Bible & Prayer School
Bible & Prayer School
A man’s ignorance is his own mountain but the knowledge and understanding of the truth will bring forth deliverance.
Proverbs 13:13 & 15 “Whosoever despises the word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded. . . Good understanding gives favour: but the way of transgressors is hard”.
Proverbs 21:16 “The man that wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead”.
42nd Generation Foundation Bible & Prayer School is one part of our Kingdom Growth School, a place where ignorance of the knowledge of the truth can be overcome. For on the day of reckoning, ignorance cannot save.
Acts 17:30-31 “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead”.
For you need to know the truth that will set you free in every area of your life if you must enjoy the fullness of the kingdom of God and the kingdom lifestyle. John 8:31-32, Acts 5:20

The Bible
The Bible which is the Word, the will, the testimony, the covenant, the testament of God, has been described as the “Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal”.
The Christian life is a race, a journey in which in the midst of the excitement, there are difficulties on the way. Hence the Psalmist said, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord“. Psalms 119:1.
The knowledge of the Word of God helps to keep us from all defilement’s, for it is “. . . the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path“. Psalms 119:105; it is a mirror and it is the food that gives energy for the race. (1 Peter 1:23; James 1:25).
Ignorance of the Word leads to starvation, bondage, fear and insecurity. Through the Word, we come to know, learn and keep the Word of God for our blessings, prosperity and success. (Revelation 1:3; Joshua 1:6).
I call to you to arise in your hearts and graze on the Word of God for your now, today and tomorrow.

Dynamic Prayer
Prayer is the act of communion with God. During prayer we worship and give thanks to God. We also make our personal requests or those of others known to God. In prayer, we claim the promises of God by faith. In prayer, we exercise the authority and dominion over satan and all his demons and works. Prayer is a necessity for all Christians . . . our help comes from God – (Psalms 121).
“If we pray, the enemy will not prey on us”
Prayer is the inescapable life blood of every believer. For you to have strength, the faith, the zeal, the courage, the wisdom, the grace, the authority, the anointing and the ability to run the Christian race successfully, you need to live praying. Make it dynamic, make it regular. Our Lord Jesus declares that our being which is the temple of the Holy Spirit – indwelling place of God – is to be called a HOUSE OF PRAYERS.
“. . . man ought always to pray and not to faint (lose heart)” Luke 18:1.
“If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth . . .” Ecclesiastes 11:3.
”What? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy spirit who is in you, whom you have of God, and you are not your own . . . ” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
”. . . It is written, My house shall be called of all Nations the House of Prayer . . .” Matthew 21:13/Mark 11:17
Prayer-less-ness results in internal emaciation, spiritual dwarfism & constipation and finally spiritual death. Let us therefore come to the school of dynamic prayers, approach God’s throne boldly with all our hearts, the strong room of grace that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need – (Hebrews 4:14-16)
In the words of Charles Spurgeon:
“We should pray when we are in a praying mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should pray when we are not in a praying mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition”.
The 42nd Generation Foundation therefore welcomes you to the Bible & Prayer School. We pray that you find God and have your needs met, that being blessed, you can become a blessing.
