Steps towards achieving your miracle

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: STEPS TOWARDS ACHIEVING YOUR MIRACLE

Isaiah 1:19 KJV
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Obey God’s command to forgive so your prayers won’t be hindered. If you’re unwilling to forgive someone who has hurt or offended you, that refusal to forgive can hinder your prayers from being answered, because God sometimes waits until you obey His commands before answering prayers. Remember how much God has forgiven you for, and let that motivate you to obey His call to forgive others. Ask God to help you forgive; you can choose to forgive even when you don’t feel like it and rely on the strength God will give you during the forgiveness process.

Fight evil through spiritual warfare. If evil in the spiritual realm is hindering miracles from happening in your life, pray breakthrough prayers against evil to clear the way for more miracles to occur in your life. Start by confessing your sins that come to mind, and then repent of each one specifically. Next, ask (in Jesus’ name and through the power of His blood) for the Holy Spirit to help you and the people you’re praying for be victorious over all evil attacks.
Ask God to protect you and those you’re praying for from future attacks by evil.

Pray for any bondages that you (or the people you’re praying for) are under to be broken so you and they can experience the freedom God intends. As you’re praying, mention each issue specifically – from unhealthy addictions (such as to alcohol or pornography) and personal struggles (with jealousy, greed, gossip, lying, anger, anxiety, or any other issues) to negative words that others may have spoken over you and any involvement you may have had with ungodly spiritual forces (such as through the occult). Then ask God to bless you and those you’re praying for in the name of Jesus.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, every evil power holding back your miracle shall be consume by fire

Do you need a miracle?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE?

Hebrews 2:4 KJV
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

View miracles as expressions of how much God loves you. Recognize that every time God does choose to perform a miracle in your life, He is showing you His love for you in a tangible way. Be sure to thank God for His love whenever you experience a miracle.

Ask God to guide you to the truth about His will. If you’re not sure whether or not it’s God’s will to perform a particular miracle in your life, ask Him to make His will clear to you and tell Him that you want His will – not your own will – to be done.

Ask God to help your unbelief. Confess your doubts and lack of faith to God and ask Him to meet you where you are spiritually to help you believe that He is able to do what He says He will do in your life.

LET US PRAY
There shall be open door for you miraculously in Jesus Name

Causing A miracle to Happen

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: CAUSING A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN

Since everything is possible for God, you can experience miracles in your life when you invite God to intervene – even in situations that seem impossible. But too often, people neglect to ask God for miracles in their lives, and end up settling for far less than God’s best for them.

You can always approach God with confidence if you trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. So don’t hesitate to pray about anything, including miracles!

Ways to Pray and Ask God for a Miracle:

Forget formulas and simply seek God’s presence. There are no magical formulas to use to conjure up miracles. Instead, miracles happen whenever you welcome God’s powerful presence into the situations you face. So don’t worry about trying to pray perfect prayers to convince God to do something miraculous in your life. Simply invite God to work in every situation in which you’re seeking miracles, and trust Him to do what’s best after you ask Him to intervene.

Consider what may be blocking miracles from happening in your life.
Sometimes the particular miracle you’re seeking isn’t God’s will,

sometimes spiritual warfare is occurring in your life and evil is blocking a miracle from happening,

sometimes you have sin in your life (such as bitterness) that is preventing a miracle from taking place, and

sometimes you don’t have enough faith to believe that God can really perform the miracle you’re hoping for. Pray about each of these potential blockages, and then relax, trusting that God has the situation covered and will answer your prayers with what’s best.

LET US PRAY
A miracle that will make you forget your sorrow will happen to you this week in Jesus Name

Prayer that God Hears

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Prayers that God Hears

The Lord hears the prayers of the justified and the humble. King Josiah’s god-fearing life, as recorded in the Old Testament, is an example of this. In 2 Chronicles 34:27, we see that a repentant heart gets God’s attention.

You were sorry and humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this city and its people. You humbled yourself and tore your clothing in despair and wept before me in repentance. And I have indeed heard you, says the Lord. (NLT)

God wants to hear sincerity in our prayer, not vanity. As we pray, let’s determine to stay steadfastly humble before the Lord. Fortunately, God extends mercy to everyone who comes to Him in repentance, even those who get stuck in Churchianity, like the Pharisee.

Bottom line:
God is concerned with the heart of a person. So next time you go to God in prayer, ask yourself, am I humble or proud? Either way, it’s a chance to get right with Him.

LET US PRAY
May the powerful hands of God stretched out for your deliverance today in Jesus Name

Power of Praying in the Spirit

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Power of Praying in the Spirit

Nehemiah 2:4-5 KJV
Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. [5] And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

Praying your way through your day with brief, pointed prayers is PRACTICAL.

Nehemiah was in a palace not a church. You would not have been able to eavesdrop on his prayer because he didn’t say it out loud. In fact, you could have been sitting next to King Artaxerxes and like his royal highness not even know Nehemiah was praying. He didn’t kneel or close his eyes or fold his hands in the prayer position.
Yet, he prayed! The point? You can pray this way anywhere . . . anytime . . . around anyone.
Practical, huh?
It’s not practical to kneel and pray in front of your boss when he asks you a tough question . . . or to say to a customer as you’re trying to make a sale, “Wait just a minute while I recite the Lord’s Prayer” . . . or to tell your Exam Officer“Let me talk to my Lord before you begin your examination.”
But in each of those places and with each of those people, you can pray to the God of heaven.
Isn’t this a good reason for praying your way through your day?

Try praying in your heart this week, learn how to pray in the spirit always anytime any where, and the result will be greater than what you expected,

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, heaven will open to your voice and your prayers shall be heard in Jesus Name

Two churches

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: TWO CHURCHES

Mathew 25

From this little parable we can draw a number of important spiritual lessons. As we think about these things, let’s remember that this is a story for “insiders,” for church members and religious people of all denominations. It is for those who claim some attachment to Christ and who profess some allegiance to him.

Every Sunday two churches gather

1. The OUTWARD CHURCH is everyone who comes to Calvary. It consists of members, regular attenders, friends, visitors, and the great mass of peripheral people who rarely attend but still consider this church as their church. As such,

the visible contains the truly converted and the unconverted. It consists of some who know the Lord, some who are seeking the Lord, some who attend but are lethargic, and others who are nothing more than religious hypocrites.

2. The INWARD CHURCH is the “invisible” church made up of those true believers in Christ who worship here week-by-week.

The point of Christ’s parable is to remind us that just because you go to church doesn’t mean you are truly born again. People come to church for all sorts of reasons, some good and some not so good. People come because of family ties, to see their friends, to get out of the house, because they like the music, in order to impress people, or because of a feeling of guilt or obligation or because they think they can gain favor with God by being in church. Not all of those things are evil in themselves but any of them or all of them can be excuses that keep you from coming to Christ for salvation.

Going to church is good; coming to Christ is better.

Being baptized is good; being born again is better.

Giving money is good; giving your heart to Jesus is better.

Being religious is good; knowing Christ as Savior and Lord is better.

You could be going to Church and still not be a true Christian. To some people that is a shocking thought, but it is true nonetheless. Church membership identifies you with the visible church of Christ, but only true saving faith makes you a member of the invisible church of those know the Lord.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you will not lost, the saving power of God will set you free from. Self Inflicted problem in Jesus Name.

FULL PREPARATION

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FULL PREPARATION

Mathew 25

One of the most striking facts about this story if you have been following us is how similar the ten virgins appear on the surface:

· All had been invited the banquet and all had responded positively.

· All ten had gone out to wait for the bridegroom.

· All of them had their lamps with them.

· All the virgins wanted to see the bridegroom.

· All were in the right place at the right time for the right reason.

· All of them wanted to go to the wedding banquet.

· All had some oil in their lamps at the beginning.

· All fell asleep while waiting for the bridegroom.

· All were awakened by the midnight cry.

· All ten virgins got up to prepare their lamps.

· All appeared to be equally prepared for the bridegroom’s coming.

That last statement is crucial. Let’s suppose that we were to ask the ten virgins to stand in front of us in no particular order. Could you pick out the five foolish virgins? Answer: no,
I submit to you that there was no way to tell in advance who was wise and who was foolish. To the untrained eye, they would all look the same.

But somethings reveal the secrete of why they were foolish, the foolish LACK OF FULL PREPARATION, ACTS OF NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO SEE BEYOND THEIR PRESENT NEED...
It's a pity that many don't know what they need now to rest in peace at the end of their life,

Genesis 30:30 KJV
For it was little which thou hadst before I came , and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

All you need now is Jesus, because without Jesus you can't go to the father, he is the door. John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you will end well, you will not die in sin, Satan will lose the battle of your soul.

When he delay

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHEN HE DELAY

Matthew 25:5 KJV
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

When he is delayed, they all fall asleep. At midnight someone shouts the good news, “Behold, the bridegroom is coming!” The virgins wake up and prepare to relight their lamps, which had gone out while they slept. Five of the virgins had brought extra oil and so could relight their lamps. Five had no extra oil. When the first group asked to borrow some from the other five virgins, they were refused. While they went off to buy some oil, the bridegroom appeared and the five virgins whose lamps were lit went in with him to start the party. The door was shut by the time the other five virgins returned. Here is the sad end of the story, “Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’ But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you’” (Matthew 25:11-12). Jesus makes a simple application to his Second Coming in verse 13, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

That’s the story. It’s a little slice of life from a wedding that went haywire. The focus of the story is on the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. Five had oil and five didn’t. Five were ready and five weren’t ready. Five entered the wedding banquet and five were refused. All of this is meant to teach us that some people will be ready and others won’t be ready when Jesus returns to the earth.

Which category do you fall, five wise or five foolish, what can make one to be a fool is to hear the call to salvation and reject it.
Hell is real, Jesus is the way to heaven, salvation is free, all you need is to accept Jesus and heaven will be yours.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you are saved and may the door of favour and opportunities not shut against you,

Not Open Forever

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Not Open Forever

Matthew 25:1-13

Today the door is open but our text reminds us that the door will not be open forever. As I type these words, am hearing a sound of the clock ticking, reminding me that life is short and very uncertain. Perhaps the door of opportunity has just been shut through death. And we can be certain that death does shut the door of God’s grace for once we die, the only thing left is to face God in judgment (Hebrews 9:27). There is no “second-chance” beyond death for those who had no time for Jesus in this life. Once you die, the door is shut forever. Either you go through the door while you are alive or you will never go through at all.

Jesus uses this parable of the ten virgins to remind us that the door will be shut once and for all when he returns to the earth.

God is given you and me a greater grace today to come to him
Hebrews 3:15 KJV
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, you will not die untimely and you will not miss heaven.

And the door was shut

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: "AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT"

Matthew 25:1-13
Here is a nighttime wedding where everything seems to go wrong. The groom shows up so late that the bridal party falls asleep by the side of the road. When the groom finally arrives at midnight, half the bridesmaids have forgotten to bring enough oil for their lamps and end up banned from the celebration. As the story concludes, the rejected bridesmaids are standing outside the door asking for admission, but to no avail. They have been shut out from the wedding banquet. It is a sad, strange ending to what should have been a most joyful occasion. Other than that, it was a perfectly normal wedding!
This passage is a parable Jesus told to illustrate a certain truth about his Second Coming. The parable itself is a little masterpiece, with each detail adding a piece of crucial information. As I have studied this parable, I have been struck by one phrase in verse 10: “And the door was shut.” There is an awful finality about those words. It means that the door was shut and locked and would not be opened again. Those on the inside were safely inside; those on the outside could never get in no matter how hard they tried.

There is a “door” that leads to heaven. It is the door of God’s grace, held open by the bloody cross of Jesus Christ. For 2,000 years that door has been open to the entire world, and it is open even today. Over the door are these wonderful words: “Whosoever will may come.” Anyone, anywhere, anytime can go in that door and find new life, salvation, forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life.

Matthew 11:28 KJV
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

John 10:9 KJV
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

LET US PRAY
I'm Jesus name the door or God's salvation and mercy will not shut at you.
