Matthew 6:5-6
King James Version
5 And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward.
6 But thou,
when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
The PRAISE village is a born-again concept, straight from SPIRIT.
Using the ideas He gave me.
Using the WORD of GOD in my heart.
Using all the experiences and research I have.
It is a village that prays.
That worships GOD alone.
The faithful acknowledge the gospel of JESUS CHRIST.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
The villagers live according to GOD's laws.
The village is a daily exercise in living by faith.
The villagers are all born again.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
They live, and work, for the GLORY of GOD.
Why is it important to have a PRAISE village?
The DAY of the LORD draws near.
We must focus on JESUS, not the ways of the world.
We must teach our children, and each other, the ways of GOD.
And that's through living by the Bible, following GOD's statutes.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
