add up for God because God's word says "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28 (NLT). Joseph said in Genesis 50: 20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (NIV). However, he said to his brothers in Genesis 45:7 "But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance." All their plans had to line up with God's original intention. It looked like what he had envisioned was never going to come to pass. The events of his life seem to negate the realization of his destiny. However, he became a victim of hatred from his brothers. He had dreamt of a future that was colourful and enviable. Joseph, the son of Jacob had a glorious destiny. PRAYER 2: Father, arrange events, situations and circumstances to favour (my rising and lifting) your plan in my life. The great destiny ahead of me qualifies me for access to God's plan. God said, "Should I hide my plan from Abraham?, the Lord Asked, For Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him." (Genesis 18:17-18). I desire to have a place in the things God wants to do for the world. God has a plan for humanity and I know that the best way to find usefulness before Him is to have a place in that plan. Jeremiah 29: 11 reveals ".'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." ( New American Standard Bible) PRAYER 1: Father, give me a place and make me relevant in your plan. I am sharing these with you today so you can find inspiration for your quest and motivation to pursue significance in the things of the Kingdom of God. I have shared these prayers on twitter using the #PrayersThatWorkedForMe. This desire led me to begin to pray these 6 prayers in 2001. In a quest to ensure my usefulness to God's kingdom and His agenda on earth, I sought to seek His face in prayer for help and guidance to enable me find worthiness in serving him and the interest of His kingdom here on earth.
God's agenda for humanity is so vast that to be left out of it should cause any man to be in utter dismay. In an attempt to see to it that I do not lose out of the essence of my being, I sought to connect with God in prayers to receive grace and strength to walk circumspectly and correctly positioned to be fit for the masters special use.
#Worthy vessel meaning how to#
There are suggestions on how to get this done in this post. Becoming a worthy vessel demands supplication. Prayer is an expression of confidence in the ability of God to help in all areas of life. Prayer changes situations but much more it changes us. I reason that I need to be correctly positioned to be a vessel of honour, an instrument of special purpose to God. Nevertheless, I know that I can disqualify myself from been used of God. I reckon that as a creation of God, I have been made for a purpose.
