'Righteousness!' — Matthew 5:20
Key Thought
Jesus repeatedly and even deliberately enters into conflict with the Pharisees and teachers of religious law (or scribes, in some translations) in Matthew's gospel. Why? Why are Jesus' most scathing denunciations directed at those most recognized as the religious in his society? Jesus is concerned because God's truth often gets lost in their arguments over theoretical and picky religious subjects. Their goal seems to revolve around trying to justify themselves and their actions without displaying the righteousness and grace of God. Jesus wants his disciples to demonstrate the intent of the law in our lives. He wants us, as God's children, to display the heart and character of God in our daily lives. He wants his disciples to be a new generation that has living the righteousness and grace of God as its consuming passion.
Today's Prayer
Father, I want to be righteous. I want to live my life in a way that reflects your love for the lost, your compassion for the broken, your passion for holiness, and your disdain for hypocrisy. I know that this holy life is not possible on my own, so please cleanse me and make me holy by the power of your Spirit. Please bring forth the righteous character of your Son in me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

*PRAYER ROOM NIGHT PRAYER LIVE ANNOUNCEMENT*
We are delighted to start our much awaited *Prayer Room Night Prayer Live*. These sessions will be held Every Week on *Saturday & Sunday* starting from *2nd August 2025*. Make sure to join these prayers. No More Excuse! The timings and other details are give below.
Night/Midnight prayer is a powerful spiritual discipline. It’s a time when the world is quiet, distractions are minimal, and the spiritual atmosphere is often sensitive. In Scripture, we see many breakthroughs and divine encounters happen at night.
*Biblical Backups:*
- *Psalm 119:62* – *“At midnight I rise to give you thanks...”*
- *Acts 16:25–26* – Paul and Silas prayed and sang at midnight, and God caused a miraculous earthquake that set them free.
- *Matthew 13:25* – *“While men slept, the enemy came...”* — Midnight prayer helps you watch when others are spiritually asleep.
*Why Pray at Night/Midnight?*
- It’s a time of deep spiritual warfare.
- It builds intimacy with God.
- It strengthens your spirit and weakens the flesh.
- It breaks patterns of laziness and awakens spiritual sensitivity.
Midnight prayer is not about time alone — it’s about hunger. Even if you pray for 1 hour with focus and sincerity, it’s powerful. Let it be a daily sacrifice of love to God.

*_But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:_*
Matthew 6:3
*Prayer :*
*_Blessed Sunday_*
Matthew 6:3
*Prayer :*
I pray for the humility I may need to act quietly and discretely especially when I give.
Spare me from the strong urge to receive recognition from people that I am doing the good things in life. Make me forget my good deeds.
Purify my heart so that I can be more like You. Give me a heart that is genuinely caring and sincerely compassionate.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
*_Blessed Sunday_*

Break the Limitation of Discouragement (2)
David would have quit or given up if he had not believed or firmly accepted the truth that he would eventually see God’s goodness. He was convinced that although weeping might endure for the night, joy was indeed coming in the morning. Since discouragement is an attitude of the heart rooted in what we have believed in a difficult time, we will overcome it by adopting a different position of our hearts in believing the Word of God.
Believing in God’s goodness might appear as mere “Christian speechmaking.” In fact, it is easy for us to say when we are discouraged, “you just do not understand.” Although it might sound insensitive, we must be careful not to entangle God’s truth in the web of our emotions in difficult times. If we get disorderly in our problems, we make ourselves helpless and become blinded to God’s ways. Even God cannot help those who will not trust or believe Him. Satan wants us to quit or tone down “a little”—that is why he sends waves of discouragement against Christians. But God wants us to believe we will see His goodness and that our heart’s posture will determine the course of our lives. Can you believe you will see God’s goodness in that struggle in your family, Christian life, ministry, marriage, etc.? If you do, the Spirit will recharge your heart with courage and momentum to continue pressing forward, subduing discouragement, and eventually seeing the good you believed you would see.
Pray:
Ask the Lord to help us overcome discouragement.
Text: _I had fainted, Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living_ (Psalm 27:13 KJV)
