Do not journey into unbelief

 Matthew  6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."

Have you ever had someone tell you to do something, and you said 'no', then the person tried to convince you with much speaking afterwards, and then you probably told the person, ''dear, no matter how much convincing you do, I'm still not doing that thing ". That becomes a root decision, no longer surface, it becomes a decision you take not because of that person but because of who you are. 

This is the exact scenario our scriptural context talks about. Don't find yourself journeying into unbelief, when you pray or ask God for something, don't believe talking too long about it to God will convince God to grant your request, when you ask once, believe it's done, and then stay in faith, however you can still talk about that same thing later to God not as a request but a communication of thanksgiving to strengthen your faith but not to convince God, because God answers prayers that are prayed according to His will. The point here is do not spend too long talking about one particular request to God, a prayer at once is as powerful as a prayer prayed many times. The only kind of prayer that requires frequent praying on a matter is the prayer of intercession, and that's because you're praying for someone else, but when it has to do with you, one request is enough, what you do after such prayer is constant thanksgiving to keep your faith alive. Don't find yourself journeying into unbelief, some people have felt God doesn't answer prayers because they haven't seen a manifestation of their requests despite praying for long, after your request, begin giving of thanks, and watch God make everything beautiful in its time. Do have a lovely day ahead.😎

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that wayπŸ˜ΆπŸ˜‡. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa...
