Bible study session focusing on Genesis chapter 38, verses 1
Verse 1: Judah leaving his brethren to go to an Adullamite named Hirah
Interpretation:
This act is seen as an “ungodly alliance” or “being friends with the world.”
Biblical Principle: “bad company corrupts good morals.”
Contrast: The difference between “brethren” (sharing the same God, kin, family, and values) and an “Adulamite” (someone outside of that shared identity), suggesting a potentially negative influence.
Power of A day *SE
Praise the Lord. So today I was listening to Pastor Rohi .B.
And it was about the power of a day. When the Lord our God was creating the universe, the Bible says in Genesis 1 that on the first day He created this, on the second day, and then the Bible says, and that was the third day, and that was the fourth day, like He created in days.
I feel it is very important to notice the power of a day because as the Bible says that one day in the house of the Lord is better than a thousand elsewhere. It’s a day, you see? And then the Bible also tells us, teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom in the numbering of the days is the applying of our hearts unto this wisdom.
So as I was listening to this sermon, I share my reflections or even after what I thought and how it touched me. Let me start with this story, there is a time I used to pray I think one hour in the night.
About this time, I was on a program, the ministers said, he was a prophetic one, so the person called me and said, you wake up at night and pray and God likes that. Hallelujah. I thank God for the grace!
So somehow along the way I felt like I should do two hours. I felt like I should do three hours in the night. I felt like I was oversleeping. I should give more time to God. You know those desires….. but man, two hours became two hours.
Three hours really a strain. I remember there’s a time I used to get out of the house at around three in the night and make sure the door is locked. I would tell those inside to lock the door and expect me to knock at six.
Because I wanted to spend time in prayer. And I knew when I was outside of the house and walking about, I would not sleep. So I tried that. And then there was a time I tried going to the garage. I tried, like, I’ve learned that you can even turn to excuses in the form if I I do this I will be able to pray; there was a time I was changing lights, making them more brighter in my room. And I felt like that would help me pray.
I think the list is endless on how I have tried to see how to pray. There’s also a time as moving from my bedroom to my sitting room, the issue was just praying and not one hour. I wanted to do more hours. As I was listening to this sermon, amazed because the man of God shared that if you had a boyfriend, maybe and you’re not together, would you
appreciate a call once in a week or once in a month and where you talked for 12 hours Or would you appreciate 10 minutes a day?
For me it made sense. I would rather take the 10 minutes every day. I would actually be looking forward to those 10 minutes.
What’s my take away?
#Be faithful in the little; do your one hour and be faithful with it.
#Be consistent
