Matthew 6:9-10 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. KJV

EDEN

As it is in heaven, so it was in Eden before the fall of man. God placed man in a perfect garden called Eden.

When we look at Eden, we can catch a glimpse of God's master plan for mankind. Before the fall, everything and everyone in that garden were in their perfect state.

Genesis Chapter 1&2 and the few verses before the fall reveals the world in a perfect state. Also, they reveal God's perfect master plan for mankind.

After the fall, everything done was an attempt to restore man to the very state he was in Eden before the fall. Eden was heaven on earth.

No sickness, lack, poverty, frustration, shame, accident and all the catastrophes we have today. God's good plan for mankind hasn't changed.

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matthew 7:9-11)?

It is God's desire to give you good things and for you and me to live in a perfect state of health. The love of God towards us is not to withold any good thing from us as long as it is His will.

Psalm 84:11 says, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly".

Hallelujah!!! We can desire Eden again because as it is heaven so it was in Eden before the fall. Don't allow the devil preach another Gospel to you. God want you well.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass (Psalms 37:4-5).

I have tasted life on two sides and I can tell which divide makes serving God easy and seamless. We can't do missions and conquer the world for Christ on sick bed. Poverty can't propagate the Gospel.

The essence of asking and enforcing the will of God on earth as it is in heaven is to be an effective kingdom ambassador here on earth. Whatever God does, it is for His purpose not for our selfish ambition.

I desire long life and good health because I want to preach and cover many grounds for the Lord till old age. I desire wealth not because I'm looking for a special status but because I want to spread the Gospel strategically.

However, to walk in this heavenly order, we need to do what Jesus said: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" ( Matthew 6:33).

CONFESSION: I receive the grace to be a kingdom addict. As it is in heaven, so shall it be in my health , finances, family and life in general in Jesus name. I reject anything in my life( mention cases) that can't be found in heaven.
