WISE SAYINGS
Making the
right decision in the marketplace is also knowing market trends. The wise will do two things to make a
decision. They will get accurate
information and counsel. To make a good
decision always clearly define what you want to accomplish. In making a wise decision you must always
weight to pros and cons in it and then pray.
The wise
things in making a godly decision is not letting events or others opinions sway
that decision. Before you make any
decision consider the values and truths you wish to communicate in this
decision. All decision we make have consequences and the
wise weight each one out.
You always must know the values and their
importance before you make any major decisions.
It is great to
seek the opinions of others but God’s is the most before you make any major
decision.
Always before you make a major decision take time in
prayer and God’s word to get clarity.
HEAL THEIR WAYWARDNESS
Nov
12 – Heal Their Waywardness - Isaiah 14:4
“I will heal their waywardness and love
them freely, for my anger has turned away from them.” – Isaiah 14:4
This
verse speaks of God’s unconditional love for us, and His willingness to heal us
even when we have strayed from His path. It reminds us that He is always ready
to forgive and restore us. Paul in 1
Cor 13, talked about the love of God. He
reminded his audience that it is the love of God that is the foundation for
faith and hope. Faith is trusting God’s
love and hope is believing that through this love you have a future which you
do. If you have family or friends not
serving the Lord for various reasons let this verse and others bring you hope
and courage to continue praying for them.
Their story is not over yet.

POWER OF PRAYER
The power
of prayer does the impossible because God does the impossible, If you are going
to know the power of God the first thing you need to do is get away to spend
time in prayer. Jesus did.
Getting
away removes distractions, allow the Spirit to speak to our hearts, time to
think, receive instruction and quiet the heart.
Jesus had a habit of praying through the
night. Praying through defeats the devil. Gives power of persistence, builds faith, testifies
of God’s abilities and power. When you
pray you destroy hard feelings. Prayer
unites people and difficulties vanish.
When the spirit of prayer is working it arouses the church. When prayer is done with agreement nothing
can stop it.
When we pray you have to have an objective
in mind. This gives you and God
something to work on. James says we have
not because we ask not. When you pray
make sure it is from, the heart. Prayer
keeps you fired up and motivated. When
praying keep on subject and track.
When praying avoid these. Unbelief, avoid distractions, don’t make
prayer boring and long. Be
consistent. Never pray curses or hurt in
another life. Pray grace and blessings
on others and your prayer will bless and be powerful.
BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
Jesus talked about being filled with the Holy
Spirit. This means being immersed or saturated,
This also means he will comfort us in times of trouble and difficulty. He will help us live in victory and freedom. He will help fulfill our mandate and teach us
in all truth. He will live and flow
through us in this dying world in which we live. He will renew and regenerate us. He will produce in us the fruit of the Spirit.
What is it that hampers the Holy
Spirit. It is having worldly mindedness. It is walking in our own ways and being
selfish. It is not surrendering to the Lord. Jesus said that if we were not willing to die
to self, we are not worthy of Him.
When you are being filled with the Spirit
you are in war with the devil, world and even yourself. You become distressed over the condition of
the world and the church. You will be in
conflict with people, society, and others but your more concerned about
pleasing God than people. Being filled
with the Spirit you are not worried about anything that happens to you because
you know God is with you. You have the
inward support of the Holy Spirit.
EFFECTIVE PRAYERS
Today we are looking at the power of
prayer. When we pray, we must not quit
until something happens. Like Jacob we
must pray until we win. Like the widow
we petition God until our answer comes.
Paul tells us to pray without ceasing.
To do that you must have an attitude of continuous prayer. That means dropping whatever you are doing
and go pray. It means you are to always
be mindful of the Lord.
James tells us that the effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous person avail much.
This means standing right with God.
It means having the right motives and attitudes. Doing a personal inventory to make sure we are
right with God. This means we must know
that God is our source.
When praying you must put your total being
into it. Your must pray in the name of
Jesus. You must find your promise in the
word of God and stay on it until you win.
You must keep praying until the answer comes. God wants to see if you are serious or
not. To be effective in prayer you must
walk with God every day. Be filled with
the Holy Spirit. You also must pray the
will of God to be done. This is how we
win in prayer for ourselves, family and friends.
