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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
