LET US PRAY

-

"Prayer is the key, prayer is the master key, prayer is the master key, Jesus started with prayers and ended with prayers . . ."


This was a song we learnt as children and indeed all children ought to be brought up with songs like this.


Colossians 4:2

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;


One of the signs of not being in the spirit is when our prayers begin to cease.


It is an evidence of not having the continual consciousness of God.


When the bible mentions prayer it always ask us to do something along side:


Matthew 26:41

"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


Ephesians 6:18

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--


Colossians 4:2

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;


1Peter 4:7

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.


The bible said we should be watchful!


A prayerful christian is also a watcher. We must watch to see what God is showing us, to know what time and season it is and to know when temptation arises.


We have people who claim to pray but they are not watchful: They are ASLEEP!


When God does speak, they do not hear.


When God shows them a sign, they miss it.


When temptation comes they fall right into it.


Prayer is not mere shouting or reciting words giving to you by a priest, prophet, pastor or whoever, it must have you in it and it is by God's own Spirit dwelling in you. For the Spirit knows the will of the Heavenly Father:


Romans 8:26-27

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.


Praying in public cannot be replaced with private intercession and prayers. Whether we pray in groups or as individuals, we ought to watch that we do not miss that which is revealed to us.


God is alive and His angels are still on assignment for us. May we always be watchful that we may not miss that which is meant for us.


Have you talked one on one with God today? Do you pray at least once a day with your immediate family? Wake up!


Let us pray.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@ the watcher

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
