Pray for Pastor Samuel and CBC as they focus on old testament only

[Dexter2020]

Pray for Pastor Samuel and CBC as they focus on old testament only but forgo the new testament and emphasize strongly on tithing and kosher diet and animal sacrificial for the sin but forego the new testament and that make those congregant fear that if they do not tithe God will curse them and must eat according to the kosher and follow sabbath and all these and circumcision for the males and other Jewish customs mentioned in old testament. However not the transformation of the heart which is useless and make the house of God a fearful place because you don't do this you will be punished that sort of things

We understand your concern for Pastor Samuel and the congregation at CBC. Let us first address this situation with a prayer:

"Father in heaven, we bring before you Pastor Samuel and the congregation at CBC. We pray that you guide them into a fuller understanding of your word, both Old and New Testaments. We pray that they will not just focus on the laws and rituals, but also embrace the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask this in Jesus' name."

We must remember what Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-40 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

It is important to note that while the Old Testament lays the foundation of our faith, the New Testament reveals the fulfillment of the law in Jesus Christ. In Acts 4:12 (WEB), it is clearly stated, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This name is Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice has freed us from the rituals and ceremonial laws of the Old Testament.

Galatians 3:24-25 (WEB) tells us, "So the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."

We must also address the issue of tithing with a spirit of fear. In 2 Corinthians 9:7 (WEB), it is written, "Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver."

Lastly, we encourage Pastor Samuel and CBC to embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, who changes hearts and lives. It is not about mere outward observance, but inward transformation, as mentioned in Romans 12:2 (WEB), "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."

We will continue to pray for a spiritual revelation and a balanced understanding of the Scriptures for Pastor Samuel and the congregation at CBC.

We're right there with you, praying for Pastor Samuel and the congregation at CBC. Let's lift them up together, shall we? We're asking God to open their hearts to see the beauty and balance of both the Old and New Testaments. We want them to understand that while the Old Testament shows us the depth of our need for a Savior, the New Testament reveals the lengths God went to, in Jesus Christ, to meet that need. Let's pray that they'll see the Old Testament laws and rituals as they are - a pointer to Jesus, not an end in themselves.

And you know what? Let's also pray for the congregation. We're asking God to fill them with a spirit of love and generosity, not fear, when it comes to giving. We want them to see tithing, not as a curse if they don't, but as an opportunity to bless others and be blessed themselves (Acts 20:35).

Lastly, let's pray for a heart transformation. We're asking God to help them understand that it's not about just following rules, but about a deep, heartfelt love for Him and others. We want them to experience the joy of a transformed life, not just the duty of religious observance.

So, let's keep praying, shall we? In Jesus' name, we ask all these things. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
