Propaganda

Father my prayer this morning is that I don’t simply have a life full of propaganda campaigns of what I “think, believe and hope for”.  People are losing hope because in their myopic scope the blessings of God are far out of reach; and from what they see going on in the “world” and in the “church” that we just talk but there is no true benefit in serving God except for salvation.  I pray that what I stand for in you and what I hope for in you; and to accomplish to your glory is manifested with tangible evidence in order to be placed in a position to lift your name on high.  People are not moved by lip service but rather action, proof, evidence and by example.  You yourself Lord came and performed miracles so that we might believe on you.  We who love and represent you can talk all day but in the end of the day, people want to see it demonstrated in order for them to believe.  Bless me to walk out my life of faith, so that people want to come to know and fellowship with the God that I serve for their own selves.  People hear Christians preaching and evangelizing but they want to see the fruit.  Prosperity, health, wellness, wholeness, a good family life and blessings exceeding and abundant are fruits of serving you.  Not that we don’t have trials and tribulations but through them all, they see that trust in you pays off.  And that is what I want my life and that of my family to consist of – for your light that shines in me to light up the darkness in someone and they decide that it is better to serve you because there is evidence that God is real.  By encouraging others, I am also reinforcing my own faith to not only seek you for myself but because I know what the power of the Lord can do and can be to another who makes up their mind to go all the way with you.  Propaganda pushes one’s personal agenda ahead of the good of others.  You are good and I pray that your presence and favor shows up so great in my life; that it lifts your name up and that all who comes into contact with me - draw to you.
