WE PRAY

-

1Thessalonians 5:17

pray without ceasing,


As little children we sang the song that ends thus: (...  Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer...)


One thing is sure about prayer and that is, in all forms, as stated in the scriptures, it must be consistent and never ceasing.


Daniel 6:10b

 . . . he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.


Great men of old had the custom of praying consistently, from Abraham to John the Baptist, this was so even till the resurrection of Jesus and is still continued after the Holy Spirit came down on Pentecost.


Prayers are of many types and forms but the most important part is when we have discussions with God.


A child cannot but, communicate with the father!


As we go on in this second half of the year. We cannot forget to always pray.

No matter how busy we are, we must make time to talk with the Father.


He desires that we communicate with Him if we are His.


If we are to fulfil our purpose we must pray, that the spirit be strengthened.


Matthew  26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.


As we continue in prayer we continue to manifest victory. God has blessed us.


PRAYER

Loving Father, by Your Spirit keep me in prayer, always communicating with You for it is in You I live and move and have my being. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

IT IS FINISHED

-
Acts 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John 17:4 "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. John 19:30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Are you still struggling with religion, with the law, with the former things. Have you been tossed here and there with fear, condemnations, weights and burdens of dos and don'ts? There is good news, IT IS FINISHED. * It is not in progress, He has done it * He is not saving us, He has already saved us * He is not working it out, he has already worked it out. * He is not fighting the enemy, He has already defeated him on the cross, so we need not negotiate with the enemy. * He is not healing us, He has already healed us. * He is not trying to answer our prayers, He already has. So we ask, belie...

WHERE ARE THE GODLY WOMEN?

-
Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; Where are our elderly women? The Anglican Communion has the group, the Christian Mothers and further still the Mothers Union. This group may be called various names in different denominations such as "Good women" and "Awesome Treasures". These group of women ought to stand out as mentors and guardians for the younger women to guide them rightly in their conducts as wives, mothers and christian women. Titus 2:3 gives some description: * Holiness: are our elderly women holy, are they separated to God? * Truthful(Not false accuser) Do they avoid gossip and rumour mongering? * Can they control how they eat and drink (how do they behave in gatherings when food and drink is served?) * Do they teach good things, are they examples? In appearance, speech and conduct? Titus 2 : 4 & 5 That they may teach the young women t...
