Prayer as Part of a New Believer’s Life
The new life that begins at salvation is sustained through prayer. If God’s Word is our spiritual food, then prayer is our spiritual water. Just as our bodies need both food and water to live, the Christian life cannot thrive without prayer.
What Is Prayer?
Prayer is communication with God—not only speaking to Him but also listening to Him. It’s not just a routine or a string of empty words. It is a living relationship between us and our Heavenly Father.
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
— Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”
— Psalm 145:18
When Should We Pray?
Scripture places no limit on when we can or should pray. On the contrary, we are encouraged to pray continually.
“Pray without ceasing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
— Ephesians 6:18
Prayer is meant to be a constant, ongoing part of our daily walk with God.
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”
— Psalm 5:3
Blessings of Prayer for the Believer
1. We overcome temptation
“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
— Matthew 26:41No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:13
2. We are filled with the Holy Spirit
“When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened…”— Luke 3:21
Prayer invites the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, empowering us to live a godly life.
3. We experience breakthrough in our problems
“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
— Matthew 17:20–21“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
— James 5:16
4. Our needs are met
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
— Philippians 4:6“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:19
Types of Prayer
There are many forms of prayer—thanksgiving, confession, intercession, petition, worship, and more. Each has its place in a healthy spiritual life.

The Right Way to Read the Word of God (the Bible)
As we’ve already seen, reading the Word of God increases the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. The Bible is the primary nourishment for our souls — just as the body cannot survive without food, the spiritual life cannot thrive apart from God’s Word.
Matthew 4:4 (ESV)
It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
This truth reminds us that our survival and growth as believers depend on the Word. The Scriptures are the means by which we are fed, strengthened, and equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
Reading the Bible:
➡ Nurtures spiritual growth
“Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation.” (1 Peter 2:2, ESV)
➡ Renews and transforms our minds
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2, ESV)
➡ Provides guidance, encouragement, and correction
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105, ESV)
➡ Reveals the will and purposes of God for our lives
“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4, ESV)
This is why no believer can separate their life of salvation from a life devoted to the Word of God.
Two Key Approaches to Reading Scripture
When you set out to read the Bible, it helps to understand two essential approaches:
1️⃣ Reading to know the whole Bible
This is foundational. To understand the context and message of any single passage, you need a broad grasp of the entire story of Scripture — the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan from Genesis to Revelation.
If you read 6–7 chapters daily, you can read through the whole Bible in about six months. But don’t stop there. Continue reading it again and again, for the Word never runs out of depth.
➡ “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” (Revelation 1:3, ESV)
2️⃣ Reading by context or theme
This involves studying specific books, chapters, or topics in greater depth. It often requires guidance from teachers or mature believers (see Acts 8:30–31) and careful reflection, allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate the text.
➡ “The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26, ESV)
How to Begin Reading Your Bible
✅ Have your own Bible
Ensure you have a complete Bible — both Old and New Testaments (66 books) — so that you can read the full counsel of God (Acts 20:27).
✅ Set aside quiet time daily
Make it a priority to have uninterrupted time for the Word. Jesus Himself withdrew to quiet places to pray and commune with the Father (Mark 1:35).
✅ Keep a notebook and pen
Write down insights, questions, and reflections to help you remember and apply what you learn (Deuteronomy 6:6–9).
✅ Begin with prayer
Ask God for wisdom and understanding. The psalmist prayed:
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
(Psalm 119:18, ESV)
✅ Obey what you read
God blesses not just the hearing of the Word, but its practice.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
(James 1:22, ESV)
Additional Encouragement
Reading Scripture with other believers can help you grow in understanding and accountability (Colossians 3:16). Seek out friendships with those who share your hunger for God’s Word. Avoid company that leads you away from God’s purposes, especially during this season of spiritual growth (Psalm 1:1–2).
Just as a newborn feeds many times a day to gain strength and grow, so must we feed on the Word of God daily and often.
Anchor Scriptures for Your Journey
Psalm 119:11 (ESV)
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Joshua 1:8 (ESV)
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
May the Lord bless you as you commit yourself to His Word, and may the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth.
What Is “toilsome”? (Ecclesiastes 4:4)
Question: What does the word toilsome mean?
Answer: Let’s explore it through Scripture.
Ecclesiastes 4:4 (ESV):
“Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.”
The Hebrew word “toilsome” (עָמָל), from which Amali is derived, generally refers to toilsome, burdensome labor—work that is not only physically draining but often emotionally and spiritually exhausting. It carries the idea of labor born out of struggle, and often in vain.
So, Ecclesiastes 4:4 can be paraphrased this way:
“Then I observed all the difficult and wearisome labor, and every impressive skill in work, and I saw that it often arises from rivalry or competition between one person and another. This too is meaningless—a chasing after the wind.”
Solomon, the writer of Ecclesiastes, recognized that many people’s hard work is not rooted in divine purpose, but in envy, ambition, and comparison. The implication is that even skillful work—if it is driven by jealousy or the desire to outdo others—is ultimately vain (hebel), which in Hebrew means empty, fleeting, or meaningless.
This does not mean that all hard work is sinful. In fact, Scripture elsewhere commends diligence and responsibility. However, when labor is disconnected from God, or fueled by carnal motives like greed or pride, it becomes vain toil, with no eternal value.
Ecclesiastes 4:8 (NIV):
“There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. ‘For whom am I toiling,’ he asked, ‘and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?’ This too is meaningless—a miserable business!”
This verse reveals the emptiness of labor when it lacks relational and eternal purpose. A person can work endlessly, yet never find fulfillment, because material success without spiritual alignment leads to emptiness.
Not All “toilsome” Is Evil
It’s important to clarify: Not all who labor hard do so from envy or sinful ambition.
Some people work with integrity, with good intentions, and with the fear of God. They seek to provide, to serve, or to fulfill a calling. For them, labor is a form of worship and stewardship.
And the Bible affirms this:
Ecclesiastes 5:19 (AMP):
“Also, every man to whom God has given riches and possessions, He has also given the power and ability to enjoy them and to receive his allotted portion and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.”
Ecclesiastes 8:15 (NIV):
“So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.”
When our labor is surrendered to God, it becomes meaningful. God gives joy in the work of our hands when it is done with reverence and purpose.
Jesus Gives True Rest
If your work feels burdensome, if you’re exhausted mentally and physically, and you don’t see lasting fruit—turn to Jesus. He invites all who are weary to come to Him.
Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV):
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Psalm 127:2 (ESV):
“It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.”
Conclusion
“Amali” (toilsome labor) can be either vain or valuable—it depends on the heart behind it. Work done for selfish gain or comparison leads to emptiness. But work offered to God, with godly purpose, is rewarded with peace, joy, and eternal value.
May the Lord bless the work of your hands.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit for Every Believer(Acts 2:39)
The promise of the Holy Spirit is not for a select few, but for every believer in Jesus Christ. As Acts 2:39 (ESV) declares:
For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.
This means that the Holy Spirit is God’s gift to empower, guide, and sustain us as we live out our salvation. The Spirit enables us to live at the standard God desires—holy, fruitful lives that bring Him glory (John 15:8).
The moment you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you (Ephesians 1:13):
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
While you may not have felt a physical change, His presence is real. The evidence of His work becomes clearer as you continue in obedience and faith (John 14:23).
Key Works of the Holy Spirit in a Believer
1️⃣ He guides us into all truth and opens the Scriptures to us.
The Holy Spirit illuminates God’s Word so that we can understand and apply it.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
(John 16:13, ESV)
Just as Jesus promised, the Spirit helps us discern spiritual truth (see 1 Corinthians 2:10-14).
2️⃣ He teaches and reminds us of Christ’s teachings.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
(John 14:26, ESV)
The Spirit not only helps us understand doctrine but also brings God’s Word to mind when we need it most (Psalm 119:11).
3️⃣ He helps us in our weaknesses, especially in prayer.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
(Romans 8:26, ESV)
This shows our total dependence on God—even in prayer—and the Spirit’s active role in drawing us into deeper communion with the Father.
4️⃣ He empowers us to overcome the flesh.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
(Galatians 5:16, KJV)
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other…
(Galatians 5:17, KJV)
By the Spirit’s power, we crucify the sinful nature (Romans 8:13), producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
5️⃣ He convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
(John 16:8, KJV)
The Holy Spirit keeps us sensitive to sin and calls us to live in holiness, conforming to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).
6️⃣ He gives spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church.
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
(1 Corinthians 12:7, ESV)
The Spirit sovereignly distributes gifts: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, and interpretation (1 Corinthians 12:8-11). These gifts equip the Church for ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13).
7️⃣ He empowers us to boldly witness for Christ.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…
(Acts 1:8, ESV)
The Spirit gives courage and clarity to proclaim the Gospel, just as He did with Peter at Pentecost (Acts 2).
How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit
The Spirit is present in every believer, but we are commanded to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18), meaning we must yield to His control daily.
✅ 1) Separate yourself from sin.
Holiness invites the fullness of the Spirit.
If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
(Luke 9:23, ESV)
Turn from sinful habits and pursue righteousness (2 Timothy 2:21).
✅ 2) Submit to the laying on of hands by spiritual leaders.
God sometimes uses this means to stir up the Spirit’s work.
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
(Acts 8:17, KJV)
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
(2 Timothy 1:6, KJV)
✅ 3) Devote yourself to prayer.
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
(Matthew 26:41, ESV)
Pray daily and ask God for the gift of praying in the Spirit (Jude 1:20). Allow your mouth to engage fully in prayer—true Spirit-filled prayer is not silent but expressed.
✅ 4) Immerse yourself in the Word of God.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…
(Colossians 3:16, ESV)
The Spirit speaks through Scripture. The more you know God’s Word, the more you’ll recognize the Spirit’s voice and leading.
Conclusion
When you give the Holy Spirit full place in your life, His power, guidance, and gifts will be evident. As the Apostle Paul wrote:
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
(Galatians 5:25, ESV)
The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength
Key Verse:
Nehemiah 8:10 (ESV) – “Then he said to them, ‘Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'”
In this passage, the Israelites were mourning after hearing the Law of God read aloud. But Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites encouraged them not to mourn, but to rejoice, for the day was holy. The declaration that “the joy of the Lord is your strength” is profound: it reveals that divine joy isn’t merely an emotion—it’s a spiritual resource, an empowering force that sustains God’s people in both celebration and suffering.
Clarifying the Phrase: “The Joy of the Lord”
This phrase does not refer to God’s own joy in isolation, but to the joy that comes from God and is rooted in our relationship with Him. It is a supernatural gladness grounded in the character, promises, and presence of God. It transcends circumstances. This joy is not the absence of trials but the presence of God in them.
Jesus echoed this in John 15:11 (ESV) – “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Let’s now explore six theological foundations that invite and sustain God’s joy in the life of a believer.
1. Salvation: The Foundational Joy
The first source of true, lasting joy is salvation—being reconciled to God through Christ.
Luke 10:20 (ESV) – “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
The greatest miracle in your life is not healing, provision, or deliverance—it is the miracle of your name being written in the Book of Life. When we understand what we’ve been saved from—eternal separation from God—and what we’ve been saved into—eternal life in Christ—joy becomes our natural response.
Psalm 51:12 (ESV) – “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.”
David’s prayer reminds us that salvation joy can be lost through sin, but it can also be restored through repentance.
2. Prayer: The Pathway to Fullness of Joy
Jesus taught His disciples that prayer is not only a means of communion with the Father, but also a pathway to complete joy.
John 16:24 (ESV) – “Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
Prayer is not about mechanical requests but relational engagement. Through prayer, we release burdens, gain perspective, receive answers, and experience the nearness of God.
Philippians 4:6–7 (ESV) – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Peace and joy go hand in hand in the life of prayer.
3. Obedience: Living the Word of God
Joy is not only found in knowing the Word of God—it is completed by doing it.
James 1:22 (ESV) – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
John 15:10-11 (ESV) – “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love… These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Obedience is the soil in which joy flourishes. A compromised life may produce momentary pleasure, but only a consecrated life bears lasting joy.
4. Ministry: Joy in Serving God
There is great joy in being part of God’s redemptive work in the world.
1 Thessalonians 2:19–20 (ESV) – “For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you? For you are our glory and joy.”
The Apostle Paul found joy in the fruit of his labor—lives transformed by the gospel. The same is true for every believer who serves the Kingdom. Whether you preach, teach, give, intercede, or encourage, you are part of something eternal. That brings joy.
Romans 12:11 (ESV) – “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.”
Serving God energizes us and enlarges our joy, even in hardship.
5. Worship and Praise: Dwelling in God’s Presence
God’s presence is the ultimate environment for joy.
Psalm 16:11 (ESV) – “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Worship isn’t about mood or music—it’s about acknowledging who God is. When we lift God up in praise, our perspective shifts from our problems to His power. And in that shift, joy is born.
Psalm 43:4 (ESV) – “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.”
6. The Word of God: Joy in Revelation
God’s Word is a wellspring of joy, because it reveals truth, restores hope, and reminds us of His faithfulness.
Jeremiah 15:16 (ESV) – “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.”
Regularly engaging with Scripture renews the mind and rekindles the heart. It builds confidence in God’s promises and keeps our joy rooted in eternal truth.
Conclusion: Joy as Spiritual Strength
When the joy of the Lord fills your heart, it becomes the fuel that powers endurance, patience, love, and worship. It gives you strength to pray when you feel weak, to stand firm when the enemy attacks, and to walk in hope when circumstances are dark.
Let’s remember:
- Joy is not circumstantial—it is theological.
- Joy is not superficial—it is spiritual.
- Joy is not optional—it is essential.
Galatians 5:22 (ESV) – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”
Joy is not a personality trait—it is a fruit of the Spirit.
Final Encouragement
Seek the joy of the Lord daily. If it’s already present in your life, nurture it through these six practices:
- Walking in your salvation
- Engaging in daily prayer
- Obeying God’s Word
- Serving in God’s Kingdom
- Worshiping with a full heart
- Meditating on Scripture
Then share this truth with others, because the joy of the Lord is not only your strength—it can be theirs too.
May the Lord bless you and fill you with His joy!

I Am Ready for Baptism
Baptism is one of the first steps of obedience that Jesus commands for all who believe in Him. Some people may argue that baptism is unnecessary or unimportant. But, dear friend, do not take this lightly. Even if it seems unimportant to you, it is highly significant to the One who gave the command—our Lord Jesus Christ.
Why should we be baptized?
✅ Because it is the Lord’s command.
Baptism is not optional; it is part of the Great Commission Jesus gave to His followers:
Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
✅ Because Jesus Himself was baptized as an example for us.
Although He was without sin, Jesus chose to be baptized to “fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15). If He, the sinless Son of God, submitted to baptism, how much more should we who have been saved by grace?
Matthew 3:13-15 (ESV)
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?’ But Jesus answered him, ‘Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he consented.
✅ Because baptism is an outward sign of an inner reality.
Baptism is a public declaration that you have been united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It symbolizes that you have died to sin and now live a new life in Christ.
Romans 6:3-4 (ESV)
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Who should be baptized?
✅ Those who believe and repent.
Baptism is for those who have consciously placed their faith in Jesus Christ and have turned away from sin. It is never presented in the New Testament as something done for infants or those who have not personally believed.
Acts 2:41 (ESV)
So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Acts 8:12 (ESV)
But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
When should a person be baptized?
✅ As soon as possible after believing.
In the New Testament, people were baptized shortly after believing in Jesus. There was no long waiting period or requirement for advanced spiritual maturity. Baptism marked the beginning of their new life.
Acts 2:38 (ESV)
And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:33 (ESV)
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
What is the correct mode of baptism?
✅ Baptism by full immersion in water.
The biblical pattern shows people going down into the water and coming up again—symbolizing burial and resurrection.
John 3:23 (ESV)
John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized.
Acts 8:38-39 (ESV)
And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away.
✅ Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.
This is consistent with baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, because Jesus embodies the fullness of the Godhead (Colossians 2:9).
Acts 10:48 (ESV)
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
Acts 19:5 (ESV)
On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
What if I was baptized as an infant or not by immersion?
✅ You should be baptized again in the biblical way.
If you were baptized before you personally believed or not by full immersion, it is right and proper to be baptized according to the teaching and example found in Scripture.
Where can I be baptized.
If you are saved and ready to take this step, look for a Bible-believing church that practices baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ. If you need help arranging for baptism, feel free to contact us:

Scriptures to remember about baptism
✅ Colossians 2:12 (ESV) — “Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.”
✅ Galatians 3:27 (ESV) — “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
May the Lord richly bless you as you take this step of faith.
