Applying the 5Ps in the Month of Love and Victory for Victory into Victory

By Benjamin Pulle Niriwa, 05.12.2021

Though witnessing the last month of the year, December, is a free gift from God, good application of the 5Ps of Life: “Prayer, Preparation, Patience, Praises, and PEACE” (Niriwa, 2021) is also a contributory factor. To successfully end this month victoriously into 2022, we must not be over complacent and relax. The God who has brought us this far is with us and will always be us but we must also continue to remind Him of we want.

This is even the time we need to use the 5Ps (Fig. 1.) and read the Holy Books the most. The only person who would go and stand in the middle of the road/street, ignoring moving vehicles because he/she has prayed is one who wants to commit suicide indirectly. This is where applying the 5Ps of Life comes in! To be able to end this month victoriously, everyone needs an action “prayer” (Stupart, 2020; Smith, 2019): this means that as you pray, you also prepare and wait patiently on God.

To pray without acting is like someone who puts water on a gas cooker without turning on the cylinder but thinks that he/she is heating the water or cooking. To heat water or cook, you must turn on the gas cylinder! Action in the sense that whatever you pray for, you must also do something toward achieving it for God to help achieve it. Next week we will talk specifically about preparation! Thank you for Reading!
