WHEN YOU PRAY

Text : Mark 11:24.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive [them,] and you will have them.

Genuine believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are the most privileged people on earth. This is because they have direct access to the highest throne in heaven and on earth.

We shall be x-raying our study text in order to draw out hidden treasures of wisdom from what our Lord Jesus is saying to us.

Jesus said, "whatever things you ask when you pray..." because it is expected of you as a disciple to always come before the throne of God (God's presence) in prayer. 

The first phase, "whatever things you ask" indicates that God is always willing to attend to every details of your request. Nothing is too small or too big to present before the Lord in prayer.

The phrase, "when you pray" reveals that Jesus was only talking to those who have developed the habit of praying regularly. He said, "when you pray" not "if you pray", because men ought always to pray and not to faint. Luke 18:1.

One of the ways to know that a believer has become utterly 'spiritless' or wearied out, is when such believer finds himself in a state of prayerlessness. *When you are not praying, you are actually fainting.

Jesus, while on earth, exhibited a lifestyle of habitual prayer life- He prayed always, and at all times. He prayed without ceasing. So, If Jesus Prayed, why won't you.

A song writer wrote that:
Prayer is the key, Prayer is the master key,
Jesus started with Prayer, and ended with Prayer.
Prayer is the master key.

Keep praying in Faith and the Lord will come through for you. 

Bible  Reading:

 Luke 18:1-8.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please help me to always pray without ceasing, and not to faint.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
