TOPIC: THE POWER OF PRAYER

 For taking your time to study the word of God remain blessed

Date: January Sunday 10th

TOPIC: THE POWER OF PRAYER

TEXT: Acts 4:23-33

KEY VERSE: James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 


The Church must learn to pray and mobilize their members to pray. Teach every unit of the Christian assembly prayer. Prayer will drive away fear and instil boldness and courage in Christianity. Prayer will cause the power of God to fill everywhere and you will be walking in the power of God. Prayer will release the power of God that will weaken the enemy. The forces of witchcraft in the Church will be decimated and the brethren will be set free from demonic bondage. When you pray together, the hearts of the brethren will be united in love; the Lord will bring prosperity, healing, deliverance and blessings among you. Acts 12:5 Peter, therefore, was kept in prisons but prayers were made without ceasing of the Church to God for him.  From the experience of Apostle Peter, we could see that the enemy can target a particular person, maybe the leader of the Church to persecute him. The enemy may even want to kill him, but the prayer of the brethren will deliver such a person.


Acts 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayers and to the ministry of the word. “We will give ourselves,” means leaders should also pray. Do not leave prayers to your members only. You, as a leader, pray also. Keep praying to keep the victory in your life; keep praying to keep militant performance in your ministry. Do not say ‘others are praying for me.’ There is a God of justice who knows how to reward careless persons. Galatians 6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. You organized vigil as a leader and you are not there. You organized people to pray, and when they are praying you to go to sleep in the office. Who are you deceiving? Who are you cheating? Is there no righteous God in heaven who knows you are failing? He knows you are not qualified. Will He not do justice?  Rise up yourself, put yourself into this business of prayer and indeed pray.  That is what God is telling you. That is what God expects from you. God told me, “When you organize prayer, make sure you and your wife join those praying. Be involved in prayer yourselves!” 


Thought for the day: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

Song for the day: There’s nothing prayers cannot do, Jesus answers prayers….

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 25-26; Matthew 9:1-17

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...
