GE: February Prayer Meeting Message Summary: by Varghese and family

GE: February Prayer Meeting Message Summary: by Varghese and family


We remember the following 5 points from your message at the last prayer meeting.
Your message was about the Great Lent and the following points were discussed:

1. Time for preparation and self examination
   Bible verse - 2 Corinthians (Chapter 13 - verse 5 & 6).
   - Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test
yourselves. Do   you not know yourself, that Jesus Christ is in you? -
unless indeed you are disqualified.
   - But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

- You mentioned about "Pride" being the oldest sin in the world. We
discussed how pride and self praise affect us and our relationship
with others.
 Bible verse - Galatians 6 - verse 3
- For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he
deceives himself.

2. Time for discipline
   - Give something regularly.
   - have more time for others.
   - invest more in spiritual life.
   - use sundays exclusively for worship.

3. Use the lenten period for special prayers.

4. It is a time for spiritual renewal and growth.

5. Share with others our hope found in the relationship with Christ.


Warm Regards,

Varghese & family
