*Topic: Prayer : Make it a life style.*
*Text: Jeremiah 17:1-27*๐Ÿ“–
*๐Ÿ”‘Key verse: Jeremiah 17:14*
*"Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise."*

๐Ÿ‘‰In 1952, Albert Einstein was delivering a lecture on the campus of Princeton university, and a doctoral student asked him " what is there left in the world of original dissertation research? " And he replied, " find out about prayer; somebody must find out about prayer ."

๐Ÿ‘‰We tend to tag prayer a life style for only the clergy. This is why when we feel we need prayers we think of our pastors as a solution.

๐Ÿ‘‰Daniel was not a prophet, yet he was known for praying without with discipline (3 times daily).

๐Ÿ‘‰We are always quick to give excuses of being too busy or not being in the right place. But I tell you, prayer is not limited to tie or place.

๐Ÿ‘‰If you can not be too busy to breath, then you must learn to not be too busy to pray.

๐Ÿ‘‰The life of Jesus gave us example to follow and learn from. Throughout his journey, he always made out time to slip away to pray *(Like 5:16).*

๐Ÿ‘‰He also advised his followers through parables he taught them to be persistent in prayer *(Luke 18:1, Luke11:9)*.

๐Ÿ‘‰Often time we only pray when we perceive danger or expecting a miracle; we pray only when we feel like it. However, we are not to live by our feeling but discipline our self to live by God's command.

   *Ponder on these...*
๐Ÿ‘ŒPrayer is one of the five pillars of worship. Hence, it is an act of worship and a command from God.

๐Ÿ‘ŒInother to cultivate a prayerful life, you have to fix specific time *(the alarm can help you)*, and fix it in between your daily schedule as part of your daily responsibility.

๐Ÿ‘ŒPrayer fosters greater intimacy with God, opens our spiritual eyes, gives us direction and impacts the lives of others.

๐Ÿ‘ŒIf you seek for spiritual authority and defence against your enemies, then you need to pray always.

Dear heavenly Father teach me how to pray aright. Amen ๐Ÿ™

And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.* ๐Ÿ‘‰When people interpret the passages of the Bible concerning the judgement of God, they tend to present it in a way to show that God is wicked and unforgiving because of judgements He introduced to enforce sanctity. ๐Ÿ‘‰And then it is the coming of His son that brought mercy, as if God is no longer merciful. But in all our thinking, we must note that man can not be more merciful or righteous than God. ๐Ÿ‘‰People were asked how a nation would be without constitution, and below were their responses: 1. In the absence of a constitution it will be difficult for a country to sustain itself in a long run. 2.Justice will be denied to the people and a chaotic si...
*KOSHER*๐Ÿง๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿน *Friday, May 15 2020.* *Topic: The fire on the altar.* *Text: Leviticus 6:9-13*๐Ÿ“– *๐Ÿ”‘Key verse:Leviticus 6:13* *"(6:2) Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: it is that which goeth up on its firewood upon the altar all night unto the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereby."* ๐Ÿ‘‰The essence of the command that burnt offering shall continually be upon the altar is a significant of God's eternal reign. This specific duty on Aaron and his sons is also extended to us in a way. ๐Ÿ”‘The question is, if the command is extended to us, what part do we play? ๐Ÿ‘‰To ensure that the fire upon the altar burns continually God gave the high priesthood tips to follow and extending these responsibility to us, we must endeavor to do the following in conjunction with the Cohen. ๐Ÿ‘‰While the Cohen is instructed to burn incense daily, we are excepted to keep our altar of prayer burning. Pray without ceasing. ...
*KOSHER*๐Ÿง๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿน *Sunday, May 10 2020.* *Topic: Let your land honour God.* *Text: Leviticus 25:1-end*๐Ÿ“– *๐Ÿ”‘Key verse: Leviticus 25:2* *Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.* ๐Ÿ‘‰Oftentimes when God instructs us on a thing to do, they seem difficult at a glance. God spoke to Israel concerning a land they haven't even possessed. Can you imagine? ๐Ÿ‘‰We are familiar with the idea of Sabbaths of days, where the seventh is dedicated to God. But the case of Sabbatical year is not observed today due to some obvious circumstances. ๐Ÿ‘‰Nevertheless, the essence of this command reveals that every thing created by God deserves a rest. And at this rest period, He the creator, restores vital nutrients to the soil depleted by constant use. ๐Ÿ‘‰Now bringing the message home to us............ paraphrasing Leviticus 25:2 would read........... When you get that possession you so much...
