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

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 ...
