GOD ANSWERS PRAYER

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: GOD ANSWERS PRAYER 

MONDAY JUNE 5TH 

TEXT: LUKE 11:5-10
Key verse: “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD”.  Psalm 27:14  
Every time you make a request is a good time before God and He is assuring you it is not in vain; He will answer, if you maintain the spirit of prayer. In our text, God is saying a man in need went to his neighbour for help. This man was not just his neighbour but a friend. He knocked at his door at midnight and said: “I have a problem. I have a visitor and I do not have food to give to the visitor. Can you give me some food so I can give the visitor?” Jesus asked, “Can this friend say: ‘Do not trouble me, it is night already and my children are in bed’?” I want to give you two reasons why the man would not refuse him: He was his friend and because of his persistence in asking. 
He kept on asking confidently because he was dealing with a friend. So, for these two reasons, that man would have his request granted. Importunity means continually doing the same thing; asking and asking and never giving up. Apart from asking, you are also invited to seek for help or provision from God; seek for a way out or solution to your problems. “Seek, and ye shall find.” Keep on seeking from Him and you shall find. Again Jesus is encouraging us to persevere before God however hard and hopeless the issue appears to be. “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you”. Keep on knocking. The door shall open in due time. 
We ought always to pray because we are serving a prayer-answering God. Let us not leave God idle; He answers prayers. Give God some time for Him to answer. It is part of His nature to answer prayers, therefore, men ought always to pray. Pray for yourself and pray for others; pray for your family and pray for other families; pray for your society and pray for other societies; pray for your nation and pray for other nations. Men ought always to pray and not to faint. Pray for your denominational Church and pray for other churches and ministries. ‘Men ought always to pray and not to faint!’

Thought for the day: Men ought always to pray and not to faint 

Song for the day: Everybody testifies You are good…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 17-19; John 15

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
