Pastor Chris The Lord Jesus was so different from the religious leaders of His day and from what the people around Him were used to. Everything about Him was transcendent and awe-inspiring, including His prayer life and prayer language. His disciples, having watched Him for a while, came to Him one day and said, “Lord, teach us to pray." Now, why did they ask this? Remember, they were Jews, and the Jews knew how to pray. The Jews prayed all the time; their entire life was centred around the temple and revolved around prayer. So, for a Jew to say "Teach us to pray," means something significant. They already prayed religiously because their religion demanded it. They prayed several times a day as a routine. But they noticed something different about Jesus; they saw that His prayers were effective. They saw results. His words had power. Something happened when Jesus spoke. When Jesus prayed, it wasn’t religious; it seemed like He was actually talking to someone who was listening. They never saw the religious leaders pray like that. And even more astonishing, it seemed as though whoever Jesus was talking to responded, as His life reflected answers to those prayers. This was what amazed the disciples, so they said, "Master, teach us to pray." Jesus taught them to pray, and they learned to pray like Him. As you study the Gospels, the Book of Acts, and the Epistles, you discover that they indeed learned to pray like Jesus. Through their writings, they taught us to pray as Jesus taught them, and now, we also pray like Jesus and have results like Jesus. When you get to know prayer like this, you’ll love to pray. You’ll realize that you can actually effect changes and make things happen through prayer. Prayer becomes a powerful tool to bring God's will to pass in your life, in the lives of others and in the nations of the world. *||CONFESSION||* *|| My prayers are powerful and effective, imbued with the authority to cause changes in my life, my family and my world.

*FRAME YOUR REASONING WITH THE WORD* *PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME* *TUESDAY, 28TH JANUARY 2025* _*And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind... (Romans 12:2).*_ When your reasoning is framed by God's Word, you can't think limitations, defeat, weakness or failure. God's Word gives you a champion's mentality; you just know that come what may, you're always in victory. It brings to mind the story of Joshua and Caleb, two of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan, the land God had promised to the Israelites. While ten spies doubted and came back with a negative report, Caleb and Joshua had a different report. Caleb's faith and courage stood out, and God promised that he and Joshua would live to enter the land and that Caleb would inherit the land he had explored. Years later, at 85, Caleb reminded Joshua of God's promise and boldly declared, _*"Now therefore give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day...*_ (Joshua 14:12 NKJV). Caleb could have said, "You know, I'm 85 now, old and stricken with years. There're lots of giants in Hebron. Can we get some other land? Is there an alternative?" But no; despite his age, Caleb was determined to claim Hebron. What a mindset! Some people, even in their 50s, start to believe they are too old to accomplish certain things, simply because in today's world that has become a popular belief. They've become more acquainted with the ways of the world than with the Word of God. Caleb didn't care how great or fenced the cities were or how formidable the Anakim giants seemed. He knew that with God, victory was inevitable. All that was important to Caleb was the Lord with Him! This same mentality should drive you today. You need to have the right mindset. God is calling you to think differently—to think as He would have you think. This is very important because the Lord has sent us in our day. He's in us and always with us. You can do something about your family, business, work, finances, city, state and nation, knowing that victory is already yours in Christ Jesus. You're not at the mercy of anyone. None of the powers of this world can dominate you. You're the seed of Abraham; you're an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ. You're a God-man, a partaker of the divine nature. Have the right mentality about yourself; frame and construct it through the Word. Praise God! *CONFESSION* *My mind is constantly renewed by God's Word to think excellence, victory, glory and dominion. I'm victorious through the Word, confident that in Christ, I'm always and forever triumphant. Amen.* *FURTHER STUDY* *||* *Numbers 14:24* But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. *||* *||* *Philippians 4:13* I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. *||* *||* *Romans 12:2* And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. *||* TO READ DAILY ARTICLES & DOWNLOAD RHAPSODY APP=> https://read.rhapsodyofrealities.org/rin/esenamdotse163737 https://rin.rhapsodyofrealities.org/soul/esenamdotse16 *DAILY SCRIPTURE READING* || *1-Year Bible Reading Plan* Matthew 19:16-20:1-16 & Exodus 15 || *2-Year Bible Reading Plan* Matthew 10:23-33 & Genesis 28 *EXCERPT FROM: Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional*

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
