“I and the Father are one.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭30‬ ‭

"When I read Acts 27:23-24 I pictured in great detail the shipwreck at hand, as Paul was taken prisoner to set sail to Rome and to stand trial before Caesar. At the height of despair, Paul confidently stood up and told the others not to be afraid and that they would not lose their life, for an angel of God had appeared to him during the course of the night to tell him this very comforting news. And that’s exactly what happened. They lost all the cargo and they even lost the ship, but each of their lives was preserved.

Like everyone else, Paul was probably alarmed by the storm. But he had faith in God and he continued to pray, though it is not recorded anywhere in Acts 27 that Paul was praying hard, nor does Paul admit this to the rest of the ship crew. In fact, God’s answer to Paul was in response to Paul’s intercessions and call for help. And we know it was an answer to intercession because, in order for us to be “granted” something, it requires that we ask for it. Because of Paul’s acts of prayer and faith, God granted his requests and gave the lives of the others into his hands.

Sometimes, when we face various storms in our day-to-day, it seems easier just to cut the lifeboat and abandon ship. Just give it all up—especially when no solution seems to offer itself to us any time soon. But the prayer of one God-fearing man and his love for others made such a big difference. We can be that praying hand—the one whose prayer can save ourselves and save lives."

Questions for reflection:
What has the Lord given over to you because of your praying spirit, and how did it strengthen your trust and reliance in Him?

One day I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah, the beauty of God’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. And I sat there, the Lord brought His presence to me.

He asked me, “Do you love me?” I answered, “Of course God! You are my Lord and my Savior." Then He asked, “If you were physically handicapped, would you still love Me?” I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms and legs and the rest of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn't be able to do; the things that I took for granted. And I answered, “It would be hard Lord, but I would still love You.”

“If you were blind, would you still love My creation?”

“If you were deaf, would you still listen to My word?”

“If you were mute, would you still praise My name?”

And the Lord further asked, “Do you really love Me?” With courage and strong conviction, I answered boldly, “Yes Lord! I love You because You are the one and true God.” I thought I had answered well but God asked, “Why then do you sin?”

SERMON

Fruitless and Fruitful Prayers

We all want our prayers to be heard. But what makes a prayer effective? How can we make our every prayer count? This sermon explores two prayers with very different outcomes and explains why God answers certain prayers while ignoring others.

“Faith is an assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Heb 11:1). Faith is complete trust in God in all that he has promised in the Bible. When Abraham was in despair, through faith he obtained hope. At nearly a hundred years old, God promised him a son. His wife, Sarah, was barren. But his strong faith enabled him to look forward to God’s promise. Never was he doubtful in his heart; on the contrary he gave glory to God and was confident of the fulfilment of the promise.

Judging things by sight is unreliable as it depends on our limited wisdom and experience. For example, when Philip told Nathanael, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” He immediately replied and said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Next, when Jesus wanted to test the faith of Philip, He said to Philip, “How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” To this Philip replied, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little” (Jn 1:45-46, 6:5-7).

Faith enables man to see the might of God. He who has faith will, in all matters, remain strong and joyful. Thus strength will not fail him, wealth will not corrupt him and poverty will not weaken him. Bearing the cross, he will follow Christ faithfully. Those who depend on themselves will have much worries and sorrows.
