(Midweek Devotion - 1 Timothy, 17 May 2023) 1 Timothy 2:1-4      1  First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, 2  even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3  Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, 4  since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Today, we just read one of the important references for Christian’s primary discipline in prayer. We have heard many exhortations about prayers like what is our guide in prayer, how can we make our prayers effective, how often we should pray, benefits of praying, and even principles of prayers. Praying is each and every Christian’s tool to communicate with God.

Ephesians 6:18 - “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

This mission works grew and later have been embraced as the primary faith movement in this land. As we are also partakers of the great thing this land has to offer, it won’t be an abuse to include this land in our prayers as well. There are many things that has ...

Mark 1:35 - And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. From the last couple of weeks, we are choosing to remodel the ministry that the Lord has given us by revisiting the works of Jesus Christ as He begins His ministry here on earth. His Spiritual Gifts which He poured out to His body helps to equip us until we reach the fullness of Christ in us (Ephesians 4:11-13). He showed us the importance of FIND-ing the lost soul that Jesus might save them (Luke 19:10), which he revealed His purpose for each and everyone of us. That we have to be a disciple, to disciple, and to make disciples until we continuously duplicate Christ in our every disciple’s lives. Both the ministry and the purpose works in relation to each other that gifts shared within the ministries will be directed proportionally to the purposes given. And this is being achieved by the act of proclaiming the Word of God, which ...
