This is a reminder to the ones that made promises....
The year is pretty much over and we still have some who haven't paid...
So..if you haven't paid yours.. please do so, ASAP!
Please and thank you.
God bless you :)
Intercessory prayer is not the same as prayers for yourself.
Intercession is praying with the real hope and real intent that God would step in..
and act for the positive advancement of another person(s).
It is trusting God to act, even if it's not in the manner or timing we are expecting.
God wants us to ask, even urgently.
It is having a bit of God's passion burning in us.
Pray for someone else today. Intercede for them.
It can be for family, friends, church leaders, world leaders, and lost souls.
I can be anyone you feel a burden for.
The best gift anyone can give to another is to pray for him or her.
We live in a sinful world where bad things happen to people and people are tempted to sin.
Praying for another person not only helps that person find God in the midst of trouble,
but also helps us recognize the blessings that God gives us daily! "I urge, then, first of all, that requests,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone -
for kings and all those in authority,
that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth"
1 Timothy 2:1-5
Today we pray..
1. Prayer and Thanksgiving
2. Confession and Forgiveness
3. Intercession
"And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." Romans 8:27
Yes we are humans and we make mistakes...but that can't always be your excuse.
Confess your sin to God, and ask him to forgive you.
So maybe your not living in Sin...
BUT... yes we all are sinners.
So..on a daily basis you should ask God to forgive you of any offence you may have caused him.
Make sure you are in good terms of God.
You know what's so wonderful of our God?
Is that he is so merciful, he will listen, and forgive.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"
1John 1:9
"In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
Ephesians 1:7
"It is possible for the Lord to look at us without seeing our sins because when he forgave us,
he removed our sins as far as the east is from the west"
Psalm 103:12.
So hold off on the asking.. one more time.
Start off with Praising and Thanking Him.
Then Confess and ask for Forgivness.
When God sees your not only interested in what He can give you,
He will bless you. I GUARANTEE IT!!
If you had a "friend" who only spoke to you when he/she needed a favor, how would u feel?
Most of us...when we pray we tend to only ask for things.
"Dear Lord, I need this. Help me with that. Bless me...."
We know that God is the creator of all things, and that nothing is impossible for Him...
so we take full advantage.. no consideration.
I'm pretty sure God doesnt always want to hear "gimme, gimme, gimme..."
He knows your heart and ALL your needs.
So, wouldn't it be good to just take time and give him praises and thanks?
Today...
Tell God how amazing He is to you.
Tell him how much you love Him, and how great He is.
Give him thanks for all he has done for you.
"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."
Hebrew 13:15
Praise and Thanksgiving- The act of expressing approval, admiration And gratitude, Especilly God. The offering of grateful homage in words, as an act of worship!
Make time for God...
Give him an offering of praise, and thank him for all the greatness he offers!
