THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 3 ACCESS TO DIVINE LEADING!


 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. Acts 13:2

Fasting and prayer gives us access to His leading. The early church wanted to be sure of those to send with the gospel to Cyprus. Instead of making their choice through the senses or  by men's opinion they decided to make out time to fast and pray about their decision. As we can see in our scriptural text, the bible says the Holy Spirit led them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work. When we fast and pray the Holy Spirit can lead us to make the right decisions this year,work with the right people and be in the right place.

A lot of people make a mess of their life and ruin their destiny because they don't spend time to enquire from God through fasting and prayers. Fasting helps increase your spiritual sensitivity. It makes the spirit to dominate the flesh and as a result of that, you are able to discern accurately the perfect will of God concerning you at all time.

Don't be in a hurry this year and start running around in the power of the flesh but rather seek for the help of the spirit. Remember the bible says in Zechariah 4:6  This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubabel, saying, not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

How you start can have an effect on how you will end. Start with God and you will have a blessed year. 

Psalm 23:3   True to your word, you let me catch me breath and send me in the right direction. 

Exodus 13:21  God went ahead of them in a Pillar of Cloud during the day to guide them on the way, and at night in a Pillar of Fire to give them light;

Don't be led by your feelings, information on your local television, environmental factor, be led by God. Let Him take the lead then you follow. Halleluyah! 

Pray With Me:

1. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. 

2. Increase my sensitivity oh Lord and help me to be more yielded to your leading in Jesus name.

3. Holy Spirit influence dominates my mind and my entire life, for extraordinary living in Jesus name. Amen

PRAYER OF SALVATION:

I believe you have been blessed by this message. I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying this prayer now;

Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, I believe you died for  me and resurrected for my justification. 

Today, I confess with my mouth that I accept Jesus into my life as my Lord and Saviour; I receive forgiveness of all my sins. I'm born again. Thank you Lord for the salvation of my soul. AMEN

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

THE JOY OF SERVING GOD

And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”. - Joshua 24:15 Joshua certainly understood how joyful it was to serve the LORD. So many do not understand the benefits of serving the LORD. Joshua refused to follow the opinions of the majority of the people but made it his personal decision to serve the Lord with his household. Serving the Lord has to be a personal decision you make with God. Even when others refuse to yield themselves to the work of God because of their ignorance of the blessings of service, you would joyfully make yourself a vessel that God can use at all times because you have understanding of God’s blessings. Few reasons why many do not serve the Lord: 1. They think they don’t have the time. 2. They will do it later. 3. T

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT

But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17 There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT) Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecutio
