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

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...
