THE PLACE OF FERVENCY.


*DAILY DEW 16TH/MARCH/2021*

*THE PLACE OF FERVENCY.*

_Key Bible Text:_
*And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.* (Luke 18:1-10)

_Bible Insight:_
Believers today have a lackadaisical attitude towards prayer. It’s accompanied by a misinformation that fervency lies in church activities. The truth is that fervency is built in the secret place and not in the commitment to activities although that accounts for service. Don’t misconstrue my words, service is good, but a man that serves in the house of the Lord without a secret place is setting himself up for destruction. He is like a man attending school consistently, yet is unregistered in the school. At the end of the day, his works will amount to nothing. 

Dear Christians, men ought to pray and not to faint. A Christian who doesn’t pray isn’t prayerless, he is a ‘walking dead’ basically walking while fainted. We seem to always water down the importance of fervent prayers saying God can hear short prayers too. But we get it all wrong.

We don’t spend time in prayers to get God to answer all our requests, no, we don’t have that much troubles. We stay long to feed of God’s power; to receive consciousness of our identity in Christ; to become more like Christ; to grow intimacy by beholding his face for a period of time. That’s why we pray, to build our faith; to pray down God’s will upon the earth; to gain ascendancy spiritually. 

There are a million more reasons why we spend time in prayer, answer to prayer is just one of them. WE HAVE A GREATER BURDEN NOW, TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, ALL THE TIME!

MEDITATION:
*“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;”* Romans 12:12 (KJV)

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
