DO NOT FAINT

-

Text : Luke 18:2 

Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up).

Tonight, many people shall be praying, deciding and resolving on new life they would like to embrace in the year 2021. 

One major resolve I will however encourage you to make in this coming year is never to faint in God's presence (place of PRAYER). Jesus said, "man ought always to pray and not faint" This is talking to us about the kind of attitude you must embrace in 2021. You must prepare to never allow any challenge take you out of God's presence. Do not give up. Do not loose heart. Do not faint. Prepare your heart to stand in the faith. 

People faint because they are no longer standing in the faith.

"....Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8

When Jesus prayed for Peter in Luke 22:32, one thing He emphasized in His prayer was that his faith will not fail.

When you are fainting in Prayer,it means your faith is failing, hence you are fainting. God expects you to be like the importunate woman(in Luke 18). She never gave up. She never fainted on her request. She stood her ground. She was consistent. This is the attitude you must put on. 

Do not accept a 'NO' for an answer in Prayer. God is always willing to attend to your request in Prayer speedily. ".....I tell you that he will avenge them speedily" (Luke 18:8) 

 *IF YOU ARE FAINTING, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIND GRACE TO STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH.* 

Bible reading: Luke 18:1-8

 *WISHING YOU A GLORIOUS 2021 IN ADVANCE* .

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
