OPIC: PRAY WITHOUT CEASING     
DECEMBER Saturday 1st
TEXT: 1 Peter 5: 7-11
KEY VERSE: Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5: 17
Do you know why you can cease or faint in prayer? This comes when there is delay in answer to prayer. But the Lord is saying to you: “Don’t listen to delay; just continue.” Jesus went the third time, fell before the Father and repeated the same words. Do not stop praying on that matter. God says, “Don’t faint!” Sometimes, it is Satan attacking you. You prayed and even fasted. But you noticed sometimes that the day you prayed and fasted over that bad dream was when it was as if it came back with a double power. In fact, you even decided that it was better you did not pray and fast again because you were afraid it would get worse; it would come with anger to deal with you the more.
Now, let us assume you want to stone a dog. If you lift one stone and throw it at the dog and the dog is the angry type, what would it do? It would jump up and pounce on you. But if you know that this dog is like that, you ought to gather enough stones and carry them on your hands. When you pick one and stone the dog, and it charges ferociously at you, you pick another and throw at it. If you repeatedly bombard it with missiles of stone, it will eventually run away from you. Likewise, if you are serious about fighting Satan, you should get ready for real prayers. You are praying and praying and Satan keeps coming again and again; get ready to pray more and more. Eventually, Satan will take to his heels. But, when you pray once and Satan shifts to ‘gear two’ and you succumb saying, “I am tired of praying,” who then will deliver you?
We need continual prayers for continual spiritual work in the Church and in the world. If you want to get souls to Christ and mature them, constant prayer is required. Let us say, “O thou that heareth prayer,” then God will respond, “O children that often pray.” This is how God wants us to relate with Him.
Thought for the day: We need continual prayers for continual spiritual work
Song for the day: There shall be showers of blessings
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 45-46; 2 Peter 3

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...
For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
