TOPIC: EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER AVAILETH MUCH        November Saturday 2nd
TEXT: James 5: 15-18
KEY VERSE: Colossians 4:12 “Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.”
Thank God for your righteousness. Thanks to God that you are not committing sin; you maintain holiness. But then, to make your holiness a blessing to others, you need to add fervent prayer to it. To make your holiness consistent, you need to add fervent prayer to it. You tired to cast out a devil but could not - the reason is that your prayer level has not reached that point of “effectual fervent prayer.” How can you be addressing a demon with in a leisure prayer? Who are you talking to? Is it demons, who are known to be stubborn and resistant? Add prayers to your righteousness to make it strong and useful. Add effectual fervent prayer to your righteousness to make you a blessing to others; to make you a resourceful Christian; to make you the one that can heal and deliver people by the word of God and the name of Jesus.
Practice fervency in your private prayers. Do not let sleep take you away. Every day you fail to pray is a minus in your life. Every day you did not pray is a minus because the strength you have is like fuel, and fuel gets consumed with activities; fuel gets consumed with distance. Every distance you go with your car or motorcycle burns fuel. If you do not think of replenishing the fuel as you cover the miles, your journey will stop on the way. So, if you do not renew your prayer strength, your Christian life will cease on the way.
Answer to prayer is directly related to your duty of prayer. What if you really have some problems but keep quiet? You really have some things to contend with and, while others are praying, you just keep quiet, thinking it in your heart. Angels do not know what you are thinking; or do they? If they do not, how then will they take action? They will not act until you say something. This emphasizes the value of prayer. There is time for silent prayer and there is time for audible prayer. Audible prayers have greater benefits. Do you keep quiet when others are praying? Jesus did not pray in that way. If He was the prayer-thinking type, His prayers would not have been written down in the Bible. If Jesus was a silent-praying type, His disciples would not have come to Him and said, “Teach us to pray” because nothing would have inspired them.
Thought for the day: Learn to say your prayer out.
Song for the day: I will continue to pray, and never be weary.....
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 33-35; Titus 3

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...
