Family prayer series: No Pressure

Reading and Meditation

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

“Memorize his laws, and tell them to your children over and over again, talk about them all the time, whether you’re at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night or getting up in the morning.” v 7 [CEV]

It is a wide know fact and saying, that a praying family is a wining family, prayers helps family to love and stay together. So between now and the next few days, we would be looking at some suggestion to help prepare you to begin praying as a family.

For today; the first suggestion is –no pressure-let Jesus lead and the Holy Spirit guide. One or both parents are to take the initiative to begin family prayer. However children can also be the catalyst. Either way, the parents will need to guide the family into spiritual adventure.

As a parent you must note that you don’t need to be ‘prayer expects’. All you need is to move in obedience with the power and strength of Christ. He has called you to pray as a family, and He will be faithful to teach you as a family through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t be ashamed now, that you can’t pray, very well in present of your family, throw pride away, instead make you family see Jesus as their teacher; who will bring you all to Gods throne. Not only will this take pressure off you, but it will also afford you the opportunity to learn along with your family.

Lesson Learnt

Never be ashamed that you can pray very well, but be ashamed that you are not making effort to grow in your prayer life.

Prayer Point

Lord Jesus, a praying family is a wining family, Lord teach my family to pray. (Amen)

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
