PRAY CONTINUALLY

Text : 1Th 5:17. Luke 18:1

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint_ ;

*_Pray without ceasing_ .*

This is one command given to us as believers. Many have excused it out that it is not humanly possible to pray at all times, but God will never tell us to do what you don't have capacity to do.

You can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth you. Phi 4:13.

Jesus said in Luke 18:1 that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; That is, men(man and woman) ought to *PRAY ALWAYS*. When you desist from praying, then, you start to faint, you start to give up or lose heart.

To this end, He gave a parable to buttress His point. Permit me to point out some obvious from this parable.

1. The woman was appealing to a judge with these two prominent character:

(a) He has no fear of God.

(b) He has no regard for men.

These are the exact opposite of who God is.

Our God is a Just God. Deuteronomy 32:4. And He is a compassionate God who is always mindful of humans- "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?".Psa 8:4 .

2. She wouldn't stop appealing nonetheless. The woman got answer to her request not because the unjust Judge had repented, but because she wouldn't give up. Though she knew the Judge was unjust, yet she wouldn't stop demanding for her right.

Jesus used a very terrible personality in comparison to God in order to prove a principle to us in prayer. *THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSISTENCY*

If consistency works for an unjust Judge, how much more our loving God.

You do not receive because you gave up. *PRAY WITHOUT CEASING*

*DON'T WAIT TILL YOU ARE IN DIFFICULT SITUATION BEFORE YOU START PRAYING, THEN PRAYING COULD BE DIFFICULT. LEARN TO PRAY AHEAD OF SITUATION. AND DO IT AT ALL TIMES.*

Bible reading: Luke 18:1-8.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text: 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things. *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy 4:8. You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy 6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life. When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text : Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware. However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called believers. That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew 7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.* Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
