Don't posture, be intentional about your life in Christ

Are you concerned about another? Let it show in your prayer life. Any outward expression not backed by intentional prayer for a person is merely posturing. 

It is harmful to your soul when it becomes a practice. Deceptive behaviour becoming a norm will divide and confuse you. 

Human beings can express a range of emotions and respond in more ways than other living creatures. But, going against what God intended for us is dangerous for our well-being in the long run. 

No one can go against the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:8 teaches us that we can do nothing against the truth. If at all we can do something, we can only do something for the truth. 

Be intentional, don't posture. One is honest behaviour the other is a lie. 

Sometimes we posture thinking it will solve a problem. Hoping things will turn for the better. Sometimes people or situations seem for the better. We assume things are fine and move on. Only to realise in the long run how wrong we were!

An intentional prayer life helps us realise the current condition of the heart. Only when we wait in the Lord do we realise how weak we are. How terrifyingly real life is. Without a prayer life, we go on with this life, faithless and unfruitful, carnal and heady.

If you aren't praying for the people you are concerned about, you don't care for them at all. Whatever else we do is a fleshly reflex, a momentary feeling soon forgotten. 

What does praying for others do? It draws the power of God. You receive God's blessings as you do God's will, and the person you are praying for is blessed because you asked according to God's will. 

God will always perform His word. He doesn't posture. He revealed His love by sending Jesus into action. Jesus prayed and fulfilled God's will. 

Seek God in these last days. Pray for all the people in your life as Jesus did. Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
