Meditations

1 Thess. 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Rejoice always, how do we do that?

Things to be Followed: *Confession of sins before water baptism (1:5). *Baptism in the Holy Spirit (1:8). *Pray and be alone (1:35; 6:46; 9:2) *Casting out demons (1:26, 27, 34, 39; 3:14, 15; 6:7, 13 )

O that God would give us a pure heart! Yes, a pure heart. The ultimate cry of a true believers’ heart is a pure soul. The ability to truly rejoice with the success of our friends and seek them greater good.

Lately, how is your devotion to Christ? Are you craving for attention? Are you seeking the approval of men rather than of God? Have you seen your own bitterness and incompetency of running your life on your own? You know your heart! You desire something but you do not get it.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. (John 3:36).

13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

Here are just 3 Quick Reasons we must CONTINUE TO pray:

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
