NO PRAYER, NO ANSWER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

NO PRAYER, NO ANSWER       

TUESDAY DECEMBER 20th 

TEXT: MATTHEW 7: 7-11
Key verse: Hebrews 4:16, “Let us, therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
We must engage in prayer if we want answers from God. Asking, seeking, and knocking is divine duties that Jesus taught His disciples to do, even when the circumstances look odd or difficult. God places a high premium on prayer and even Jesus understood and demonstrated this in His earthly life and ministry. For sure, God has perfect knowledge of every situation; God knows exactly what His son required on earth; He knows the attacks of Satan upon His children; He also knows the brutal persecution of His children by Satanic powers over the nations, the murder, and the bloodshed. Yes, He can do something about it but He demands that we pray. God is always waiting in the house of prayer for us to come boldly and confidently to Him. We can enter in and tell Him what is troubling our minds. We can tell Him what we want Him to do for us and others in need. 
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Rejoice evermore.  17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Prayer is a very vital ingredient in our spiritual lives. We should not just pray after we have encountered a challenge but before the challenge even arises; we need to pray up and be ready for these encounters. “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). In challenging situations we need to pause and pray, pouring out our hearts to God to be strengthened by Him to walk forward in obedience, no matter the cost. When we pray, we can carry our cross and follow Jesus. This call demands readiness to pray daily for whatever might come our way. Let us be bold to come confidently to the throne of grace to find help in time of need. We must pray, because no prayer, no answer.

Thought for the day: Failing to pray is planning to fail.

Song for the day: We will continue to pray, and never be tired 

Bible reading for the day: Micah 4-5; Revelation 11

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...
