Ever been told by anyone to push the devil? Then you have been given a great tip. Now, here is what it fully means:PRAY DESTROYS
UNTIL because EVERY
SOMETHING HE VISION
HAPPENS IN
LIFE
How"s that? Does it make any meaning yet? Well, it goes like this:
The keywords are: Pray, Destroy, Vision and Life. Yep, two verbs and two nouns making it equal. Yep, yep!!
Ok, we know prayer as calling upon that big guy who is high up there or meeting the big Dad when we take earthly Dad"s car without permission and bash it; when we are caught taking more money than given us, yada, yada, yada. Prayer is way more than that, way more than just asking, way more than just wanting. Prayer is way more than all about you, me or us.
To pray means to talk with G.o.d. Do note that it isn"t to talk "to" but "with". It is to talk or commune with the Greatest Omni Deity (G.o.d) i.e. you talk, He listens, He talks back and you listen. It is akin to an intense conversation between two friends if y"all know what I mean. Prayer is not only about asking, it is also about thanking, sharing and believing (faith). Because it takes faith and belief to make anything go through. Faith as small as a mustard seed...(Matthew 17:20)
To the next verb: Destroy. It is not a new word considering that we know it is the kind of act our siblings exhibit on our brand new stuff, phone, electronic gadget or important data as the case may be. When they do that, I guess they damage or batter it so badly that if it had life, it would say, "I give up, I surrender". When something has been destroyed, it lacks value, quality and life.

Hey pals, hold on and let"s not get it confused yet, I am surely going to link them and fix this all up. Just hold on for the two remaining nouns.
Where were we? Yes! Vision. Don"t really know what is running through your minds right now but my perspective of it is something seen in a dream, trance, or ecstasy; a thought, concept, or object formed by the imagination that conveys a revelation. A vision is when your friend looks up to the sky and tells you, "I"m gonna fly a plane greater than that"; your sibling tells you, "I"m gonna work hard to be the President of World Bank". What"s more? A vision is when you tell yourself, "I am going to be greater than so, so, and so renowned Doctor, Lawyer, Amba.s.sador, President, Architect, Musician… someday, and it would be soon surely, before I die or lest I die. Combining all these, a vision is your ability to think about or plan the future with great imagination and intelligence. It is important to note here that our vision shouldn"t to be like any person but to surpa.s.s those who we admire and even more, to be our own persons and worthy men/women like G.o.d.
It is important to note that clarity of vision creates clarity of priorities. That way you would know what you must sacrifice and what you must give yourself to...
Let"s quickly jump to Life, the seeming ultimate.
Life, life, life, what is life? It is a puzzle, a journey, a story. Simply put; life is a book about a journey. In this book, you are not just the author; you are the captain of the journey. Your life has got pages with characters of which you and only you have to choose, acts, scenes and roles decided by you and played by whoever you want. You decide how the journey takes place. Whether a smooth or b.u.mpy sail, whether to give in to tides or not. How you live your life determines how your book would be, good, bad, ugly. To this book of yours, there is an Editor, G.o.d correcting, aiding and guiding but of course, the only steps he takes are those you allow, after all it is YOUR book. There are the usual critics, fans, and detractors along the way. Your life is what you do with your thoughts, words, actions, habit, character and destiny to produce who you are.
It is high time we coined all these words together. Have you noticed that the devil tries to hold what is really important? Now, take a close look at the full meaning of the acronym. You can see that the devil (in his own name) is holding two essential things which are actually yours: your Vision and your Life.
Until you PRAY (I"m not talking about prayer for food, prayer in time of trouble or a "what"s up" prayer) and pray mightily such that even Heaven acknowledges the magnitude of your prayer and you begin to see physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological and academic changes, then only then can you firmly grab back your right which the evil one has taken away from you to destroy. Don"t forget sometimes that the answer to a prayer would only come when you fast, which is refusing yourself something you really can"t do without for a certain period of time while using that period to commune with G.o.d or dwelling on him. Many times, it is only then that you can fully have SH, i.e. have something happen.
When you push the devil, you have back your vision and your life, and a whole lot more.
PONDER:
• When does the Bible tell us to pray? Only during meals, in time of distress, when we wake up in the mornings? (see 1st Thessalonians 5:17)
• Are you content with your praying habit?
• What"s your vision in life? How do you plan to achieve it successfully?
• What are some ways in which your vision can be destroyed?
Prompt:
Life is a battle ground, Christianity is warfare, take it upon yourself to PUSH the DEVIL everyday and see the results. There"d be testimonies, no doubt!
