The physical aspect of creation, including humans and animals, operates within a standard time frame. This earthly life is God’s preordained protocol that we must follow, and every thought, word, or deed we engage in is like a steadfast and unbending train moving forward at a constant speed. The significance of this protocol lies in its unbending nature.
Prayer is a powerful tool for positive change, but it is not enough alone. Combining it with action and protocol is essential to unlocking its full potential. This involves taking practical steps toward goals, maintaining faith, and maintaining a positive attitude. Effective prayer requires following the correct protocol, and God remains faithful and trustworthy in ensuring blessings arrive accurately and precisely.
In the spiritual realm, God governs our activities with specially ordained protocols. The results of using the right protocol will produce the anticipated assigned blessings from God. Understanding and obeying God’s protocol instructions is what makes a man righteous, not his works or possessions. It is essential to follow the right protocol in our lives to unlock the hidden blessings God has predestined to manifest in our lives. Someone will eagerly read Matthew 7:7, which says: “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you,” without extending the reading to verse 12 of the same chapter, which states: “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets,”
The word of God provides a detailed protocol for believers to lay hold of His promises, including miracles demonstrated during Jesus’ ministry and in ancient times. These protocols, starting with Adam, outline what an individual is required to do to achieve their desires from God. They are fundamental, encompassing, and time-bound, and God does not wait for any human to teach or explain to him their desires.
Prophet Elijah is without a doubt one of God’s most illustrious prophets. His life on earth was characterized by a series of miracles. The Word of God directed Elijah to a location known as Zarephath. Before his mission to Zarephath, it had not rained in the area for three and a half years. His arrival in Zarephath would turn things around, and the rain would begin to fall. In the town, there was a widow who welcomed Elijah, offering him the last bit of food they had left in the house. Prophet Elijah assured the woman that the jar of flour and the jug of oil would remain full until the day the Lord sent rain on the land. By choosing to accept Elijah as the man of God, she surrendered to the divine protocol of blessings from God and received two miracles—she never ran out of food as promised by Elijah.
Dealing with obstacles in life is an inevitable adventure, and Jesus Christ is an example of an individual who understands and empathizes with the difficulties, magnitude of pain, and suffering from trials. By recognizing the significance of prayer and protocol, believers can develop a connection with God; confess their sins, and request guidance and supplication in their desires and needs. Jesus faced real human challenges and desires, and the Garden of Gethsemane defined his mission and struggle for love and justice in the world. It is my absolute hope that the people of God will follow ordained protocols and stop looking for where things are going. Peace!
