Theme: Pray for Others

Anchor Text: Philemon 1:4
[4]I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers

The Christian Life is actually a life live not for oneself but others. The erroneous teachings prevalent among certain Christian circles has made a lot of believers self-centered.

This self-centeredness is evident in our lifestyle, attitude and even prayer lives. Nowadays, the prayer of a believer is usually all about himself. Hardly does he take out time to pray for others. When he does, it is because those people are nuclear family members.

Eve what we call 'intercesory prayers' are now self-centered. I've been in services where someone is asked to lead in intercessory prayers and we ended up praying for ourselves instead.

This wasn't what Paul and the early believers practiced. Paul speaking to Philemon tells him how he mentions him in prayers. Notice the frequency; Paul said not sometimes but always. Imagine Paul having time to always pray for Philemon despite the vast number of people he had to pray for. If he did so for Philemon it means he did same for others. Looking critically at that you'll discover that Paul would have less time praying for himself as a result of praying for others.

A man who carries the burden of others fulfils the law of Christ which is love. And a man who is filled with the love of Christ can achieve the impossible just like Christ did at the cross.

If you notice Paul always asked people to pray for Him. This was because he was busy praying for others. When belivers carry up this selfless nature of interceeding on behalf of one another, miracles come easily because we all act like Christ who lived a life of sacrifice.

I challenge us today, let your prayer pattern change. I'm not saying you shouldn't pray for yourself. Rather I'm saying praying for others should have a greater percentage.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus
