WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Pray at all times for all things...


Nehemiah prayed in every situation he faced.
In the Book of Nehemiah we see Nehemiah pray 8 times spontaneously, when he had little time to think (I like that!!!)
(Nehemiah 2:4/4:4-5,9/ 5:19/6:14/ 13:14,22,29)
He prayed at anytime even while talking to others for he was confident God was with him and heard him.
"Life Application Bible" summarizes the occasions he prayed.


<
1) Occasion:
He Prayed after receiving the bad news about states of Jerusalem's wall.
Nehemiah 1:4-11
2) Occasion:
Prayed during a conversation with the King.
Nehemiah 2:4
3)Occasions:
After being taunted and ridiculed by Tobiah and Sanballat.
Nehemiah 4:4-5
4)Occasions:
After threats of attack by enemies.
Nehemiah 4:9
5)Occasions:
Responding to threats.
Nehemiah 6:9
6) Occasions:
Reflection of the action of his enemies.
Nehemiah 13:29,
<<
If we want God to hear us anytime, anyplace, we need to build up a strong relationship with HIM by spending quality time in His presence, talking to Him, listening to Him, reading and meditating on His Word.
We need to watch and pray about every situation we face.
Let's learn to pour out our hearts to Jesus, grieve about the conditions in the lives of people, our families, workplace, cities and Nation.
God will move on our behalf when we pray.
So, let's pray......
Be Blessed,
YSIC,
Julia
