An Hour of Prayer (Wednesday 08/04/09)

Scripture Reading


1 John 5:2-12 (Holy Bible-New International Version)



2. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands.


3. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome,


4. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.


5. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.


6. This is the one who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.


7. For there are three that testify:


8. the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.


9. We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which He has given about His Son.


10. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Any one who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son.


11. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.


12. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.



Amen!


This is a thought for tonight.


We know that we love the children of God; and this means, if we love the children of God-we love God Himself.


It is our responsibility to love one another. If you love someone, you will make sure that you protect the person you love.


Who are we born of?


The bible says we are born of God. Who are those born of God? Are those who received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.


Jesus came to His own people, the Jews. Those who received Him received power to become the children of God.


We are born Spiritually. If you are born of God; you have overcame the world. The world has many things in it, but because we are born of God, we overcame it.


Who is he who overcame the world?

The one who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Not the one who is wealthy, intelligent, educated; but the one who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.


By Jesus’ blood, we were cleansed of our sins. People can doubt us, but His blood has washed it all.


The Spirit that we have bear witness; the water and the blood are witnesses. They all agree in one thing that, Jesus Christ is the Son of God.


1 John 4:15


15. If anyone acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. (Holy Bible-New International Version).


If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, then you have life.


This means that you don’t need to give in to the enemy; you are a victorious man. You have Jesus, and you have life.


Walk victorious.


If you know who you are in God, you will not look down upon yourself.


Yithini (say) Ameni!
