Welcome to the 6pm Prayer

6pm

Our prayer point for the hour is for –

Contrition

Our Text for the hour is –

Matthew 15:8 This people draw nigh to me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Let's Ponder on –

Did you know that you can worship God in vain? Did you know that if you are not following the commandments of God, your worship can be a farce?

Many of us have been so used to hearing that God understands our sinful lifestyle or that God has a grace period for living in sin, that we have forgotten the simple fact that, if we love him, we must keep his commandments! Well, worship is an intimate act that is not just what you say about God, but how you live before God. When we worship God, it's about Him not us! When we praise God, it's about who He is, what He's done and what He is capable of doing. During the WORSHIP of God, there has to be reverence and glory created by our admiration and adoration of him. We must worship him in spirit and in truth! Spirit, meaning that He is spirit and truth, meaning that our hearts are right before Him and we desire His things!

Our Song for the hour is –

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken

Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom

Forgive me for my unbelief

Renew the fire again

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

I have built an altar where I worship things of men

I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You

Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing

Pardon my transgressions

Help me love You again

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies

Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end

I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence

Your grace forever shining

Like a beacon in the night

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
