THE GOD WE SERVE ANSWERS PRAYERS 
TEXT:  LUKE 1: 5-17
Key verse: Jeremiah 33: 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew 
thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Zechariah was a faithful priest of God, a favored man of God because the lot fell on him to enter the holy place in the temple to sacrifice unto the Lord. He was a holy man. Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah had no child because Elizabeth was barren. The Lord allowed this condition in His divine plan. They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly. Their childlessness was not as a result of sinful life but was an act of God designed for His glory. The reason for childlessness was due to the wife's barrenness, but in some other cases it could be from the man or from both. Sometimes there is no medically known cause. 

There are lessons to learn from the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth. They have been praying to God from the beginning of their problem but God was silent. It took a long time until they were both old and stricken in years. You may have prayed repeatedly on some challenges, trusted in God for answers and even asked others to pray along with you but the situation remained the same, such that you are tempted to give up and accept the situation. Do not think that God has refused to answer because of your sins or that God is judging you. Do not think it is because God hates you. Be informed that God created you for His purpose and for you to do His will and pleasure. It is not for yourself, else you will not accept suffering, pain, shame and delay for His name's sake. God created you for His pleasure and can decide to put you in any condition He wants that will glorify Him. If you know this, you will be peaceful in your life. 

God answered the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth after many years. I pray that the door of answered prayers be opened to you now, to receive answers to your prayers of many years in the name of Jesus. Recover your faith that you threw into the dustbin, thinking that it was no longer useful. The God of your life has remembered you. The God of HOREMOW has remembered your life.

Thought for the day: May God bathe His people with answers to prayers
Song for the day: O yes He answers prayers (2x), the God we serve answers….
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 7-8; 1 Timothy 2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
