LEARNING TO PRAY

JULY 2ND – CAPSULE 2

TOPIC: LEARNING TO PRAY

BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 6 vs 9 – After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father …….


When you say, “Our Father” you are acknowledging you belong to God's family, and that includes all the rights and privileges that go with it. Have you learnt what they are yet? One of the first words most babies said is, “daddy”. Knowing your father, helps you understand your own identity as a son or daughter. I need to know who my father is, and how He feels about me. If you have an abusive father, or one who wasn’t there when you needed him, it will take you sometime to believe, and act on the fact that God is your loving Heavenly Father, and you can come to Him anytime, day or night, and He will be there for you.

Prayer is just talking with the one you call ‘Father’. So, why don’t we spend more time talking to Him? One reason is, that while His love draws me – His Holiness intimidates me. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he cried, “Woe is me for I am undone” (Isaiah 6 vs 5). Have you ever felt that way? I have. Thank God David saw His compassion and said, “Like as a Father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him” (Psalm 103 vs 13). 

All of us long to be understood. Its exhausting to be around people who audit your every move and demands that you qualify every statement. But, “Our Father” isn’t like that. We don’t have to labour to create what’s already there. He knows what your speech and silence suggest, and sometimes you can say it all in just two words – “Heavenly Father”.


Prayer: Help me and teach me how to pray.

Insight: Take a few moment and pray today.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
