in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

This is a report of the @Steemchurch Biblical Study #sc-biblicalstudy which took place earlier today at the STEEEMCHURCH DISCORD ROOM.

With @Sirknight's approval, the First Official Bible Study of the @Steemchurch held today, 8th August, 2018 by 14:00 Venezuela Time (being 19:00 Nigerian Time).

@marcelo182 earlier in this post called all parishioners to join the Biblical Studies which held at the STEEEMCHURCH DISCORD ROOM.

Discussion

The discourse took its bearing from Luke 11 where Jesus Christ taught His disciples how to pray:

Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. (Emphasis by me)

We see from the above passage, Luke's emphasis on the place ("certain place") and the attitude ("how to") of prayer. It is a timely message as many people do not know how to pray. Some just make vain noise and others waste valuable time in the guise of prayer because they lack the knowledge of the attitude for prayers. Some others have also lost valuables, some are being cajoled by false teachers who idolize a location and do unspeakable things in the guise of praying.

It was a wonderful privilege to brace up ourselves in God's words as we brainstormed. Here are the summary of the lessons learnt.

  • Prayer is a means by which a man communicates with God.
  • Communication entails talking to God in line with His terms - faith, humility, holiness, reverence (Psalm 51: 17)- and having God talk back to us.
  • Communication occurs where there is a relationship. Thus a man who prays must have a relationship with God (John 14: 13-14).
  • The depth of communication is dependent on the intimacy of the relationship (Genesis 18: 17).
  • Praying requires a quiet place. The quietness here does not really imply a quiet environment physically, rather, a quiet spirit that is focused on God and devoid of any form of distraction or worry (Phil. 4: 6).
  • We can pray anywhere so far our relationship with God is good and our focus is on Him.

at any time, wherever we are: at work, in the kitchen, at school, playing, writing, here in this biblical study. We can always raise the heart and talk to Who inhabits it. In this way, although the Eucharist is indeed the appropriate place to pray and I highly recommend it, it will not be absolutely necessary or necessary to have to go to a church to pray. - @marcelo182

In conclusion, we should all pray every day, to maintain a good communication with God. We have to be conscious men of prayer. And for us there is no greater motivation than his example; the example of Jesus Christ.
