Topic: PRAYERS FOR SPIRITUAL CHECK-UP
Blessed be the name of the Lord our God, who daily loads us with His benefits. Our God is good, and He is a very present help in need.
I want to specially welcome you in our section one of our prayers, which is a spiritual check-up. As you need a health check up in your body, you also need a spiritual checkup in your spirit man.
In many professions, you will not be employed until you undergo medical checkup. There are many people who lost their job because of their ill health. Your health both in the physical and spiritual is very important in your life. Because it is the one that will determine how effective you will be in everything you are doing.
Many sports codes require players to undergo medical checkup before they are cleared to participate. If they happen to fail the medical test, definitely they will not be cleared to play. Whenever you apply for any job or position, you have to be interviewed, if you pass the interview, you can be given that position.
I want us to understand that most of the things we do physically has spiritual implications. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”(3 John 2) The above scripture told us that first we have to be in both physical and spiritual good health then we will be able to prospers. Your spiritual health will determine how far you will go in life. When someone is sick physically he/she will need medical treatment. The medicine you need spiritually is the word of God. You need to be purged with the fire of the Holy Spirit 11“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire” NKJV (Mathew 3:11-12) by waiting in your Jerusalem (Acts 1:4)
You need to be purged with fire in order to be able to take your battle to the camp of your enemy. All the chaffs of anger, envy, jealousy, gossiping, backbiting, fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, ungodly fear, unbelieving, murder, jealousy, selfish ambition, idolatry, sorcery, outburst of wrath, etc. (Gal 5:19-21,Rev. 21:8, Eph 5:3-4), and anything that will render you ineffective in the days of your battle. They need to be swept and burnt out of your life with unquenchable fire.
The reason why King Saul and the whole army of Israel were trembling before Goliath is because there were lots of chaffs in their lives. Though they were having physical body armors, the chaff in their spiritual life render them useless and made them candidates of ridicule and mockery to their enemies. When one small boy called David came with no military training or combat experience and no physical armor. He challenged Goliath the Philistine champion and cut off his head. Only men without chaffs in their lives are guaranteed true success in the battles of life. This is the reason why God want us to start with spiritual check up before we launch any offense against the enemy.
REPENTANCE PRAYER
Before you start this prayer, are you born again? Have you given your life to Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior? ‘Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved”(Act 4:12 NKJV) Jesus is the only true way to God. “Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one come to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6 NKJV)
PRAY THIS PRAYER:
Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for dying for me. I thank you for loving me, come into my heart, forgive me all my sins and wash me with your blood, in the name of Jesus.
Lord Jesus Christ! Remove my name from the book of the dead and write my name in the book of life. Satan, today I denounce you and your deeds, in the name of Jesus. Satan I am no longer your property, I belongs to Jesus Christ forever, in the name of Jesus.
Thank you Lord Jesus. Now I am born again. I am a Child of God, in the name of Jesus.
Note: You are now born again. Continue to study your bible, go to church where your spiritual life will grow. God bless you.
