GOD ANSWERS PRAYER

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: GOD ANSWERS PRAYER 

MONDAY JUNE 5TH 

TEXT: LUKE 11:5-10
Key verse: “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD”.  Psalm 27:14  
Every time you make a request is a good time before God and He is assuring you it is not in vain; He will answer, if you maintain the spirit of prayer. In our text, God is saying a man in need went to his neighbour for help. This man was not just his neighbour but a friend. He knocked at his door at midnight and said: “I have a problem. I have a visitor and I do not have food to give to the visitor. Can you give me some food so I can give the visitor?” Jesus asked, “Can this friend say: ‘Do not trouble me, it is night already and my children are in bed’?” I want to give you two reasons why the man would not refuse him: He was his friend and because of his persistence in asking. 
He kept on asking confidently because he was dealing with a friend. So, for these two reasons, that man would have his request granted. Importunity means continually doing the same thing; asking and asking and never giving up. Apart from asking, you are also invited to seek for help or provision from God; seek for a way out or solution to your problems. “Seek, and ye shall find.” Keep on seeking from Him and you shall find. Again Jesus is encouraging us to persevere before God however hard and hopeless the issue appears to be. “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you”. Keep on knocking. The door shall open in due time. 
We ought always to pray because we are serving a prayer-answering God. Let us not leave God idle; He answers prayers. Give God some time for Him to answer. It is part of His nature to answer prayers, therefore, men ought always to pray. Pray for yourself and pray for others; pray for your family and pray for other families; pray for your society and pray for other societies; pray for your nation and pray for other nations. Men ought always to pray and not to faint. Pray for your denominational Church and pray for other churches and ministries. ‘Men ought always to pray and not to faint!’

Thought for the day: Men ought always to pray and not to faint 

Song for the day: Everybody testifies You are good…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 17-19; John 15

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
