Wake up and Pray: A call for action.

One night, I was jolted awake by my mom's urgent voice, "JJ madam wake up....

Wake up and start praying!" 

I consider it a blessing when you have a praying Mother, that way you have whom to learn praying from.

Some weeks back I wondered how I learned to pray and why I continue to pray even when words seem insufficient.

Growing up in a Nigerian home, I was blessed with a mom who attended all programs and crusades that is tagged with miracle, healing and deliverance. While I enjoyed these spiritual and personal development activities, I knew that going from one church to another wasn't for me. 

There was these hunger for a personal relationship with God which this Nigerian constant deliverance ministries didn't satisfy.

So, I embarked on a salvation and revelation journey with Christ, relying on God's word to guide me.

In Acts 10:34-35, Peter says, "God shows no partiality. But in every nation, whoever fears Him and does righteousness is accepted by Him." I am accepted by God, and as a royal priesthood and holy nation, I am called to commune with Him.

Galatians 3:28 reminds us that God's plan is for all people, not just a select few: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." While we each have unique calls and assignments, God desires to connect with every one of us, and it's in Him that we find meaning and purpose in life.

I encourage you to discover God for yourself. Listen to messages, read books, and download resources from trusted sites. As you grow in your knowledge of God's person, learn to consistently obey His instructions, which are designed to keep you from harm and give you an expected end."

God is that father stretching out a hand to the child and expecting in return for us to take this hand.

Would you accept God's hand stretched out to you Today?
