THOUGHTS FROM THE PASTOR
THE FIREPLACE
Leviticus 6:13 (NKJV) “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.”
God repeated the above sentence three times within four verses (vs. 9, 12 and 13) to lay emphasis that this is very important. How is your altar of prayer? Is your fire still on? Is prayer, a dull religious routine that you must do? Do you sleep off when you try to pray? Do you have no excitement to pray alone? Is prayer neglected in your life completely? Do you try to pray but you run out of words within five minutes? We will be launching the 24/7 prayer room and it will be called THE FIREPLACE. Jesus demonstrated the importance of prayer and his disciples saw it clearly in His life. They saw the importance of prayer in the life and ministry of Jesus. They saw how he always goes out to pray and returns with fire. It was like a fireplace and they wanted that. Have you ever wondered why the disciples didn’t ask Jesus how to walk on water, how to turn water into wine, how to multiply food, how to raise the dead, or how to do any of His other miracles? Instead they asked Jesus to teach them about prayer. The scripture said in Luke 11:1 “Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”” The disciples clearly saw the inseparable relationship between the power Jesus manifested and the hours He spent in prayers. They wanted to pray like Jesus. I pray that you will build your altar of prayer and keep the fire burning constantly. It is expedient that we keep the fire burning in this our year to do exploit. Ask God to revive your prayer life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
“There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.”
Acts 4:34-35 ESV
We have some needs within the house and we believe that God can use you to meet these needs. Some of our students are in need of food and need some assistance and support.
On 4th of March, we will be having a FOOD PANTRY DRIVE. If God lays it on your heart, please bring in food, non-perishable food items such as rice, pasta, canned vegetables, etc. It will be gathered and distributed accordingly. If you can not bring in FOOD, we will also be taking a second offering on that day to help our students.
