The Importance Of Prayer (1)    

Sunday 27th April

Text: Luke 18:1-8
Key Verse: Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
It is interesting to know that God has placed a high premium on prayer; so much that even when Jesus came into the world, though being God in human body, He lived and walked in the Spirit of prayer. You would wonder, “Doesn't God know what to do and just go about doing it?” “Doesn't God know what I need and should go about giving it to me?” “Doesn't God see what the devil is doing and should go about attacking the devil, breaking him down?” “Doesn't God see what my human enemies are doing and should find solution to them?” “Doesn't God see what is going on in this nation (what the opposite religion is doing) and should do something to overcome it?” That is a surprising thing!
God abides in the house of prayer: God can do all that we desire of Him, but He chooses to place Himself in the house of prayer so that everyone who wishes to meet with Him can find Him there. So, go and meet with Him there; go and tell Him what He should do for you. Let Him know what is troubling your mind; tell Him what your desires are and what you want Him to do for you, and for others in need. 
Jesus' exemplary prayer life: Jesus was constantly praying to His Father in heaven. One would wonder and ask, “Jesus, did You not come to the earth as God Yourself? Whatever You wanted to do, couldn't You have done it; did You need to talk to the Father? Are You not one with the Father? Why must You pray?”  That is a mystery. It is a mystery we have to learn. Again, to the Father we could ask, “Father, were You not the One who sent Jesus to the earth? Did Jesus need to tell You that He was hungry, before You would give Him food? Did Jesus need to tell You that He was running short of money, before You would give Him money? Did Jesus need to tell You that He needed people healed in a crusade, before You would start healing the people?” It is a mystery; that God would place Himself in the house of prayer. Since Jesus had become man, all men on earth must pray to God as a duty.

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
