Prayer as a Way of
Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio
HIS WILL THAT YOU RECEIVE HIS PROMISES (PART-1)
‘When you have done
the will of God, you will receive what He has promised’Hebrews
10:36 NIV
For
three years Simon Peter had been dragged through ups and downs, victories and
failures, and for what? He’d just denied his Lord Jesus three times. He’d only
gone and proved to himself that deep down, he was what he’d always suspected –
a little bit shaky. Had Jesus been wrong when He’d given him the nickname ‘the
Rock’?
At that
moment, Jesus, his friend, was hanging halfway between Heaven and Earth, crying
out, ‘My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?’ Where was the trusted ‘Rock’
now? Hiding out, shaking with fear. This promise of ‘On this rock I will build
My church…’ had surely been a mistake. Simon Peter was not up to the job.
Fast
forward to the book of Acts, and we see that promise fulfilled. Peter does
become the rock that God builds His church upon. You see, the promise had
always been true. Even when Peter was hiding under his bed as Jesus died, God
still had His eye on him for glorious things. Know what? God’s promises are
true for you. And until you watch that proved in your situation, stick close to
Him. He knows what’s best for you.
Life
Application:
Feeling
brave? Ask an older Christian what they think your strengths are. God has great
things in mind for you; your strengths are most likely going to be a part of
it.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly
Father thank you for your powerful Word today. Lord thank you for your forgiveness to us though sometimes we are
knock down because of trials in life and that our wickedness were exposed you were
there Lord and remember us and you keep your promises to us that you will not leave
nor forsake us. Lord just like Peter he denied you 3x when he was tested when
you were betrayed and at the same today Lord sometimes we denied you by doing
things that are not pleasing to you and because we are taking advantage and personal
interest not knowing the effects of my decision. Lord give me wisdom and
courage to stand strong in my faith for whatever happened Lord I will hold to
your promises because your Word or Promises is good, truth, unchanging,
powerful and is pure that we rejoice in our heart as we walk by faith to serve
you despite of our circumstances we face for your glory, In Jesus Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
