PRAYER MANNERISMS

God's blessing shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: PRAYER MANNERISMS  

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 11th

TEXT: LUKE 18: 10-14
Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 “Pray without ceasing.”
The church is made up of mature believers, young believers, unbelieving members, and newcomers. Seek to edify others in your prayers. Prayer mannerisms in the worship service should be decent so as not to abuse the art of prayer. Strange screams, wild movement, and other unwholesome prayer manners should be avoided. Some have given blows to their neighbors through wild stretching of hands. The screams and strange body movements of some draw attention to themselves and cause many to give up praying to watch them. 
Indecent kneeling and prostration by females in a mixed congregation can stir lust among the males. The pure and fervent spirit of prayer in the church should not be quenched through unwholesome prayer mannerisms. Many spend time singing instead of praying.  Others dance during prayer. Some instrumentalists strike their instruments to create prayer melodies. All these are indications of spiritual weakness and prayer deficiency. We must know that there is time for everything. We must not use moments of congregational prayer to go wildly into speaking in tongues as this may have a negative impact on some of the worshippers. All manners of lying actions and hypocrisies should be avoided. The God we are praying to is a holy God. 
Vain repetitions should be avoided. Unholy actions that promote lust, anger, pride, competition, and mechanical prayers will hinder answers to prayers. The prayer warriors must watch against Satan-inspired revelations which come to destroy and not to build people hence revelation-mindedness while praying is harmful. God can choose to give revelation during prayer but must not be compelled to do so; otherwise, Satan will take over to misguide God's people. God speaks to His people in many ways according to His choice and in the time of His choice. You cannot compel Him. Honour Him. Yield to Him. Believe Him. Wait for Him. He may speak now or later; act now or later. He will certainly act promptly and at the right time.

Thought for the day: God will certainly act promptly and at the right time.

Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony, testimony, testimony…

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 45-47; Colossians 3

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...

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...
