HOW TO PRAY TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

 

WHAT IS PRAYER:

     Prayer is the simplest way we can communicate with God. Through prayers we tell thank God for all things He Hasdone to us. We also use this chance to ask God to do for us some things in our lives. We also communicate with God through reading the scriptures from the holy bible. 

    It's the will of God that we pray over everything in our lives and the lives of others. Prayers have no limitations. We can pray anytime any day and anywhere. 

HOW DO WE PRAY:

    God does not condition us on how to pray. But Jesus Christ son of God, who suffered and died on the cross because of our sins, tought His disciples how to pray and He was very specific. Since Jesus Christ new who his father was, the qualities of God, in the trinity him included, " the father the son and the holy spirit."  Hello decided to teach the disciples the style and type of prayer that God can accept easily.

‭Matthew 6:5-9, 12-15 NIV‬

[5]  “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. [6] But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. [7] And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. [8] Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. [9]  “This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

[12]  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. [13]  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’ [14]  For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. [15] But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

HOW GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS.

      After looking at this example of how Jesus Christ tought His disciples how to pray, we discover that it's a true guideline of how we should pray to our God. This prayer teaches us that God is not approached in any way with any words. 

     Before we go into the presence of God for prayers, we must be prepared. Preparing means we must plan the words in our prayer to have the same meaning as in the prayer examples Jesus Christ gave to his disciples. 

   

      When it comes to our life within our marriage institutions, we need to pray for one another. A husband to remember his wife in prayers and a wife to remember her husband in prayers then the whole family. This is because the enemy is arising against many families. Without prayers, many families are falling. 

      God is committed to answering any prayer made in the name of Jesus Christ our saviour. This is the key for our prayers being answered.

QUALITIES OF GOOD LEADERSHIP

 

To be a leader, simply means to be a servant. To be a servant simply means to serve all people equally without any form of discrimination. Let us narrow down to the real qualities of  leadership. Before we look this qualities we must understand that there are some aspects connected to leadership. 

1.Leadership by profession- 

     This aspect in leadership tells us that, we must be trained professionally in order to become the kind of leader we want. This aspect enables our leadership to come in stages depending on the level of education and training. Examples of this type of leadership is found in Educational institutions, Government ministrys and Manufacturing companies etc

2.Leadership by natural gift.

      Some people have natural gifts of leadership from God. They know how to lead and can mentor others into leadership. Such people always manage several projects under their leadership. Examples of this category are people like Church  leaders. From just scratches, Some own big church organisations and projects internationally.

1.  HONESTY

     Honesty is an important aspect in leadership carrier. It helps people understand who you are and how you handle them. It potrays your inner heart and how you mind about others. Minus this aspect in you, you can't handle and manage company resources and property well.

2. EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION 

     As a leader, you must have good and efficient communication skills. This helps you to interact well with all people in your organisation. A good leader is supposed to know more than two languages and have a know how of different cultures within the society.

3. KNOWLEDGE 

    A leader without knowledge is like a leader without any power and authority. Knowledge gives us exposure to what people are, what they want and how they behave. Knowledge overrides other qualities in leadership cycles but cannot displace any of them. All aspects need to in place in order to accomplish everything well. Knowledge is power but has to be applied with wisdom. When you lack wisdom, knowledge will lack wheels to ride on. So wisdom is a pivotal element for effective knowledge.

4. CONSISTENCY 

     A good leader must be consistent in doing and performing duties. Consistency helps a leader to act according to what his or her minds speaks.

Consistently acting in a manner that reflects your true intentions is vital for cultivating a reputation of integrity. Such consistency is a daily commitment that shapes the essence of your leadership identity. Therefore, integrity emerges from the steadfast alignment between your goals and actions. This can really help the people you lead to understand your position and be able to define what kind of leader you are. 

5. VISIONARY OUTLOOK 

    Visionary outlook involves seeing beyond the immediate or present, understanding the bigger picture, and recognizing opportunities where others see challenges. It's about anticipating changes and being prepared to adapt. This requires a blend of imagination, foresight, and an unwavering belief in the possibility of what can be done to solve situations. A visionary outlook can assure a good future for the organisation. Many organisations that fail lack leaders who possess visionary outlook.

6. SELFLESSNESS 

     A good leader should have a selfless qualities.

Selfless leadership is putting the needs others before ones own, and is motivated by a desire to serves worthy cause. Selfless leaders are concerned with the success of the whole, rather than their own personal gain. This quality is very important in helping people people to define and identify the kind of leaders in our society.

Some of the characteristics of selfless leaders include:

(1). Seeing the value of others: 

  Selfless leaders recognize the value of           others  and align that value with a worth cause.

(2). Inspiring Others:

Selfless leaders inspire others to work with them on a worthy cause.

(3). Making others feel valued: 

Selfless leaders make others feel valued and unlock their full potential.

(4). Being a giving person:

Selfless leaders are people who give freely and don't expect anything in return. They give out of their clean heart.

(5). Practicing servant leadership:

Selfless leaders practice servant leadership which involves focusing on organizational goals and helping team members thrive and become effective.

(6). Having Vision and Purpose:

Selfless leaders always have vision and purpose. (7). They are honest and open minded and have nothing to hide. 

(8). They are Focused, Flexible and Humble. They don't brugg or Bost.

In conclusion, selfless leadership is a difficult trait to learn and require constant practice. However it's beneficial if a leader or employer builds trust with employees and Inspires them.

7. COURAGE 

Courage is the quality of being ready and willing to face negative situations involving danger or pain. A close synonym is bravery. Showing courage is often thought of as facing such situations without fear, but it also involves facing them despite fear.

It takes courage for a leader to do some things that all people are looking at as difficult. A courageous leader came make the organisation achieve more and exceedingly. We need to welcome Jesus Christ in our lives so that he can give us courage to do things.

8. WILL POWER:

          Strong willpower is an important characteristic for leaders in all positions —whether you're leading a family, a small business, a team or organization, or, most important, leading yourself! These are some benefits of stronger willpower: It provides more choices about how to think and respond emotionally to different situations. As a leader with will power character, the hope for who you are leading is guaranteed. People delight in a leader who has will power to control things.

CONCLUSION 

The Bible has a few perspectives on good leadership, eg Matthew 20:26,  Proverbs 4:23 and  11:14
