ALTAR OF PRAYER


SCRIPTURAL READING: LUKE 18:1-8

TEXT: "Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up. Left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed''. (Mark 1:35) NIV.

COMMENTARY

When we stop praying, we start to stray from God. Jesus prayed to start His earthly mission, and He taught His disciples to do the same. Having a location of prayer is a prerequisite for starting to pray. The apostles frequently went to a place of prayer. If they wish to advance in their Christian life, sincere converts and disciples of Christ need a space to pray. Who are we to disregard prayer if God incarnate Jesus paid attention to it?

Today, the neglect of the area of prayer is the reason for our failings in our Christian life. We wish to experience daily wins over the powers of evil and all the pitfalls and dangers of this life, yet we have become too busy to pray. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, set an example for us to follow. He was always successful because He prioritized His relationship with God. Let's walk in His footsteps if we are genuinely His followers.

Prayer Points:

1. I repent of every form of prayerlessness.

2. Lord, clothe me with the garment of prayers in Jesus name.

3. Lord, make me to be prayerful and experience daily victories. Amen.

A praying Christian is a winning one. Don't neglect prayer.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
