NO PRAYER, NO ANSWER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

NO PRAYER, NO ANSWER       

TUESDAY DECEMBER 20th 

TEXT: MATTHEW 7: 7-11
Key verse: Hebrews 4:16, “Let us, therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
We must engage in prayer if we want answers from God. Asking, seeking, and knocking is divine duties that Jesus taught His disciples to do, even when the circumstances look odd or difficult. God places a high premium on prayer and even Jesus understood and demonstrated this in His earthly life and ministry. For sure, God has perfect knowledge of every situation; God knows exactly what His son required on earth; He knows the attacks of Satan upon His children; He also knows the brutal persecution of His children by Satanic powers over the nations, the murder, and the bloodshed. Yes, He can do something about it but He demands that we pray. God is always waiting in the house of prayer for us to come boldly and confidently to Him. We can enter in and tell Him what is troubling our minds. We can tell Him what we want Him to do for us and others in need. 
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Rejoice evermore.  17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Prayer is a very vital ingredient in our spiritual lives. We should not just pray after we have encountered a challenge but before the challenge even arises; we need to pray up and be ready for these encounters. “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). In challenging situations we need to pause and pray, pouring out our hearts to God to be strengthened by Him to walk forward in obedience, no matter the cost. When we pray, we can carry our cross and follow Jesus. This call demands readiness to pray daily for whatever might come our way. Let us be bold to come confidently to the throne of grace to find help in time of need. We must pray, because no prayer, no answer.

Thought for the day: Failing to pray is planning to fail.

Song for the day: We will continue to pray, and never be tired 

Bible reading for the day: Micah 4-5; Revelation 11

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
