"DON'T GIVE UP TO PRAY"

"DON'T GIVE UP TO PRAY"

Luke 18:1

And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.



When you give up praying, the problems will be increased.
If you increase more prayer, 
You will have to overcome the trouble.


1). Always Pray and Never Give Up;
JESUS told a parable to believers that they should always pray and not to give up like who is a widow in the Bible. Although she couldn't take for the granted living and working because disability. She kept coming to the judge and asking to give justice to her adversary. The unjust, selfish judge who neither fear God nor respect man responded that justice is done to persistent requests.   

Do you feel that nobody can help you, when you are hopeless and helpless? It is to pray the God who is the only one in this situation of your discouragement, if you give up to pray, your life will be drifting like into downstream, isn't it?  

There is hope, if you keep praying persistently. Daniel never gives up to pray when he is supported to be kept in the lion den. Especially the Satan knows that you will be lost when you just stop praying. Daniel was kept in lion's den but he wasn't bit, the bad guys who was kept . It doesn't matter to give up others but you will be losing everything when you give up to pray. 

Lions couldn't bite Daniel who was keeping praying. 
No matter how you are falling down, you won't be lost. 
You will rise up with the most successful. 


It's A Full of Shame


It's A Full of Shame


1 Samuel 15:17

17. And Samuel said, “Though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel.



It is not good to look down on others as if they are not good at, also it is not really good to look down on yourself too. Some people don't like others to look down on them but they do looking down on them-self. Actually, we should be careful not to let the people looking down on us, also we must not be little ourself in our own eyes too. 

1). God never be looking down on you:
It is amazing that Saul was reaching to the top even though he thought that he is little in his own eyes, but God anointed him as a king over Israel. 

God could put Saul to reach the top, also He can put you to get the top undoubtedly. God doesn't look down on you like you have seen on yourself. Don't forget that God is looking at you as you are the best for Him. 

God saw Gideon as a commander who was scared and Peter was seen as a fisherman of people he who got depressed when he got no fish. God is looking you higher than your present life, there is the best of view on the way of your current life.

2). People who are self-conscious, also care about others.
Saul always takes care of people's opinions rather than God. This is quite often those who are little opinion of their behavior, they're afraid of people to look down on them, always get influenced by the situation. 

Samuel had not yet come, Saul chose to offer a sacrifice on his own. Actually, he is little in his own eyes. And Saul chose to keep the Amalekite king alive and took the plunder from the battle rather than destroy everything as God had commanded.

He had disobeyed because he offered the sacrifice on his own, refusing to wait any longer for Samuel. In this presumptuous act, Saul showed a variety of weaknesses. 


By looking at this, people who are little in their own eyes making the mistakes easily. Those mistakes ended up success in their life. If the people who are little in its own eyes will have never been there at the highest even if they are blessed and raised to succeed by God, it is impossible!  


It is time to finish the own opinion of 

who are little in their own eyes.   

GOD IS HERE !


GOD IS HERE !


Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.


If The God who created Heaven and Earth is with you,
Not to be distressed, even if you don't have anything. 


It is not always easy to have your loved ones, reliable and close ones around you all the time. Sometime you may feel like that nobody is next to you. Actually, Gold, Silver and Wealth are not been always there with you because they are not impermanent materials. When the troublesome is around you to tilt and you are getting into the serious tempest, the Father is nearby you, who is able to do everything. That's why we can survive until today. 


1). To the end of the world; (Matthew 28:20)
You may ask a question about that "how long does God be with me?" He replied, "not just one or two days."  He just not come to visit you when you are in a good situation. He is here until the end of the world. 


When you have weakness and you may have a mistake in your life. However, he promised you that "I will be with you all the time." No one can make this kind of promise to you. That's why not to be depressed and disappointed. Be strong , you are not alone. Never say that "I am lonely"  don't think either. 


The God is always with you, who is really affordable 

to solve all of your problems.
