Galatians 6: 10 ‘As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.’

DAILY READING; Matthew 26:47-75; Deuteronomy 3-4; Job 5

Charles Parham was Founder of the Apostolic Faith Movement and a pioneer of Pentecostalism in America.
He began serving God early in life and by the age of 15 years he was already holding evangelistic services.
After he got married on December 31, 1896, his wife joined him in the ministry and the young couple started traveling to different towns to preach the Gospel.
September of 1897 saw the birth of their first son, but their joy was short-lived when the baby fell ill with heart disease. No amount of medicine seemed to work as he grew weaker. Doctors couldn’t diagnose the baby’s sickness, there seemed to be no cure for it and it appeared the baby was going to die. To worsen matters Charles Parham himself also fell sick.
During this period, Parham was called to pray for another man who was ill. So in his own weakened state, he left for the man’s home. While he was praying for the man, the Scripture, “Physician, heal thyself,” exploded inside of Parham. At that moment the power of God came upon Parham and he became healed instantly.
From the man’s home, Parham eagerly rushed back to his own home and prayed for his sick baby. The fever also left the baby’s body, and he became healed.
These miracles proved to Parham God’s faithfulness in keeping him healthy as long as he was committed to ministering to the people. Charles Parham indeed served God unrelentingly and his ministry contributed to over two million conversions, and thousands of healings.

When Charles Parham ignored his own condition to pray for another person, God released upon him divine healing. When we serve God by being a blessing to others, God ensures we become partakers of the blessings. Indeed what you make happen for others God will make happen for you.
While Job was facing great difficulties, he looked away from his situation and prayed for his friends. The result was that his own prayers were answered; his captivity was turned and his health was restored.
It is God’s will that we bear each other’s burden by looking beyond our own needs to be a blessing to others.
There are people we know who are suffering all manner of sickness, troubles, etc. Taking few minutes to sow the seed of prayer in their lives can make all the difference for them.
There are unbelievers around us who are on their way to hell. We can make a huge difference in their eternal destiny by preaching to them and praying for their salvation. God uses our prayers to work miracles and send angels on assignment. .
When Peter was in prison, it was the ceaseless prayer of the saints that activated the angelic activity that brought him out. As we pray for others, chains that are holding them bound begins to fall off; bondages of fear, depression, addiction etc begins to depart from their lives.
Let it therefore, be our mission to stand in the gap for others. Though people may not know you are praying for them and you may not receive credit, but you can be assured that God who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Like Job, as you pray for others, you’re going to see every captivity turned, your healing will come and your prayers will be answered.
Therefore today, by the Blood of Jesus, let us receive the grace for sowing good seeds into the lives of others. By the Blood of Jesus may every selfishness and self-centeredness be destroyed in us. And as we sow good seeds, surely we shall reap a harvest of manifold blessings in return in Jesus Name.

PRAYER;
Father, by the Blood of Jesus, I receive the grace today to begin sowing good seeds into the lives of people around me. As I do, I thank You Lord for causing me to reap an amazing harvest of blessings in Jesus Name.
