The Right Heart Posture for Believers' Convention Prayer Meeting


Heart, right, posture— these are all familiar words we have heard and even used many times. But how much have we maximized their import? We need little or no reminder to know the magnitude of meetings like Believers' Convention. However, like the Apostle Paul would say, “…To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.” (Philipp. 3:1).

 

Over the years, the Godhead has endowed the platform of Believers’ Convention with so much grace to dispense pastures for many sheepfolds on the journey to God. But the problem is, an unhealthy sheep cannot feed well even when taken to a green land, full of pastures. Such a sheep might have neglected meals provided before. The sheep might have been nonchalant, sitting and waiting for the day of great pasture. Then when that day comes, it is too weak to partake of the feast. Only those sheep that have been giving heed to the Shepherd will be healthy enough to eat of the great pasture. 

 

Believers' Convention is a great feast, and the prayer meetings are small feasts that prepare us for it. Oftentimes the enemy, Satan, hinders saints from feeding properly during the prayer meetings through distractions, lazy attitudes, and many encumbrances. Satan tries to fill the mind with worries and cares so that we only follow the prayers and word ministration shabbily.

 

Satan’s aim is to make as many saints as possible ill-prepared for Believers' Convention. One of his tactics is  to make you carelessly approach the meetings for weeks; then, a few days to the grand finale, you are filled with condemnation for not taking the prayers seriously. Such thoughts of condemnation, if not well handled, can follow you into the great feast, And what should have been a time of life-changing shift in the spirit may turn out only to be a time of reunion, fashion parade and photograph sessions.

 

One secret to experiencing a prosperous and rewarding Believers' Convention is to follow prayer meetings keenly and wholeheartedly. The right heart posture for Believers' Convention prayer meetings is a heart that is ready to bring the mind and body under subjection, not letting anything hinder it from following through and partaking from all heaven is giving.

 

Below are practical guides to getting the best of the Believers' Convention prayer meetings;

 

1. Attend prayer meetings physically: As much as it lies in your power, do everything to attend meetings physically.

2. Stream faithfully: Avoid distractions while streaming; we will grab the blessings available for each day if we stream faithfully and engage in prayers with all of our heart.

3. Let go of comfort: How we eat, sleep, work, and so on would be affected in this season. We must be ready to give up some level of comfort if we are to participate wholly in prayer meetings.

4. Hear twice: Listen to the previous day’s message, or go through the excerpts. This will help you keep abreast of what the Lord is doing and fill up for anything you may have missed during the teaching.

5. Punctuate your day with moments of prayers and meditation.

6. Avoid occasions that drain life from your soul, such as gesting, complaining, excessive time spending on social media, etc., so that you can keep a safe atmosphere for your heart

7. Sow for Believers’ Convention.

8. Pay attention to the leading of the Spirit.

9. Expect Great Things from God: You may want to write these expectations down; this would help you keep your heart on them and know when they are fulfilled.

 

We can get the best of Believers' Convention; it starts with getting the best of the prayer meetings.



Shalom!
