A study on fasting and prayer

Introduction

In today’s Bible study I want to address the practice of fasting prayer. I will be discussing it’s biblical basis, history, it’s purpose in spiritual realm and most importantly it’s importance to us?

Is it biblical to fast and pray?

Yes, it’s Biblical. A quick look at the Old Testament and New Testament history can give us evidence that fasting and prayer is biblical.

A Bible study on salt and light Matthew 5:13-16

Imagine your doctor advises you to avoid Salt. What is the best substitute you can find? (there are sweeteners for sugar and Pepper for chilly) Nothing right? There’s no substitute for Salt.

This is why Jesus said that we are the Salt of the earth. You cannot be replaced. Since the ancient days Salt had three major applications. It was used as a flavor, as a preserver and as a fertilizer as well. In other words to make things better. God have put us on the earth to make it a better place. So today’s study is about being Salt and the light. Let us see.

‘Ye are the Salt of the earth: but if the Salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be Salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men…’ Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV)

A Bible study on giving for Christian missions

giving for Christian missions Acts 20:35 exhorts us to give to please God, for our giving to be honored in heaven and to receive abundant blessings from God.

How do we give?

1. Our giving should be orderly and disciplined. 1 Corinthians 16:2 Paul instructs the church to give every first day of the week when the Church meets together.

2. We are to give according to the measure that God has given us. While this was requirement in the OT, the NT encourages us to give out of gratitude and not out of compulsion.
