THE PERIL OF PRAYERLESSNESS TUESDAY FEBRUARY 27
TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 12: 20-25
Key verse: “And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint Luke18:1.”
Prayerlessness is a sin. In our text, Samuel understood it as such. Believers are commanded to pray without ceasing. This was demonstrated practically by the Lord Jesus Himself during His earthly ministry. The apostles determined to give themselves to prayer and the ministry of the word. Prayer was the duty and preoccupation of the prophets and ministers of God both in the Old and New Testament era. Prayerlessness is an outright rebellion against God. It is telling God to stop what He has started. It is continuing in the flesh what began in the Spirit. Refusing to intercede for souls of sinners means folding the arms and asking God to do His worst (Ezekiel 22:30, 31). Prayerlessness withdraws the presence of God and is a symptom of backsliding. Indeed the prayerless man is telling God that he is capable of handling his affairs and as such does not need divine guidance or intervention. Prayerlessness is conspiring to reduce the kingdom of God on earth, by refusing to pray for labourers to be sent into the Lord’s vineyard. (Matthew 9:37-38).
A prayerless Christian will replace prayer with other religious activities. The quickest way for a Christian to die is through prayerlessness. To be prayerless is to become sinful (Matt 26:41, Mark 14:38).To be prayerless is to become unworthy (Luke 21:36). To be prayerless is to be unprepared for the rapture (Mark 13:33). To be prayerless is to support/promote satanic wickedness in the body of Christ. Christians must put on the whole armour of God, of which prayer is an integral part. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6: 18)
Believers must watch against some habits and tendencies that may lead to prayerlessness. Talkativeness is a symptom of prayerlessness. Overeating, Self pity, refusal to do complete restitution, Living in past glory, Giving yourself to much pleasure, Trusting in past achievements and uncertain riches can lead to prayerlessness. Note that praying unscriptural prayers, such as vain repetitions, use of candles, incense, “Back to sender” prayer books, use of aprons, mantles, anointed handkerchiefs, etc is reckoned as prayerlessness. Prayerlessness also includes the following: Praying without faith; Praying selfish prayers; Praying to God while continuing in sin; Praying without concentration; Praying without expecting answers and praying outside the name of Jesus.

Thought for the day: A prayerless Christian is not a holy Christian.
Song for the day: Prayer is the key (2x) Prayer is the master key
Bible reading for the day:
Numbers 18-20; Mark 7:1-13

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
