DON'T STOP PRAYING

JUNE 7TH – CAPSULE 7

TOPIC: DON'T STOP PRAYING

BIBLE TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 12 VS 23 – Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. But I will teach you the good and the right way.

Prayer is a very essential tool in our everyday lives as Christians. We need to activate a praying heart wherever we go, for it is the will of God for us to live by and to walk in. The Bible records the lifestyles and patterns of various praying men and women of God who through their consistency received answers from the Lord at all times.

The book of James 5 vs 16b reveals this much when we pray continuously. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. Indeed it accomplishes much in various areas we channel them to. Don’t stop praying for yourself, your family, your career, your education, your marriage, the church, those God place under your care and those God place above you. 1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17 also sounds it clear – ‘pray without ceasing (Be consistent in prayers)’.

Prophet Samuel revealed that when we fail to pray for others we have sinned against God. Christ instructs us to pray also for our enemies. Men will disobey, disrespect and insult you as they do to God, but it is not in our hands to determine their fate but we are all instructed to interceded on their behalf with hope of their turnaround. When we stop praying for such individuals and they die in sin, God will hold us responsible for their deaths, because we disobeyed His direct commands.


Prayer: Lord, give unto me the grace to pray without ceasing in Jesus name.

Insight: Don’t stop praying, instead increase your hours of prayers in love. Your prayer might save one soul and a million tomorrow (generations).

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...
