Delight in Preaching God's Word Always- Isaiah 6:9 -13

  "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."  (Isaiah 6:10). Polycarp, who lived in the first generation after the apostles, was born in Smyrna and later became the bishop of the city. He was the last survivor of those who had talked with the eyewitnesses of Jesus. As a very old man, he was arrested, tried and condemned. When asked to renounce his faith in Christ, he replied, "Eighty-six years have I served him and he hath done me no wrong. How can I speak evil of my King who saved me? He was set ablaze. But the flames refused to consume him, he was killed with the sword and then burned. Isaiah was commissioned to a spiritually insensitive people, a people who were dull of hearing. They were dull of hearing because they had no interest in hearing the word of God preached. Thus, the prophet voiced his frustration because of the fut

The act of Praying without Ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5:17


1 Thessalonians 5:17; "Pray without ceasing."

In order to improve your holy joy, always be in a spirit of prayer, retain a continual sense of your spiritual wants, and of your dependence on God, through Christ, for the supply of those wants, and let your desires for that supply to be frequently offered up to God in faith. Let your heart aspire after God and long for a further acquaintance with Him; conformity to Him and enjoyment of Him. Be constant in the use of private and fervent prayer at all seasons. Joining also at all opportunities with your family, Christian friends and the congregation of God's people in social and public addresses to the throne of grace. 

In everything give thanks remembering not only your dependence on God, but your obligation to Him for all things temporal and spiritual and being persuaded that you can never be in such circumstances of affliction, but that you have much greater cause for thankfulness than complaint. This is Christian perfection. When you complain, the Holy Spirit cannot help you. You limit God. God is always there for you. He is there for the just and the unjust.
Matthew 5:45; "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

Our Lord has purchased joy as well as righteousness for us. Through Christ death on the Cross, we have been redeemed, delivered, reconciled, justified and declared righteous. We have become the righteousness of God. 

It is the design of the Gospel, that being saved from guilt, we should be happy in the love of Christ. 

Prayer can be said to be the breath of our spiritual life. So much as we really enjoy the presence of God so much, prayer and praise should be offered to Him persistently, fervently and diligently. Otherwise our rejoicing is merely just a delusion. 

God is omnipresent; He is always with you. No matter what, He will always take care of you. (Colossians 4:2). Thanksgiving is inseparable from true prayer. They are essentially connected. He that always prays, is forever giving praise. Both for prosperity and the greatest adversity. 

You must bless God in all things; look on them as coming from God and receive them only for His sake. Not refusing or disliking anything. For this you should rejoice, pray and give thanks. This is the will of God in Christ Jesus, who is always holy, just, good and always pointing at our salvation.
           
 Glory Hallelujah!!
