" If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14

God has presented 4 things that we need to do for Him to hear us, forgive us and to heal/restore us physically speaking.

First. Be humble.

This is not just about us having humility towards God but this is also us being humble in the world, to all sorts of people... to everyone. So don't think highly of yourself. I think we can best treat people thinking they are higher than us. In that way we can respect everyone without social standing the society creates because that barrier can start a conflict. Remember be humble & stay humble.

Second. Pray.

Praying is as they say, talking to God. This is one way of communicating, while the other one is listening.Praying is talking to God, & when you pray He listens (communication). I'd like to share a reminder, what we have with God is a relationship, and so talk with God in such a way that is not focus on asking Him what you need/ for supplication alone.

Imagine you have someone with you, a friend, or your sibling, or a girlfriend/boyfriend... And if he/she constantly ask you to buy him/her stuffs/food or you providing his/her needs all the time & doesn't even ask 'how are you?'...like every time he/she opens his/her mouth and talks to you its always about what he/she needs. Would you feel used? Right?! I would feel that that person is only using me & he/she doesn't really love me. Is that the kind of relationship i want? No!

We should think it through? How do we pray? Can we even thank God more or do we ask more than we could thank Him?

Third. Seeking God.

Though we can't really see God with our human eyes because God is a Spirit. But i don believe we can see Him through the Word of God.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," - John 1:1,14

Jesus Christ.

If we seek Him, He will be found. Jesus is the imagine of our invisible God. A living proof of God's amazing love to the world.

Seeking God is not only reading the Word, importantly it is living and keeping the Word of God. It is only when you understand that you can live it out for the world to see the light in you thru Jesus, the Son of God.

If you are able to understand the Word, you can then be able to see God in everything and in all things life has to offer. How He is there during the day? And how He is present during the night?

Fourth. Repentance.

To turn away from sins.

Also this can be best say, to renew one's mind. When you have a changed mind, a mind desiring Godly things then it is the only way we can be a new creation. Becoming new that is prone to changes because i believe a true christian is a changed or new man. A person claiming to be a christian yet he has not change his old ways/ sinful ways, if that is the case that person is not a true christian at all.

Becoming a christian is becoming Christ-like.

To turn from wickedness is necessary.

Without these four notes it is impossible to be blessed & favoured by God that will end up to eternity. Be sure to do all that God has commanded us to do because it is the only way He can bless us.

If we claim to be His child, who are called by my name... which means we carry God's name with us in the same way we carry our father's of family's name. We are carrying God's name us we become a child of God thru our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Go into the world and make your Father who is in Heaven proud.

To God be the glory!
