Hello dear brethern ,
Is a great pleasure to share with you the pure doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ as lead by Brother Eli.
You can also watch my video about the summary of the teachings
We have successfully completed 4 days of great insight into the doctrine of Jesus Christ our lord gave us.
From Brother Eli teachings, we considered the topic :The context of prayer
PRAYER IS NOT STORY TELLING
Prayer is not story telling or Just reciting some words.Prayer is making a request to God or asking for what you really need.
Philipians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
From the above scripture, the Bible state it clear prayer is about making request to God with thanksgiving.
We are require to give thanks to God for we will recieve all that we have requested from Him.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Since we are require to believe that whatever we asked has already ,thanksgiving should always been done.
WHEN SHOULD WE PRAY
Most pray when they are in need ,especially when they are sick, some promises needs to be establish ,money ,healing or when they are in difficult situation.
Immediately the issues are over they forget to even mention the name of God.But the Bible requires us to do this;
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing
We should pray every moment, every time ,morning ,afternoon ,evening ,when we are done and when we are happy .
2 Timothy 1 : 3
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
HOW CAN WE BE SURE IF OUR PRAYERS WILL BE HEARD BY GOD
From our previous lesson we learnt that God does not hear sinners.Therefore for us to be sure our prayers will be heard ,we need to have ;
Pure heart
1 peter 3: 10-12
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
When our mouth are free from speaking immoral words and we walk in pure heart ,there is an assurance that God will hear us.
Our heart can be pure when we keep the word of God in our heart.Thinking about it day and night.
Psalm 119: 11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Let always come before our father with a clean heart and make our request know to Him by just not telling Him stories.
