THE GOD WE SERVE ANSWERS PRAYERS 
TEXT:  LUKE 1: 5-17
Key verse: Jeremiah 33: 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew 
thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Zechariah was a faithful priest of God, a favored man of God because the lot fell on him to enter the holy place in the temple to sacrifice unto the Lord. He was a holy man. Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah had no child because Elizabeth was barren. The Lord allowed this condition in His divine plan. They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly. Their childlessness was not as a result of sinful life but was an act of God designed for His glory. The reason for childlessness was due to the wife's barrenness, but in some other cases it could be from the man or from both. Sometimes there is no medically known cause. 

There are lessons to learn from the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth. They have been praying to God from the beginning of their problem but God was silent. It took a long time until they were both old and stricken in years. You may have prayed repeatedly on some challenges, trusted in God for answers and even asked others to pray along with you but the situation remained the same, such that you are tempted to give up and accept the situation. Do not think that God has refused to answer because of your sins or that God is judging you. Do not think it is because God hates you. Be informed that God created you for His purpose and for you to do His will and pleasure. It is not for yourself, else you will not accept suffering, pain, shame and delay for His name's sake. God created you for His pleasure and can decide to put you in any condition He wants that will glorify Him. If you know this, you will be peaceful in your life. 

God answered the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth after many years. I pray that the door of answered prayers be opened to you now, to receive answers to your prayers of many years in the name of Jesus. Recover your faith that you threw into the dustbin, thinking that it was no longer useful. The God of your life has remembered you. The God of HOREMOW has remembered your life.

Thought for the day: May God bathe His people with answers to prayers
Song for the day: O yes He answers prayers (2x), the God we serve answers….
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 7-8; 1 Timothy 2

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...
