Tuning In to God

TOPIC - Tuning In to God

BIBLE TEXT - The next day as Cornelius’s messengers were nearing the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray. It was about noon, and he was hungry. But while lunch was being prepared, he fell into a trance. - Acts 10:9-10





God never stops communicating His will to His people, and in this particular situation, He had a historic, world-changing message for Peter and the apostles—a message that would extend God’s kingdom to the Gentiles and ultimately, to all the nations of the earth. Peter received this revelation because he was in the habit of setting aside time to seek God. 

He was a busy leader with huge ministry responsibilities, and yet he found time to pray. As Peter was in a position of prayer, he was able to hear the Lord’s voice and agenda: God revealed in a vision that the Good News of Jesus Christ was not just for the Jews but for all people who would believe in his name. Who knows what God will reveal in our time as we tune in to His Spirit through prayer and position our hearts and minds to hear Him?




PRAYER
LORD, I can’t expect to hear your messages to me if I’m not often in your presence, and yet it is such a privilege to be there! Open my eyes and ears to what is on your heart today. And although sometimes what you want to say to me is hard to understand—as it was for Peter—give me a heart of obedience to what you want to impress on me.

INSIGHT
Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in and through us.

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 đź“… 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...
