The Lords Prayer
Father…
We call our Lord our God father because he is the true identity of a father. This verse which Christ himself used as a shiny example.
Luke 11:11 say “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
hallowed be your name,
Greeting to his holy name. Our Lord is good, all the time. He does not need food from you rather is he interested in the things of this world. He rather wants your believe in his name and how do you show your honest believe in Christ and his words? Praises and worship. Exultation and Glorification. He wants to hear his name praised higher and higher like the angels do for eternity.
Your kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
The prayer of the kingdom come was before the death on the cross. Before he left us and went to hell to take the key away from the devil. He opened the gates of heaven to us and laid down just two commandment that we should follow… Love God above all things and love your neighbor as your self.
Give us each day our daily bread.
This is his duty to you as Children who believes. Your daily bread will never fall off your hands and his mercies will be with you forever. All your desires and wants in your life that will make your success as a man or woman all links with your daily bread. Your aspirations toward good things in life and your desires towards assisting others in your whole wide world.
Forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who sins against us
Here you are made to understand that forgiveness is reciprocal and that your forgiveness must be as you want your heavenly father to do like wise to you. If your lord God can forgive you all you iniquities and erase your name from the book of death and writes your name in the book of life. Throws a party over your as the lost sheep that was found or the prodigal son that came back home. If your heavenly father will rejoice over your arrival back home to your position of authority by his side, why don’t you have mercy too likewise? Forgive all that offend you for they are not to blame for love is all that matters. Mathew 5:23-24
And lead us not into temptation
No body is above temptation. Even Christ himself was tempted at the point of hunger in the wilderness after he fasted for 40days and nights. He was tried as to know his limitation as a child of God and his responsibility to others. We pray not to fall into temptation because we don’t want to fall at anytime it comes. At this time we call most importantly for the Holy Spirit to take charge of our senses and our desires, because the evil one is very tricky and coy. We always ask for his grace at all times.
