PATIENCE IS REQUIRED IN PRAYER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

PATIENCE IS REQUIRED IN PRAYER
TEXT: 1 KINGS 18: 41- 46 
         
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15th
 
Key verse: Hebrews 10:36-37 36 For ye have to need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Patience is important in prayer. We need to wait for God’s divine intervention and responses to our prayers. We should try not to take any action until we are clear in our understanding of the will of God for our lives. We must have faith to believe that God hears our prayers and will respond at the precise time. Many times, believers do not understand the next move but have become hasty to make decisions. As we see in 1 Kings 18, Elijah instructed his servant, but the servant did not quite catch the vision until seven times later. It is a great lesson to us, that Elijah was not hasty to make rash decisions but was persistent to ensure the message and vision were clear. 
We must be patient to watch God at work in our prayer life by understanding His response to our petitions. As Christian people, we need to have faith that God will always act in our best interest. We have a purpose in our lives when we act within the providence of God! We have access to the power of the Holy Spirit when we wait on God’s providence with patient, purposeful and persistent prayer! We must be patiently persevering, as it shows God that we are serious in our prayer. 
We should not cease or faint in prayers, because the scripture admonishes us to pray without ceasing. Yes, there are moments of delay, but the Lord is saying to us, ‘don’t listen to delay, just continue praying and be patient.’ Remember, Jesus in agony went three times and fell before His Father with the same words. Remember, Daniel, prayed and was patient for the answer of deliverance even when the enemy was trying to rob him of the answer. When Satan comes with the spirit of defeat and impatience, shift to a higher gear in prayers, and your patience shall be rewarded in Jesus' Name.

Thought for the day: Wait on the Lord and be of good courage!

Song for the day: Pray until something happens, keep on praying,g and never stop

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 10-12; Hebrews 11:1-19

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...
