The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Pray Like Jesus Taught

A Message From His Own Teachings

My child, when you come to pray, do not be afraid. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8).

So come to Him with a sincere heart, not to be seen by people, but to be heard by the One who sees in secret. For I have said,

 

When you pray, go into your room and pray to your Father who is unseen. (Matthew 6:6)

Do not use empty or endless words. Your Father is not moved by performance. He responds to faith (Matthew 6:7).

 

When you pray, honour My Father’s name and seek His Kingdom above everything else (Matthew 6:9–10). Ask Him for what you need today (Matthew 6:11). Bring your sins before Him, and forgive those who have wronged you (Matthew 6:12, 14–15).

Ask, and you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7). For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds (Matthew 7:8).

 

Do not doubt My Father’s goodness. If earthly parents know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will your Father give what is good to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:9–11).

When you pray, believe that you have been heard (Mark 11:24). Do not let unforgiveness block your prayer (Mark 11:25). Stand firm in faith, for nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37; Matthew 19:26).

 

And remember this: I often withdrew to pray, for strength comes from the Father (Luke 5:16). Follow My example. Pray in the quiet place

(Matthew 6:6). Pray without giving up (Luke 18:1).

Your Father is near. He listens. He answers. And He delights in the voice of His children.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus Existed Before He Came to Earth

Jesus is eternal. He was with God before creation and took part in creating all things.
John 1:1–3, John 1:14, Colossians 1:15–17

 

One of the most powerful truths in Scripture is that Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem. His birth was not His beginning — it was His arrival.
The Bible teaches that Jesus existed long before He came into the world as a baby. He is eternal, divine, and has always been with the Father.

 

Many people struggle with this because they only think of Jesus as the man who walked in Galilee. But the Bible reveals a deeper truth:
Jesus is the eternal Son of God who stepped into human history to save us.

 

The Bible calls Jesus “the Word” who was with God and was God from the very beginning (John 1:1–3). This means Jesus existed before anything was created. He did not begin His existence in Bethlehem — He simply took on human flesh there (John 1:14).

 

He was with God

He was God

He existed in the beginning

He is the Word who became flesh

 

This means Jesus did not start His life in Mary’s womb. He simply took on human flesh so He could live among us.

Colossians 1:16–17, Hebrews 1:2–3

 

Jesus Himself said He came down from heaven. You cannot come down from a place you did not exist before.

He spoke of the glory He had with the Father before the world began (John 17:5). He told His followers that He came down from heaven to do the Father’s will (John 6:38) and that He existed before Abraham (John 8:58).

 

The Bible calls Jesus: The Alpha and Omega. The First and the Last. The Beginning and the End. The Everlasting Father (in nature, not role)  These titles belong only to God.

Revelation 1:17–18, Revelation 22:13,  Isaiah 9:6

 

Scripture teaches that all things were made through Him and that nothing was made without Him (Colossians 1:16–17; John 1:3). If Jesus took part in the creation of the world, He must have existed before the world was made.

 

Understanding that Jesus existed before He was born shows that He is truly God. He is not simply a great teacher or prophet. He is the eternal Son, the Creator who became our Savior. This truth deepens our worship and our faith in Him as the divine and everlasting King


Jesus said Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

 

Let's break this down theologically, practically, spiritually. Jesus is teaching that: If God’s Kingdom and God’s ways become your first priority, God Himself will take responsibility for the rest of your life’s needs.

 

This is not about ignoring responsibilities  it’s about ordering your life correctly. It’s a principle of divine alignment. The Kingdom of God means a God’s rule and authority in your life, Jesus said the Kingdom is “within you”  meaning it starts internally (Luke 17:21).

 

Jesus teaches us to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done” (Matthew 6:10). This means God must become the priority in everything we do.

As believers, we are called to live under God’s leadership, not our own. We must choose His ways above our own desires.

Jesus also warns us: “You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24). In other words, we cannot chase God and chase material things at the same time.

The Kingdom of God is not a physical place  it is a way of life where God rules your heart, your choices, and your direction.

 

 

And His Righteousness — What It Really Means

To seek God’s righteousness means choosing to live in alignment with God’s standards, not perfection, but obedience. It means choosing God’s way of doing things above our own.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness” (Matthew 5:6). This is a call to open our hearts and let God shape our character.

 

Righteousness looks like: forgiveness, purity, humility, mercy and integrity. These qualities show that Christ is forming something new inside us. Paul teaches us to “put on the new self created in righteousness (Ephesians 4:24). So righteousness is not just good behavior  it is Christ‑likeness.

 

When Christ enters your life, you become a new creation. Your actions, desires, and lifestyle begin to change. As Scripture says: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

 

All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You 

Jesus was referring to the basic needs of life: food, clothing, daily provision, stability and security. He reminds us: Your Father knows you need these things. (Matthew 6:32) This means: God is not against you having things. He is against things having you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life. What It Really Means

Throughout Scripture, Jesus often describes Himself using the phrase  I am  These statements reveal His identity, His mission, and His relationship to humanity. One of the most well‑known is:

I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6) This declaration is rich with meaning. Each part reveals something profound about who Jesus is and how He connects to the Word of God. Let’s explore each description in a simple, clear way.

 

When Jesus said He is the way, He wasn’t claiming to be just a teacher who shows the way. He was declaring that He Himself is the path to God.

In the Old Testament, “the way” referred to following God’s covenant through Moses (Deuteronomy 10:12–13). Jesus fulfilled that covenant and established a new and living way to God through Himself.

Meaning: Jesus is the direct, personal access point to God. Everything the Old Covenant pointed toward is now fully revealed in Him.

 

Scripture teaches that God’s Word is truth (Psalm 119:43; John 17:17). Yet Jesus applies this title to Himself.

This means the truth of God is not only written it is alive and embodied in the person of Jesus. He is the full expression of God’s character, promises, and revelation (John 1:14, 17).

Meaning: Jesus doesn’t just speak truth; He is truth. To know Him is to know the heart and mind of God.

 

Jesus also declared Himself to be the life not simply the giver of life, but life itself (John 11:25).

In the Old Testament, the Scriptures were described as giving life (John 5:39–40). But Jesus shows that true, eternal life is found in Him, the One to whom the Scriptures point.

Meaning: Jesus is the source of spiritual, eternal, and abundant life. Without Him, the written Word remains informationbut with Him, it becomes living and transformative

 

Nicodemus and the Mystery of Being Born Again

Nicodemus was a respected Pharisee, a teacher of Israel, and a man searching for truth. The tension in Jerusalem was rising, and many were speaking against Jesus. In this telling, Nicodemus came quietly at night, hoping to avoid attention. Before reaching Jesus, he met Peter at the doorway.

Nicodemus said, “Tell the Master to keep a low profile for now. The people are stirred, and the leaders are watching Him closely. But Peter, bold and unwavering, replied, “If you have come seeking truth, then you must speak with Jesus yourself. He will listen.

 

Nicodemus stepped inside, and Jesus welcomed him with calm authority. Nicodemus confessed his concerns, his fears, and his confusion about the signs Jesus performed. Jesus looked at him and spoke words that shook the foundation of Nicodemus’ understanding: Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

Nicodemus was stunned. “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time?”

Jesus answered with deeper revelation: Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5

 

He explained that physical birth brings life to the body, but spiritual birth brings life to the soul. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. The new birth is a work of God unseen, yet powerful like the wind that moves freely, beyond human control.Then Jesus revealed the heart of His mission: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:16

 

Nicodemus listened, humbled. He had come in the darkness of night, but he was standing before the Light of the world.

Jesus continued: The light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light. John 3:19

Nicodemus realised that the new birth Jesus spoke of was not about returning to a physical womb but about receiving a new heart, a new spirit, and a new life through faith in the Son of God.

He left with a changed heart no longer a man hiding in the shadows, but one beginning to walk toward truth.

 

According to Nicodemus  true transformation begins when we come to Jesus honestly, even if we come in the night, even if we come with fear, even if we come with questions.
