For taking your time to study remain blessed.
TOPIC: DON’T SHIFT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GOD
OCTOBER Sunday 14th
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 10: 3-6
KEY VERSE: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. Jeremiah 29: 11-12
God is saying in the key verse, “Don’t shift your responsibility to Me. I know what you are looking for, but I am waiting for you to pray.” That is a wonderful privilege. It shows that there is something you give to God whenever you come into prayer, and it is that very thing that you give to God through prayer that makes you to receive. “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38).
The woman that runs a restaurant knows that when you, as a customer, come to the restaurant and sit down, you are looking for food to eat. But she does not automatically give you the food without you asking for it. Will you sit down there and say nothing while others come in, eat and go? Others come in and make their request but you keep sitting there, silent, and expect to eat? Many come to God, receive and go, but you remain there silent. Have you said anything to God? God says, “I know the thoughts I have towards you: the thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you exactly what is in your heart. But you shall go and call unto Me, and when you have prayed unto Me, I will give you the desire of your heart.”
Thought for the day: Prayer is a wonderful privilege for believers
Song for the day: I have Somebody in heaven
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 53-55; 1 Thessalonians 2
