TOPIC: TESTIMONY: GOD ANSWERS PRAYER – Part 1
TEXT: 1 John 5:14-15
KEY VERSE: Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Today, I shall be sharing some testimonies among our brethren for your edification.

“I have been without job since 2016 when I resigned from my place of employment in my determination to live a holy life and make heaven. After my resignation, I began to suffer serious hardship and hunger. No food at home, no money to pay my children’s school fees, no money to pay my house rent that fell due and I was given quit notice. I was prepared to do any job but none came my way. At a time, I started working as a labourer but I later had to stop.  The hunger was so severe that I started collecting food on credit and borrowing money from neighbors. There is a song we usually sang in our unit meeting which I love so much. It says … Oh yes, He answers prayer. The Lord we serve answers prayer, only Jesus answers prayer.

I sang this song always even though I was not paying careful attention to what I was singing. One day as I meditated on the word of God, a question flashed through my mind: “Where is the proof in your life that the Lord answers prayer? You have been singing this song but you have no job to show for it.” Immediately, I jumped up and made the song my prayer point.  From that day I changed my prayer to, ‘God, prove in my life that truly you answer prayer.’ From then, I would boldly proclaim at our unit meeting that they should watch out for the wonders the Lord would do in my life. I also did the same in our chapter and combined zonal meetings. I would tell my fellow brethren that although I have not received it, I could see it coming and the Lord is assuring me that He answers prayers of His children. A week after 2018 Youth Conference, I received a call from a man and he said ‘Are you Mr. Kayode?’ I answered ‘yes’ and he continued, ‘Your appointment letter has been ready since and you only have tomorrow to pick it up before it expires.’”

(To be continued tomorrow)

Thought for the day:  Truly God answers prayers. He does not forsake the righteous.
Song for the day:   Oh yes, He answers prayer. The Lord we serve answers prayer …
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 17-18; Acts 19:1-20

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 wa...
