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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
