obedience to god

Obedience to god.

Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not kept the command that the Lord your God commanded you, 22 but have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread and drink no water,” your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
1 Kings 12

god expects obedience from us. while he loves deeply and unconditionally, a life of obedience to him pleases him much.

it is so important to obey god if you desire god's favour and pleasure.

o lord, let my family of christians, ern, josef and deborah give priority in obeying you.

god what do you do when someone is unrepentant? you may have forgiven but the person is unrepentant and does the sin again?

you talk about forgiving seven times seventy times, but you also talk about stiff neckness. so what is the balance to attain?

please give me wisdom on how to behave because my maid is unrepentant. she lies repeatedly and i see no change in her.

yes god now you speak to me.

you say let no bitterness take root in my heart. forgive as the heavenly father has forgiven me. but as all things have consequences, go ahead and dish out the consequences which is of course ....

god bless me with someone whom i can trust. bring the person into my life dear lord, like the way you brought jobs into my life.

i need someone who can carry out her job well too, to be able to do housework and cook and look after the baby.

god, i prefer a christian who genuinely loves you.

help me dear lord. i have been through a long process of changing maids and sigh, it has been a difficult two years.

help me lord.

i cry out to the lord and he answered me in my distress.
i lift up my eyes to the hill. where does my help come from? my help come from the lord - the maker of the heaven and the earth.

prayer for children: instilling the desire to learn

dear god i pray for josef and deborah that they will have a passion for learning which will take root in their minds and hearts. i pray that they will find learning a joy. give them a healthy curiostiy about things and walk them through each stage of learning.

where they are lacking, let you be sufficient.

i pray for josef that you will help him to be more organised in his work. teach him to take pride in what he does. most of all, help him to find joy in learning. let learning not be a chore to him, but a joy. give me wisdom, as his teacher, to make lessons come alive for him as well.

thank you god. i need you.

bless both children with a strong learning ability, a strong organisational and analytical mind, a diligent spirit and a persevering attitude as they learn.

i pray for the unborn child in me too. i pray that you will also bless this gift of god with an intelligent mind filled with the wisdom of god, filled with the ability to learn from the people and surrounding around him.

most of all i pray for my three children that they will find joy in learning from you. dear god, let them find joy and passion in pursuing your word and who you are. let them be saturated with the knowledge of god - like the way the earth is filled with the glory of god.

thank you dear god for listening to my prayer.

prayer for ernest, stef and me: Integrity

Integrity is what we are when no one is looking.

Enable us powerful holy spirit, to stand for what is right and not waver under pressure from the world. give us a teachable spirit that is willing to listen to the voice of wisdom and grow in your ways.

make us people who live by truth. help us to wlak with your spirit of truth at all times. be with us to bear witness to the truth so that in times of perssure we will act o it with confidence.

do not let us be deceived in any way. do not let us have a lie in any way. Bind mercy and truth around our necks and write them on the tablet of oru hearts so that we will find favor and highesteem in the sight of god and man.

amen.

jehovah jireh, i need a reliable and trustworthy helper. please bring the person in my life. open my paths and lead me to her.

let me know that the person is right.

amen
