b)  Judges 6:36. Gideon's question to God. 
c)  Luke 1:18. Zacharias' question to the Angel.
d)  Isaiah 7:11. Ask God for a sign. 
(This QT assures me that if it is necessary, we can ask God: How Will I Know?)
----------
'This Is The Lord.'
Exodus 34:6. 
a)  He is the Lord. 
b)  He is:-
1-Compassionate. 
2-Gracious. 
3-Slow to Anger. 
4-Abundant in Loving-kindness. 
5-Abundant in Faithfulness. 
6-Abundant in Truth. 
(Through this Second one I understand that This Is The Lord)
----------
Chris. 
It is very wonderful that, God, in His Word, reveals Himself, He teaches us there that He Is The Lord! This is the most important part of God and His Character that we need to learn. There are many other aspects of God's Character that we need to study and learn about, but here is the most important ... He is the Lord! We then need to apply all that this means to our lives. 

A Hard Time Waiting For God!

'A Hard Time Waiting For God.'
Psalm 69:3. 
a)  I am weary with my crying. 
b)  My throat is parched. 
c)  My eyes grow dim. 
d)  With waiting for my God. 
(This QT teaches me that it is possible to have A Hard Time Waiting For God)
PRAYER: For Patience and Strength when we are Waiting For God.
---------
'That You May Know.'
Matthew 9:6. 
a)  That the Son of Man,
b)  Has Power on Earth
c)  To forgive sins -
d)  Jesus then said to the paralytic - 
1-Rise.
2-Take up your bed. 
3-Go home. 
(This Second one is written That We May Know the Power of Jesus to forgive sins and to heal)
PRAYER: For confidence in our Prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ.
---------
Chris.
Sometimes we have a difficult time in Prayer whilst waiting for God, this does not mean that God does not hear our Prayers, it means that He has the Perfect Time for His Answer to our Prayers. Most of us, even from the Old Testament days it is recorded, have difficult times at time in our Prayer life, the lesson that we learn from the Bible is that we do not give up!

No Room In The Living Quarters!

'No Room In The Living Quarters.'
Luke 2:7. 
a)  Mary gave birth to her first-born Son.
b)  She wrapped Him in cloth.
c)  She laid Him down in a feeding trough. 
d)  Because there was no place for them in the living quarters.
(This QT reveals to me the rejection of Christ, right from the beginning of His time on Earth - No Room In The Living Quarters)
PRAYER: For healing of all the 'rejection' in our heart, it is possible because Christ was rejected for us, right from the start of His Life on Earth.
--------
Only One Mediator.'
1 Timothy 2:5. 
a)  There is one God. 
b)  There is one Mediator between God and man.
c)  He is the Man Christ Jesus.
(This Second one teaches me that there is Only One Mediator between human-kind and God, He is Christ Jesus Himself)
PRAYER: For our relationship with God to be resolved, if necessary, through our Mediator, Christ Jesus.
--------
Chris.
Jesus Christ suffered rejection for us, that we can be restored from all rejection's pain and the dysfunctional behaviour that it produces. True Believers should not live with rejection-rooted behaviour in their lives because Jesus Christ suffered rejection for us. 

I Have Done - Now You Do!

'I Have Done - Now You Do.'
Genesis 15:7. 
a)  The Lord said to Abram:
b)  "I Am Jehovah Who brought thee out of the land of Ur of the Chaldees.
c)  To give thee this land. 
d)  To possess it. 
e)  To inherit it. 
(This QT teaches me a part of God's Way: I Have Done - Now You Do)
PRAYER: For strength to do the Will of God.
-------
'Jesus Christ Prayed For Our Unity.'
John 17:21. 
a)  Our Unity at His Return. 
b)  The only way for there to be unity among True Believers:
c)  All of us first to find unity with God in Jesus Christ - are we united with God?
d)  Then the World can Believe that God the Father has sent His Son to Save us. 
(Through this Second one I rejoice that Jesus Christ Prayed For Our Unity)
PRAYER: For unity in our Church and among True Believers in our locality.
-------
Chris.
Inheritance is an important word. God gave the land for His People to inherit. If that land was to fulfill its purpose then God's People had to take the land and live in it. The land would be useless if the people did not do something about it. There are times when we need to do something if we are to enjoy the inheritance that God has given to us. Do what? That is between the individual Believer and God. 

Christ The Creator!

'Christ The Creator.'
Colossians 1:16. 
a)  For by Him. 
b)  All things were created:
1-In Heaven.
2-On Earth. 
3-Visible. 
4-Invisible. 
5-Thrones.
6-Dominions.
7-Rulers. 
8-Authorities. 
c)  They were created through Him and for Him. (1 Corinthians 8:6)
(This QT reminds me of Christ The Creator)
PRAY: For a personal understanding of Christ the Creator.
------
'Christ Has All Authority.'
Matthew 28:18. 
a)  All Authority.
b)  In Heaven.
c)  On Earth. 
d)  Has been given to Him.
(Through this Second one I believe that Christ Has All Authority)
PRAY: Thanking God that Christ Has All Authority and Pray with Faith in the Authority of His Name.
------
Chris.
I need to remember that By Christ the Creator all things were created. It is easy to take things and life for granted and forget the reality of Christ the Creator. We can have confidence because the Bible assures us that Christ is the Creator of all things in every realm. 

Was This A Deliberate Plan?

'Was This A Deliberate Plan?'
Luke 2:6.
a)  It was while they were in Nazareth.
b)  With all of its discomforts.
c)  The time came,
d)  For Mary to give birth. 
(This QT prompts me to ask the question: Was This A Deliberate Plan? Not just a 'prophetic' convenience that 'just happened'?)
PRAYER: For all those families, in family or Church, with a pregnancy, to give birth in the Will of God in every part of the circumstance and event.
-----
'The Voice From The Cloud.'
Matthew 17:5. 
a)  It was very unusual - it was a bright cloud. 
b)  It appeared while Peter was speaking. 
c)  This cloud overshadowed Jesus, Peter, James and John who were together alone on a high mountain.
d)  A Voice (Father God's Voice) spoke from the cloud:
1-This is My Beloved Son.
2-With Whom I am well pleased.
3-Listen to Him.
(God spoke in A Voice From A Cloud)
PRAYER: That we will not "miss" God speaking to us, in whichever way that He may choose.
-----
Chris.
The place of very temporary lodging for Joseph and Mary (then eventually Jesus also) was a place of discomfort, a very ordinary facility made for feeding the animals that normally were kept there. Some of us may rarely have to temporarily stay in an uncomfortable place that is not our "home". If we do, we should not complain, rather ask God what His Plan is in us being there!

Abram Believed The Lord!

'Abram Believed The Lord.'
Genesis 15:3-6. 
a)  Genesis 15:3. Abram had a big cultural and natural struggle.
b)  Genesis 15:3. He had no children, so one of his servants would be his heir.
c)  Genesis 15:4. Then the Lord said to Abram:
1-No.
2-Your servant will not be your heir.
3-You will have a son of your own who will be your heir. 
d)  Genesis 15:5. Then the Lord took Abram outside.
e)  Genesis 15:5. The Lord said to Abram:
1-Look up into the sky. 
2-Count the stars if you can. 
3-That is how many descendants you will have. 
f)  Genesis 15:6. Then Abram believed the Lord. 
g)  Genesis 15:6. The Lord counted Abram as Righteous because of his Faith.
(This QT encourages my faith: Abram Believed The Lord)
PRAY: For Faith to Believe the Lord's Promises. 
-----------
'The Father Loves And Is Well Pleased With His Son.'
Matthew 3:17. 
a)  A Voice from Heaven spoke. (It was the Voice of the Father)
b)  "This is My Son,
c)  "Whom I love;
d)  "With Him I am well pleased!
e)  "He brings Me great Joy."
(This Second one teaches me that: The Father Loves And Is Well Pleased With His Son)
PRAY: For clear understanding of, and to have Faith in, the Triune God: Father, Son (Jesus Christ our Lord), and the Holy Spirit.
-----------
Chris.
There are times in our life when God simply says: "No!" He said it to Abram when Abram was struggling with his situation and could not Believe the Promises of God. (I think that we all face such times.) God intervened, He took Abram outside of his tent to show him the reality of the Promise that He was giving to Him. When Abram took that step of obedience and simply did what God asked him to do, then Abram was able to believe the Lord. 

Our Powerful And Wise God!

'Our Powerful And Wise God.'
Jeremiah 10:12. 
a)  It is He Who made the Earth by His Power. 
b)  It is He Who established the World by His Wisdom.
c)  By His understanding He stretched out the Heavens.
(This QT reminds me of Our Powerful And Wise God)
PRAY: Worshipping Our Powerful And Wise God.
----------
'A Humble And Sent Missionary.'
John 3:28. 
a)  The people bore witness to him. 
b)  He said that he was not the Christ. 
c)  He was simply sent before Him. 
(This Second one reveals to me A Humble And Sent Missionary - John the Baptist)
PRAY: That all sent missionaries, especially those from your Church, or your Nation, shall be humble before God.
----------
Chris.
Worship is really an important part of every True Believer's life. "Worship" can be the title given to our main Sunday Service: Sunday Worship. It can also be given to the part of the Service, on any day, at any time, when the assembled Church, turn their hearts to glorify God with words, music and song. A person who loves God will surely want to Worship Him. Worship can also be private, our own time of Love expressed to God in some way. 

To Where Do We Belong?

'To Where Do We Belong?'
Luke 2:4-5.
a)  Joseph took his wife Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem, which was David's City, for census registration. 
b)  Joseph was of the House and family of David.
c)  Mary was heavily pregnant. 
d)  The distance is 107km. This must have been a very uncomfortable and difficult journey. 
e)  The reason that they took that journey was threefold:
1-Joseph was a diligent citizen.
2-For the sake of natural lineage. 
3-It was the Will of God. 
f)  Joseph belonged to Bethlehem, it was his home town.
g)  The painful reality: Even though Joseph belonged to Bethlehem, there was no place available for his family there. 
(This QT, To Where Do We Belong?, teaches me that there is a big difference between "home town" and "home")
PRAY: For our present home to be filled with God's Presence and Peace.
-----
'Believe In Christ Jesus.'
Acts 10:43. 
a)  All the Prophets bear witness,
b)  That everyone who Believes in Him,
c)  Receives forgiveness of sins,
d)  Through His Name. 
(This Second one reminds me of the simple Gospel Message: Believe In Christ Jesus)
PRAY: For our unsaved family members and friends to Believe In Christ Jesus.
-----
Chris. 
Joseph was a diligent father! He is a fine example to us of commitment. He wanted to go back and visit his hometown for the birth of his son. Joseph wanted to be a good 'Bethlehemite' and he took his wife on a difficult journey so that this lineage of 'Bethlehemites' be maintained. It is evident from Scripture that Joseph did not want to live and settle there in Bethlehem, he only wanted Mary to give Birth there. 

They Had To Go!

'They Had To Go.'
a)  Genesis 31:17-18. Jacob, back to his father. 
b)  Luke 2:4. Joseph, to pay his taxes.
c)  Ruth 3:3. Ruth, to meet her husband to be. 
d)  1 Samuel 13:20. The Israelites, down amongst the Philistines. 
e)  2 Kings 8:1. The woman and her family, because a famine was coming.
f)  2 Kings 23:9. The sinful priests, out of the Lord's Service. 
g)  Esther 2:15. Esther, to go in to the king. 
h)  Ezekiel 3:14. Ezekiel, as a prophet.
i)  Mark 5:19; Luke 8:38. Back to his own people, to tell them of the Mercy of the Lord. 
j)  John 13:1. Jesus, back to the Father. 
k)  Acts 11:12. Peter, with the men who called for him. 
(This QT tells me that They Had To Go)
PRAY: That we would always be sensitive to the Lord's Leading in our life.
--------
'Do Not Miss Him.'
John 5:39. 
a)  Acts 17:11. They searched the Scriptures.
b)  Because they thought that, by doing so, they would find Eternal Life. 
c)  But the Scriptures simply testify about Christ. 
d)  It is in Christ that we have Eternal Life.  
(This Second One is a clear warning to all who love the Bible: Do Not Miss Him)
PRAY: That our friends and family members do not 'miss' the Lord because of their simply 'being religious'.
--------
Chris.
We cannot always understand the ways of the Lord, Jacob was led back to his father, Esther was led into the king's presence, and Jesus had to go back to His Father via the Cross after a short time of life on this Earth, He was in His early thirties! I cannot define the workings of the Lord and His Leading in our lives but I can always say that I need to trust Him. 

God And People!

'God And People.'
Psalm 104:28-30. 
a)  Psalm 104:28. What You give them, they gather in.
b)  Psalm 104:28. You open Your Hand and they are filled with good. 
c)  Psalm 104:29. You hide Your Face and they are troubled. 
d)  Psalm 104:29. You take away their breath and they die and return to their dust.
e)  Psalm 104:30. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
f)  Psalm 104:30. You renew the Face of the Earth.
(This QT gives me a glimpse of Creator God: God And People)
PRAY: Giving Thanks to God for the Life and for the Holy Spirit that He gives to us.
-------
'He Is There Now.'
Luke 22:69.
a)  From now on,
b)  The Son of Man will be seated
c)  In the Place of Power
d)  At God's Right Hand.
(Through this Second one I know that He Is There Now)
PRAY: Worshipping God because The Son of Man Is There Now.
-------
Chris.
Without God we would not be here, whatever our "belief" or lack of "belief", this is a very clear fact. God supplies all things for all peoples, whether they acknowledge Him or not. Even more amazing is the fact that God is the Creator of all things in Heaven and on Earth. If we shared, internationally, with other peoples, some of what our Nations have materially and physically, they would be healthier and happier. We, also would be Blessed by God. 

Abram's Doubting Response to The Word Of The Lord!

'Abram's Doubting Response To The Word Of The Lord.'
Genesis 15:1-2.
a)  The Word of the Lord came to Abram in a Vision.
b)  The Lord said:
1-Do not be afraid Abram.
2-I am your Sovereign Shield. 
3-I am your Exceedingly Great Reward.
c)  Abram responded pitifully:
1-Sovereign Lord God:
2-"What can You give me
3-"Since I remain childless
4-"And the one who will inherit my estate
5-"Is Eliezer of Damascus?"
(This QT shows me Abram's Doubting Response To The Word Of The Lord)
PRAYER: That we will always respond with Faith when we receive the Word of the Lord.
------
'Accused Falsely.'
Luke 23:1-2. 
a)  The multitude of the people
b)  They led Jesus off to Pilate.
c)  And they began to accuse Him saying:
1-"We have found this man subverting our Nation.
2-"He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar,
3-"Saying that He, Himself, is Christ, a King."
(Through this Second one I understand the possibility of every True Believer being Accused Falsely at times)
PRAYER: That before any other response we will come to God when we are Accused Falsely.
------
Chris.
Abram's thinking was consumed by the thought, and his prayer with the response to the thought, that he remained childless. We know, from the Scripture that God gave him a family that was huge, the generations spreading all over the Earth. God was greater than Abram's doubting! "What can you give me, since I remain childless?" was the cry of Abram's prayer, it was a doubting and unbelieving response. Yet, despite the doubt of Abram, God intervened, He gave Abram a huge family that has spread all over the World until now

The Best Census System!

'The Best Census System.'
Luke 2:3. 
a)  Everyone.
b)  Went to their own town.
c)  To register. 
d)  In the books of the Nation. 
(This QT teaches me The Best Census System)
PRAY: For Government systems in the Nation where you live.
----
'Evil Violence.'
a)  Matthew 26:68; 27:30. They hit Jesus Christ. 
b)  Exodus 21:12; Numbers 35:21. They hit a man and kill him. 
c)  Exodus 21:15. Hitting parents. 
d)  Exodus 21:18. Hits another person and injures them. 
e)  Exodus 21:19. The one who hits needs to take care of the person he hits.
f)  Exodus 21:22. Do not hit a pregnant woman. 
g)  Exodus 21:26. Do not hit a servant in the eye. 
h)  Numbers 22:28-32. Unnecessary violence toward animals. 
i)  Deuteronomy 27:24. Hitting a neighbour in secret. 
j)  1 Samuel 19:10. Hitting the wall with a spear, in anger. 
k)  2 Samuel 3:27. In revenge. 
l)  1 Kings 22:24. Hitting the true Servant of the Lord. 
m)  Job 16:10. Men hit Job on the face in anger. 
n)  Proverbs 23:35. They hit me but I was not hurt.
o)  Isaiah 50:6. Jesus Christ gave His Back to those who hit Him. 
p)  Matthew 5:39. True Believers may sometimes be hit by people persecuting them.
q)  Acts 16:23. They hit Paul and Silas many times. 
r)  Acts 23:2-3. They hit Apostle Paul.
(This Second one makes me to Pray for the people who suffer from Evil Violence)
PRAY: For those who suffer because of Evil Violence.
----
Chris.
They hit Jesus Christ, this was a part of His Suffering before eventually being taken to be crucified. It means that His Body was already very painful when He carried His Cross to Calvary. The pain that He went through in the whole evil process must have been excruciating! Jesus is able, by His Holy Spirit, to Comfort and Succor those people who have experienced, or are still experiencing, evil violence. 

It's All In Him!

'It's All In Him.'
Colossians 1:16-17.
a)  By Him (Jesus Christ) were all things created:
1-In Heaven.
2-On Earth. 
3-Visible.
4-Invisible.
5-Thrones.
6-Dominions.
7-Rulers.
8-Authorities. 
b)  All things were created through Him and for Him.
c)  He Himself is before all things. 
d)  In Him all things hold together. 
(This QT reminds me that It's All In Him)
PRAYER: To have the revelation and understanding that It's All In Him.
---
'A Very Clear Statement.'
Isaiah 61:1. 
a)  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me. 
b)  Because the Lord has Anointed Me. 
c)  To bring Good News to the poor and oppressed people. 
d)  To bind up the broken-hearted. 
e)  To proclaim liberty to the captives. 
f)  To proclaim the opening of the prison to them that are bound. 
(This Second one is A Very Clear Statement)
PRAYER: For the Church, the Body of Christ, to live out this very clear statement of Jesus Christ. 
---
Chris.
The Scripture exhorts us to pray for our National Rulers. This is important, whatever our political opinions may be, the call to pray for our National Rulers is a greater calling than our political opinions. The Scripture also gives a call to the Church to bring down spiritual rulers through Prayer, so that we can live under the rulership of God's Kingdom.

Abraham's Pure Motivation!

'Abraham's Pure Motivation.'
Genesis 14:17-24. 
a)  Genesis 14:17. Abraham returned from destroying Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him. 
b)  Genesis 14:17. The King of Sodom went out to meet Abraham at the Valley of Shaveh (the King's Valley). 
c)  Genesis 14:18. Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. 
d)  Genesis 14:18. Melchizedek was Priest of God Most High. 
e)  Genesis 14:19-20. Melchizedek Blessed Abraham and said:
1-Blessed be Abraham of God Most High,
2-Possessor of Heaven and Earth;
3-And Blessed be God Most High,
4-Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.
f)  Genesis 14:20. Abraham then gave Melchizedek a tithe of all that he had taken in the war.
g)  Genesis 14:21. The King of Sodom told Abraham to give the people to him, but Abraham could keep the riches and food for himself. 
h)  Genesis 14:22-23. But Abraham said to King of Sodom:
1-I have promised the Lord God Most High,
2-Maker of Heaven and Earth,
3-That I will not take a piece of string or a piece of leather, or anything that is yours,
4-Lest you should say: 'I have made Abraham rich'.
i)  Genesis 14:24. The exception: 'What the young men have eaten and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol and Mamre take their portion.
(This QT reveals to me Abraham's Pure Motivation)
PRAYER: For God's Servants today to have pure motivation.
----------
'Anointing The Next Generation.'
1 Kings 19:16. 
a)  Elijah was to anoint the next generation, not just leave them to find their own way. 
b)  He was to anoint Jehu, son of Nimshi, to be king over Israel.
c)  He was to anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to speak for God in his place.
(This Second one Teaches me the importance of Anointing The Next Generation)
PRAYER: For God's Anointed Servants in this generation to pass on the Anointing to the next generation. 
----------
Chris. 
Abraham was a man who really kept his promises to God. This is one of the reasons that Abraham was trusted by God with such great responsibilities. If we make promises to God and do not keep them, there is a simple lesson to learn: it is better not to make promises to God.

The Habit Of Census!

'The Habit Of Census.'
Luke 2:2. 
a)  Was abhorrent to the People of God because He had told them not to do it. 
b)  Probably this was actually a registration that took place before the actual census.
c)  There would be other census to follow because of the Roman Government system.
(This QT reveals The Habit Of Census)
PRAYER: For the functions of the Government where we live.
------------------
'The Exalted Christ.'
Philippians 2:9-10.
a)  God exalted Christ to the Highest Place.
b)  God gave Christ the Name that is above every name. 
c)  At the Name of Jesus every knee should bow:-
1-In Heaven.
2-On Earth. 
3-Under the Earth.
(Through this Second one I desire to honour The Exalted Christ)
PRAYER: That we will honour The Exalted Christ with our lives all day long.
------------------
Chris.
Praying for the functions of the Government where we live is one of the most important Prayers that we can Pray. Just simply expressing opinions about the Government and its successes, faults and failures is not a very wise thing to do. We should not simply criticise, we should Pray for the Government in all its forms, and encourage other True Believers to pray also. It is surely true that Prayer changes things, and in Prayer we are not commanding God, we are seeking Him for His Answers. 
  

The Maker!

'The Maker.
John 1:3. 
a)  All things were made through Him. 
b)  Without Him,
c)  Not one thing
d)  Came into being. 
(This QT reminds me of The Maker Who is my Maker!)
PRAYER: Thank The Maker for making you who you are.

a)  The husband
b)  Is the head of the wife.
c)  As Christ
d)  Is the Head of the Church. 
e)  The Church is the Body,
f)  Of which Christ is the Saviour.
(Through this Second one I think that it is Time For Husbands To Think)
PRAYER: For all the husbands who go to Church, that they will have time to think and Pray comprehensively about their life. 
-----------------
Chris.
It is an amazing thing when we take time to ponder upon Creation - this wonderful and beautiful World that our Lord has given to us. The Bible tells us that all things were made through Him. I have not really seen much of the World, but what I have seen has me in awe of my Maker. 

Abram To The Rescue!

'Abram To The Rescue.'
Genesis 14:13-16. 
a)  Genesis 14:13. Abram was living with his friends in a very nice place. 
b)  Genesis 14:14. When Abram heard that some of his family members were captured, he took action.
c)  Genesis 14:14. Abram led forth his trained men and went in pursuit. 
d)  Genesis 14:15-16. Abram's successful strategy:
1-He divided his forces at night. 
2-His servants were with him.
3-He routed the enemy. 
4-He pursued the enemy to Hobah, North of Damascus. 
5-He brought back:
A-All the goods.
B-Lot and his goods.
C-The women.
D-Some other people. 
(This QT reveals to me Abram To The Rescue)
PRAY: For our churches to be places of Victory and Rescue for the lost and wandering people - especially those people who have left the church for some reason.
----------------
'Christ Is Head Of The Church.'
Ephesians 1:20-23. 
a)  Ephesians 1:20. God raised Christ from the dead.
b)  Ephesians 1:20. God made Christ sit at His Hand in the Heavenly Places. 
c)  Ephesians 1:21. God placed Christ:
Far above all - 
A-Rule.
B-Authority.
C-Power.
D-Every name that is named in this age.
E-Every name that is named in the ages to come. 
d)  Ephesians 1:22. With all things under His Feet. 
e)  Ephesians 1:22. Made Him as Head over all things to the Church.
f)  Ephesians 1:23. The Church is the Body of Christ, which is the Fulness of Him Who fills all in all. 
(This Second one assures me that Christ Is The Head Of The Church)
PRAY: That the Church will truly confess and own Christ as its Head.
----------------
Chris.
People give many reasons or excuses for leaving the Church, many of those reasons and excuses are truly understandable. I am not going to make a list of those things here. Rather than just criticising those people who leave, we should be considering the functions of the Church towards: its Lord, its members, those people who have left for negative reasons and the multi-ethnic unevangelised. 

The Emperor!

'The Emperor.'
a)  Luke 2:1. Augustus decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 
b)  Luke 3:1. Tiberius was the Emperor, also having influence over many Nations. 
c)  Acts 25:21; 25:25-27. Apostle Paul appealed for his case to be heard by the Emperor.
d)  Acts 11:28. Claudius was Emperor when a great famine was predicted throughout the whole world. 
(Through this QT I understand the great power and influence of The Emperor)
PRAY: For the National Leaders of wherever you live.

Revelation 19:11-16. 
a)  Revelation 19:11. Heaven was opened, "Faithful and True" was sat upon a white horse.

c)  Revelation 19:12. His:-
a)  Eyes were like flames of fire.

"We Honour, Praise, Worship and live for The King of Kings and Lord of Lords." This should be the Testimony of every True Church and every True Believer! Church is not primarily for social life, although a Biblical Church should include that, Church primarily is a Living Testimony to the district where it is planted. When the Church pleases the Lord it will be like a human magnet, attracting those people who live nearby to attend and come to Him.

Prayer for the Churches in the various districts where we may live is an effective and a positive thing to do. However big or small the Church may be in congregation size does not matter much. The important thing is that the Church is pleasing to the Lord. When the Church is pleasing to the Lord we can see His Hand working positively in various ways within it.

Where we live is something that is important. It is something that we should pray about, even the location of our dwelling place in the area where we live. This especially if we are moving our location in some way, whether it be far or near. There should be a sense of the Lord's leading if we are True Believers, some assurance that we are moving in God's Plan and Way.
