One fine morning I was deleting all the spam messages and emails. I even unsubscribe many of the unsolicited and irrelevant emails to me. Some were almost as promising and attractive to delete without a second look.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I hate being spammed all the way. It took a huge chunk of my time dealing with them. In that way, it’s been hard to move on to my project, which needs completion daily.
At noon, I was alone – it was relatively calm before the time to pick up my children from the bus stand. Then, something hit me hard about my messages to God. What if I were simply spamming him.
I know I can’t do anything to break his firewall. What if I were sending a message through unnecessary prayers. He knows what is good for me!
Spamming God:
I may bend my knees before him in prayer, but my heart may sit upright proud, and the opposite of my posture.
Corporate prayer meetings were held, it was good because were gathering in the name of God. However, there is one thing I’m afraid of – we might only be spamming the Almighty Lord God.
If it is so then our words and prayers to him would be a nuisance to his ear. Corporate worshippers may simply enjoy the presence of each other, motivating each other, but leave out the most important point of our meeting.
Deleting Spammed Messages:
If our intention were not right, it is my belief that our prayers might go directly to the trash box. You know it is more than what meets the eye and more than what was preached or spelled out among men or corporate groups.
Kindly keep in mind I’m not against corporate worship or groups. However, here I wanted to highlight more on the connections and sending the right message to God in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit helps us with our weaknesses. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans and he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. Romans 8:26-28
Am I only spamming:
Not to brag about, I was praying every day. And even more so when I’m troubled. Yes, I did have consistent physical and emotional pain, which every person with a chronic disorder might have.
Adding to it is that I’m more of the melancholic type of person who needs to keep my emotions to myself at best. Although people might not see me that way.
I’m afraid that I’m only trying to spam God; He sees the heart! There is nothing I can hide from him. When I do not know how to pray to him, the Holy Spirit intercedes for me.
Not spamming:
When I talked more there were spoken words that I wanted to take it back. If you’re in a WhatsApp group, I’m that person quietly reading all that you say and deleting my messages after a while. Many things are better left untold.
No one appreciates spamming. If we’re serious about our conversation and connection with God, we better not spam God.
When we worship God in spirit and in truth, there won’t be any spamming God. A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. John 4:23-24
Accessible God:
Once we have been redeemed God is accessible. This connection and availability, in other words, patience and mercy of the living God is what we must be cautious about.
I’m afraid we were spamming or spending all our time in prayers even though the answer is already there. Rather, we ought to seek the will of God. Yet those who hope in the Lord will never be disappointed. Isaiah49:23b
Do not use the accessibility of God only to spam him, but only to praise and talk to him. Tongue isn’t easy to tame, so let our work of faith do the talking. Rely on him, submit to him wholeheartedly.
