TEXT:
Acts 13:1-3
1.
In the church at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers. They were
Barnabas, Simeon (also called Niger), Lucius (from the city of Cyrene), Manaen
(who had grown up with King Herod_), and Saul.
2.
These men were all serving the Lord and fasting when the Holy Spirit said to
them, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to do a special work for me. They are the ones
I have chosen to do it.”
3.
So the church fasted and prayed. They laid their hands on Barnabas and Saul and
sent them out.

TOPIC:
GOD SPEAKS WHEN WE PRAY
When
brethren who are of the same mind and spirit pray, God will definitely respond
to their request. Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen and Saul were prophets and
teachers of the church. They were worshipping the Lord and fasting.
No
form of discrimination was said to have existed among them. In fact, they were
of the same mind. No wonder, the Holy Spirit visited them and told them to
separate unto Him Paul and Barnabas for the work He had called them to do.
The
Church must do away with unprofitable rituals, begin to worship God in spirit
and in truth and take time to go before Him in prayer and fasting in order to
have divine direction and intervention.
QUESTION: Does
your church have time to worship the Lord, fast and pray in order to seek His
will?
PRAYER:
Help Your Church, Oh Lord, to fully worship You and not to take prayer and
fasting lightly.
Remain
Blessed
