Memory verse:     

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”    – Jos. 1:8.

God’s design for every one of His children is a prosperous life and good success that will make each one stand at the top (Jos. 1:8; Deu. 28:13). The ignorance of what it takes to actualize the design of God makes for the struggle and frustration observed in believers (Ecc. 10:15). Obedience to God’s commandments is believer’s covenant force that paves the way to the great destiny God has ordained (Deu. 28:1-2). When a child of God is experiencing undue struggles, his first response is to check for God’s instruction concerning that area of interest and assess his obedience (2Cor. 10:6).

Fundamental Commandment of Scripture and the Returns When Obeyed.

1. The Prayer Commandment.

Every believer is commanded to pray always, without ceasing, and everywhere (Lk. 18:1; 1Ths. 5:17; 1Tim. 2:8). This implies that prayer is every believer’s ministry. Jesus taught us that our prayer must have its focus on the advancement of God’s kingdom (Lk. 10:2-4). Here are returns from obeying the prayer commandment that make for a great future.

 

1. It guarantees open rewards (Mat. 6:6,9-10,17-18).
2. It invokes strange order of favor as in Nehemiah’s case (Neh. 1:1-10; 2:8; 5:14).
3. It transforms us as individuals (Lk. 9:28-32).

Jesus is Lord!
