Beloved i welcome you all to my blog in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, it’s a great privilege to be sharing with you what i learnt from today’s preaching via zoom meeting.
I learnt that as a true preacher of God’s word you should preach what the Bible says and not what you derive from your own understanding, you should seek the knowledge of the Holy Spirit before you preach to your congregation so that you don’t lead them astray.
Roman 12:9
Avoid that which is evil and embrace good deeds, and how do you differentiate between evil and good? By studying the true word of God by the help of the Holy Spirit and the true word of God is the Bible then you will be able to differentiate between good and evil, it’s your responsibility to keep and abide by what you learn from the Bible only then you will be able to do good.
Proverb’s 15:8
So many prayers are in vain,if the person praying is a sinner and does evil he’s prayer is an abomination onto God……God is delighted by the prayer of an upright man, How do we pray uprightly? Prayer is not just a request to God’ it’s should be a communication between you and God! So many churches have different methods of praying but if that method is not in the Bible is a sin onto God, some people and even churches pray by walking around the premises “No” this is not the doctrine of Christ.
Matthew 6:8
Praying and repeating every word is not the doctrine of God…..God is not deaf nor dumb that you have to repeat your prayer, in fact God already know what you want to ask of him’’ he just want to hear it from you.
Let your prayer be a direct communication to God!! your prayer should be connected to your situation, if you are in an accidental situation and you need protection from God your prayer to God should be about protection and not asking God to give us this day our daily bread’ it does not connect and is not the right prayer at that time.
Matthew 6:6
You should pray to God in the secret, prayer should be between you and God you don’t need to show it to men, the Bible instructed us to shorts our doors and windows while praying…. Prayer is a commandment by God and it’s an obligation for us to God, don’t master the habit of praying while standing! Pray by kneeling and bowing down of your head it’s an honour onto God, you should only pray while standing if the situation at that moment request you to stand’ the early Christians pray on their kneels….. the Muslims and the Buddhist religion kneel and bow to their God, and our God is the almighty, greater and bigger than their God” for instance if you visit the president of your country or the prince of England you will bow when having a hand shake with them, but you can’t bow and pray to God who is the creator of them all! Please master the habit of kneeling and bowing down while praying.
