FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself continually to prayer.
2 Timothy 1
Acts 6:4 admonishes, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
Pray against wrongdoing and not be far from God.
WRONGDOING IS WRONG BEFORE GOD
Wrongdoing does not count right before God.
Any conscious or unconscious wrongdoing does not have an excuse to escape the consequence of wrongdoing before God.
The command of God is indeed the word of God.
God cannot be wrong in His word of command.
Making a wrong decision in the word of God is evidence of moving away from God, despising the word of God.
Proverbs 13:13 warns all, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”
The wife of Lot is an example of a victim of wrong decision-making, despising the word of God.
When God commanded Lot not to look back in the route of escape from destruction, his wife looked back to become destroyed.
A simple despise of God can deliver one to the pain of living in this wicked world.
PRAYER
Ask God for His mercy to reverse (God reverses the irreversible) all wrong decisions you have made or made on your behalf that are hanging over your life.
Ask that every wrong act in you that is not right before God becomes deleted for you to gain a stand before God.
Pray that you will not live a life of waste but a life that counts before God for His glory.
KNOW THAT GOD IS NEAR TO ALL
God is near at all times, but the majority are from God.
Sin rooted in wrongdoing keeps one far or walks far from God, taking the position to fall for the enemy (that shall not be our portion).
It does not matter who one is or what title one answers to, will not be evidence not to be far from God.
One who can give heart to God is bound to see in the ways of God without failing.
Proverbs 23: 26 admonish all: My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.
PRAYER
Ask God to enable you to give your heart to Him and make your eyes observe His ways.
Ask that the strength from God become established in you to keep you, not to fall in all areas of life.
The strength of God is His word.
Job 4:4 testify the word of God as His strength: Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble (lack of effectiveness) knees.
Ask that the strength of God in you will begin to answer against everywhere wrongdoing has placed you wrong before God.
Ask that you shall not become a victim of stumbling but standing by the word of God, His strength.
Psalm 119:28 records: My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word.
Ask that every heaviness that has a place in your heart become melted and not be your portion.
Ask that God give you the heart to walk in line with Him.
