PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
It is ONLY faith in the Son of God, the eternal God made in human flesh, that is sufficient to pay for the price of sin and save us from death and hell. Without faith in the humanity of Christ, there is no Christian faith. Without the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no forgiveness of sin and without trusting in His death, burial, and resurrection to save us we remain dead in our sin and without hope in the world. Every person, every preacher, every teacher, every denomination, every doctrine, every spirit that does not acknowledge the humanity of God, in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, proclaims a false gospel and is influenced by a 'spirit' other than the Holy Spirit of God. We do well to reflect on this truth, Scripture tells us that all manners of false 'gospels' will infiltrate every sector of Christianity. Let Us Hold Fast To The Truth and confess Christ was crucified, as the anointed Messiah of God and Redeemer of the world, our Savior Jesus Christ is Prophet, Priest, and King. He is Son of God and Son of All. He is the Word that became flesh. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, Our United Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent the Lord Jesus to be born in the flesh so that He could die for our sins. Thank You that He was willing to be born into the human race, and shed His life-blood so that we might live in Him. Give us the wisdom and insight to discern the truth, and not to be led astray by false teachers or heretics. May we feed on You in our hearts, by faith, with thanksgiving and praise. Protect our minds from all false teachings, and may we grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name we Pray, AMEN. The fifteenth chapter of first Corinthians provides the most comprehensive treaties on the resurrection of the body, and life eternal for the believer, in Scripture. We are encouraged to be fruitful in our earthly toil and to Fulfil The Good Work That God Has Given Us To Do, during our time on earth. Let us never doubt God's Word, but rejoice to follow Paul's direction, to fulfil our calling enthusiastically, and to remain occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that our toil is not fruitless in the Lord. The day is fast approaching when we will be clothed in our resurrection bodies, when we see Him we shall be like Him. Praise God that we DO have a sure hope and an eternal inheritance that was laid up for us in heaven, from the moment that we placed our trust in Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a glorious future You have purposed and planned for all who trust in Christ, as our God and Savior. May we never doubt Your Word, but enable us to be steadfast in our daily walk, and strong in our Christian faith. Help us to be productive during our time on earth and enable us to carry out Your work and Your will, knowing that our toils are not fruitless in Christ. Thank You for the truth of the Resurrection and the knowledge that our mortal bodies will put on immortality, at Your appointed time. Help us to remain occupied in the work that You have prepared for us to do, to Your praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. The Warning From The Wise is to be cautious of certain social situations and to be warned that being the guest of a miserly man or ungenerous woman is very likely to blow up in your face, because their apparent generosity is hidden behind a hypocritical attitude or some deceptive motive. Although such a person may offer lavish delicacies or provide generous gifts, we are warned that if their heart is not with you, their attitude may turn on you and become sour even though their superficial conduct may appear to be sweet, such a relationship can easily turn bitter. May we exhibit wisdom in situations where we are confronted with hypocritical people who display an apparently generous spirit while hiding behind a mean and miserly streak or we may become the unsuspecting victim of a mean, miserly person or fall into the trap of someone who displays apparent kindness, while concealing some ulterior motive. They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the words of wisdom in this book of Proverbs and for the warning to be cautious of hypocritical people who put on a show of generosity, but are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Give us wisdom and discernment as we travel through life so that we are prevented from falling into a trap. We know that as a person thinks, so are they. Purify our thoughts, we pray, and may the words of our mouths and the thoughts of our hearts, reflect the grace and truth of Christ Jesus our Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. This verse in Romans gives a glimpse into the other side of the coin that graciously feeds an enemy when he is hungry and provides drink for him when he is thirsty: Scripture reveals that returning good for evil and showing kindness to an antagonist, may result in one's adversary feeling guilty for their unkindness and may cause them to admit their fault. Although returning good for evil can certainly have a positive effect on an adversary, the significance of "heaping fiery coals on his head," has a much greater depth of meaning for those who are God's people, this verse follows another Old Testament quote, which warns: "Never take your own revenge, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine'. I will repay', says the Lord." We are clearly told that vengeance on an enemy is not our remit. Vengeance Of Evil Belongs To God, and we must never take from the Lord what is rightfully His. Vengeance is the sacred premise of God, and a day is coming when He will judge the world, and all the evil acts perpetrated on His people, in righteousness. The mercy and grace of God is available to all, and as His children, we should demonstrate that same mercy and grace to the lost, including our enemies. The responsibility of our enemies is to come to repentance while our responsibility is to obey God's Word: On the contrary: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there are times when we have been hurt and abused by our enemies who have sought to harm us and those we love. We confess, Lord, that at times we would like to pay them back for the wrongs they have done. But we know we have been called to do good to those that treat us badly, to pray for our enemies, and to feed them when they are hungry, for Your greater glory. We also know that You have promised to avenge those that hate us, and we thank You that a day is coming when You will put all wrongs to right. Keep us from trying to avenge any wrongs done to us, when Your Word clearly says: "Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord, I will repay." Draw us closer to You, and may the words of or mouths and the actions we do, bring honor to Your holy name and blessings to those with whom we come in contact. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. Too frequently we see the character or attitude of many Church leaders and their congregants becoming self-indulgent, while at other times we observe Christians being EITHER 1) overly critical of their fellow believers for insignificant things OR 2) prepared to compromise their Christian faith by refusing to address issues of spiritual importance which should not be ignored! It is important that unseemly behavior in the Church is properly identified, addressed, and corrected in a seemly and biblical fashion. However, it is equally important that doctrinal error is also picked up and dealt with. Correction should be done in the spirit of love and the bond of peace, without compromising the gospel of God. There should be unity in the essentials of our faith, liberty and Christian courtesy surrounding any non-essential doctrinal issues, and godly love and graciousness should be demonstrated in the actions and attitudes we show towards our brothers and sisters in Christ knowing that God "Is Not A God Of Confusion but the God of peace." As blood-bought children of our Heavenly Father, we should reflect His godly characteristics, to the honor of His name. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the words of instructions. We pray that any ungodly or carnal attitude that we have developed in our Christian walk, would be identified and dealt with. Thank You that You are not a God of confusion. We pray that You would give us wisdom when we come across disunity within the Body of Christ so that we may know how to behave and what to do in a way that honors Your name and character. Help us to walk, day by day, in humility and godly righteousness to Your honor and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
