Don't Pray Like The Hypocrites

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." - Matthew 6:5-6

EXPLORATION

Reading the following passages - 1 Samuel 2:1-2, 2 Kings 6:17-18, Jonah 4:1-3, Luke 18:11-13, Acts 1:24-25. We can see that those who were said to have prayed talked to God either asking Him to help them in the time of need or thanking and praising Him for what He had already done for them. Therefore, prayer means talking with God.

God's Foreknowledge & Sovereign Election

"And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elderc shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." - Romans 9:10-15 (Read to Romans 9:10-26)

EXPLORATION

Definitions: Foreknowledge means knowing something ahead of time. Election means choosing by preference among others.

"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:17 (Read Romans 1:1-17)

History has it that it was not Paul that started the church in Rome but he heard of their faith in the Lord and desired to visit them in order to minister and encourage their faith in the Lord so that they might be properly established in the Lord. According to him, he had tried coming to them a number of times, but one thing after the other hindered him. Despite all obstacles, he was determined to reach and minister to the brethren in Rome at all cost. And this he did through an epistle.

Trusting God For The Gift Of Heaven! Bliss & Fire Network Weekly Digest - Success Scripture December 22, 2009

Trusting God For The Gift Of Heaven!

"And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger." - Genesis 25:21-23

The Holy Scripture reveals to us that Isaac was forty years when he married Rebekah. Though Rebekah was indeed God's chosen wife for Isaac, they did not have a child for twenty years. (Genesis 25:26)

The Lord’s Prayer (Part 3)-Bliss & Fire Network Weekly Digest - Success Scripture December 15, 2009

The Lord's Prayer (Part 3)

"The Fatherhood Of God"

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:9

EXPLORATION

Prayer involves devotion, trust, respect and a sense of dependence on the One to whom prayer is directed. The Lord's Prayer opens with a reverent address which says "Our Father which art in heaven" (Matthew 6:9). This indicates a relationship between the one who prays and the ONE to whom prayer is directed. It is like a father-child relationship, which is one of the factors that enhance prayer. Are you a child of God? In praying, do you address God as a humble child will address a beloved father? If this is not the case, you can start a relationship of this type with God today. The bible says "As many as received him (Jesus) to them gave he power to become the sons of God." - John 1:12. "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."- Romans 8:9
