TOPIC: COMMITMENT TO PRAYER AND FASTING (PART 1) 

TEXT: MARK 9:29 And He said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

KEY VERSE: Pray without ceasing. 
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 

Prayer and fasting of righteous Christians are powerful weapons that level down spiritual mountains, impossible become possible. Prayerlessness is like spiritual suicide. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak Matthew 26:41 

Certainly, a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian. Prayer helps to sustains a holy and righteous life, without prayer, there is no holy life. The prayer and fasting assignment of one hour thirty minutes daily for leaders and one hour for members is the minimum benchmark. The minimum for fasting is twice monthly.

The more you pray, the more you become a terror to the devil, the accuser of the brethren. The prayer assignment includes personal quiet time, family devotion, night vigils, prayers in units, chapters, states and nations of HOREMOW. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18.

However, there are some stubborn spirits and situations that required fasting with prayer, for such mountain to be moved. Queen Esther and Jews in the land of Shushan were victorious as a result of their three days prayers and fasting. The people of Nineveh escaped the fierce judgement of God by observing prayers and fasting. 

Jesus Christ the Bishop of our souls, fasted for forty days before commencement of His earthly ministry. Accurate record of daily prayers and fasting is essential to avoid lies and over estimation which is sin. 

Without prayer in the life of a Christian, there can be no holiness of life. Obedience to the divine assignment helps our making it to heaven. If you are faithful in doing this divine assignment your spiritual life must be transformed. 

In fact, many pray and fast above the stated minimum. There are some spiritual mountains that can only be removed by praying and fasting. However, it must be done in holiness and righteousness, void of pride.

Thought for the day: A prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian 

Song for the day: Pray until something happens 

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 1-3

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you want to be f
