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

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
