A PRAYERLESS MAN IS A SINNER

 FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

DATE: WEDNESDAY18th AUGUST
TOPIC: A PRAYERLESS MAN IS A SINNER
TEXT: Luke 2:36-38
Key verse: 1 Samuel 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the
LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
Preachers and believers who are living their lives without prayers cannot possibly live in holiness. The daily grace required to live the righteous life must be requested from God.
Therefore, you just have to pray. You have no reason and no excuse not to pray. You are even committing sin when you leave this attribute of God idle.
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the Apostle's doctrine and fellowship and in the breaking of bread and in prayers.
Prayer is an all-time commitment. It is not something you do one day and abandons for the rest of the week, only to come back to it again. It will never work that way. It must be steadfast.
If you want to get something cooked on fire (say beans), you don't light the fire and after five minutes put it out, and then come back after three hours to light the fire again to resume cooking. If you continue like that, how many days will it take you to cook the beans?
In the same manner, you delay answers by the short prayers you do without continuity. “They continued steadfastly,” means the apostles were continually praying. Make steadfast prayer a habit.
Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the Temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
In this verse, we can see that a time is set within the day called: The hour of prayer. When it is time for prayer, wake up; stop the activities you are doing and go for prayers.
There are times you do not know what to pray about or for. Yes, the Bible says so. But the Holy Spirit is waiting for you to give you groanings that only God understands its meaning (Romans 8:26, 27).
At this point, you see yourself making deep sounds with tension in your heart and groaning, which shows that the Holy Spirit has taken over. God understands what the Spirit is saying. Or, you may go into speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit takes over if you are baptized in the Holy Ghost. The Lord understands what you are saying.
The Church or a Christian assembly may fix a period for prayer. The family might say, “This house shall be praying at this period.” Whatever time is fixed becomes The hour of prayer. Be steadfast and prompt at it.
Thought for the day: Prayerfulness is one of the evidence of life in Christ.
Song for the day: All the world starts changing when the church starts praying…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 109-111;
Romans 16 #Horemow

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...
