Message
Prayer is a very important part of our lives as children of God. Jesus Christ set the example for us to see and follow. He, as God in human flesh, did not face the day without first communing with God His heavenly Father. The Saviour set time apart to talk to God one-on-one.
Let your day start with God.
- Rise up early (like Jesus did).
- Read your Bible – follow the Daily devotional for the day in Sincere Milk booklet.
- Make notes of what you read.
- Talk to God in prayer about what you read and commit the day into His hands.
You can also present your prayer requests to God. You can pray for the nation, the church, your family, your unsaved friends and neighbours. Also, pray for your own needs. This activity should be a regular one. God will surely answer your prayers.
Further Reading: Luke 18:1
Prayer for today: Father, please keep me in close communion with You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
