"Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever." - Ecclesiastes 1:4 (NIV)

CONCERNING PRAYERS AND MAKING VOWS
Revealed December 30, 2005

How should we pray to the true God?

The revelation of Maestro Evangelista was about the usual practice of people regarding "New Year's Resolution."  What does Maestro Evangelista say about it?  Read in the Holy Bible:

Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1 (NIV)

It is better not to make a "New Year's Resolutions," since we don’t know what will happen in the future, we should only look after ourselves.

Do what is right and fair.  There is no need to promise oneself or to any man. If you do, there might be a time when you will be tested for it. Concerning the giving of vows and offerings:

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God.  Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
Ecclesiastes 5:1 (NIV)

"listen" - we should only listen to the teaching being given, and do not give offerings so as not to be considered a fool.  When you give offerings, it is considered by God as an offense.

The practice of giving offerings to the temples and churches has corrupted the religions.  To date, the demand for offerings grew and it has become a big business.  Their hunger for offerings (tithes or collections) is insatiable.

And when we pray to God, do we need to say much?

Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
As a dream comes when there are many cares,
so the speech of a fool when there are many words.
Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (NIV)

"few" - you don't need to say much, you only have to pray directly to God and say what you really need; He already knows what you want.

Regarding Vows

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it.

He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 (NIV)

When you make a vow, never fail to fulfill it, God will hold it against you if you fail.

As it is written:

It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
Ecclesiastes 5:5 (NIV)

It is better not to make a vow, just look after your own self.
