 _TOPIC:_
   *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*
         
TEXT: John 16: 23-24.

KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1.

When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of prayer and taught his disciples to pray.

How can we succeed without prayers? How can we advance in life and move up without prayers? How can we win over the devil that has risen up against us without prayers? But here again, Jesus was the one praying – God the Son praying to God the Father! It was His regular practice.

It is a principle to observe. Observe this principle and learn to pray!

Jesus went into a quiet or solitary place and had time to talk with the Father. You too reading this book must pray. Make out time to pray early in the morning. Jesus cut His sleep to pray. Do not sleep out all through the night; interrupt it and pray. 
You can see that Jesus was very troubled. Something was disturbing Him. The fear of suffering that was in His way disturbed Him at that time. You see someone struggling to survive under the opposition of the devil, praying and even asking others to join Him in prayers. Jesus was asking God to strengthen His human soul so He could face the fight ahead of Him. God granted Him grace. In fact, the Bible tells us that during this time, He spoke with groaning. It was not a casual prayer. He prayed so fervently that the sweat coming out of His body was like great drops of blood!

 *Thought for the day:* Observe this principle and learn to pray!

 *Song for the day:* When saints pray, Satan trembles.

 *Bible reading for the day:* Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2.

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...
