MEANING OF WORDS IN THE BIBLE.

PETITION - This is from  Greek word ‘deesis’ means to pray earnestly strongly until response has been found.  Petition means to present  strong statement before the presence of God and continue to interrogate with God until you get your answers. We can see this in the scriptures how Jesus Christ teaches us to pray earnestly without give up until you are  given your  right  quickly. The word ‘given your  right  quickly’  means you  continue  praying or  asking until you receive what you have  prayed or asking.  You can read  more in texts  relating  to petition  in  Luke 11: 5-10; 18: 1-8; James 5: 17-18; Colossians 1: 9. 

He himself our Lord Jesus Christ when he approaching  his death He made ​​prayers and petition with strong crying and tears which was heard. In that He feared God and learned to obey. Immediately, God's angel came to strengthen Him;  Hebrews 5: 7-8; Luke 22: 39-44. We also we need to fear God and learn through His word and obeying according to how God’s  word says so He can hears us when we pray and give us our desires, 1 John 3:22; John 9:31; Proverbs 15:29.

PRAYER - Means to submit your personal needs before God. Requirements should include the necessities such as food, clothing, shelter and other similar things, that  is why Jesus gives a vivid example when He  says we give our children good gifts and  also ask.  Is it not so much our Father who is in heaven who give good things to those who ask Him?. The good gifts or good things are those requirements we ask from God.  Matthew 7: 7-11.

SUPPLICATIONS -  Represent the needs of others or pray for others instead of  praying  personal prayer for  yourself.   1Thessalonians 1: 2; 2; 11-12 and Colossians 1: 9.

THANKS - This is the Hebrew word ‘Yadah’  means say  the words of gratitude, Psalm 107: 21-22; Hebrews 13:15. Gratitude is the most important thing before God.  We must be grateful for every good thing. Those ten lepers cleansed by Jesus but did not return to thank, only one had a grateful heart.  1Thessalonians 5:18; Luke 17: 17-19.

WORSHIP - Comes from the Hebrew word ‘Shachah’. This word means bowing, prostration, or lying prostrate before God or under the feet of the King. Luke 4: 8; 2 Samuel 24:20.

ANOINTING - Means to put, pouring oil, separated or consecrated for a specific work of God, like the priesthood, kingship and prophet. Luke 4:18; 1 Samuel 10: 1; 16:13; Exodus 30:30; 1 Kings 19: 15-16

HEALING OF DISEASES.

The source of the disease. Diseases are caused by sin. That is why when Jesus healed a sick man he warned him saying, "... See you are well; Sin no more, lest a worse thing may happen to you!" John 5:14. If a person has sinned and got sick, when  he go for check up  the disease will be visible. When  he do  a check up and   disease is invisible  probably demons had entered to him. "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself,and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of of that man is worse than the the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation”. Matthew 12:45. Sometimes not every person who is sick has sinned, but  the result of a disease in the body is caused by missing nutritious daily meal (lack of balance diet). Some  the wickedness in the human body can also be due to God's purpose even  though not all of it. "The Lord said to him, who has made ​​man's mouth? Or who causes the person to be dumb, or d...

FRUIT OF PATIENCE

This is the fruit that shows the patience of God to men, although they are sinful.  God is patient and he give them the time to turn and repent. He is slow to anger and    compassion for his people.  He  love to draw them to repentance.  ".... The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering,  and abundant in goodness and abundance,  keeping merciful for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; not ascribing evil man who was innocent would never ... ". Exodus 34: 6, 7. We can  continue to learn about the patience of God, before he brought a flood of water  upon the earth in order  to destroy the mankind because of the evil they were doing.  He gave them a period of time if they will repent. "People should obey the past, God's patience while waiting in the days of Noah, while the ark was made; wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved in the water". 1Peter 3:20. Those who did not repent were destro...

FRUIT OF HUMBLENESS

The word humbleness  in Greek language is praytes. For a  Christian who know God, he has to understand  that to be humble is the basic thing.  Humbleness is built by a Christian himself,  when somebody offends or endure you   forgive him.  For  a Christian life who has stood firmly in God when he meets or hurted a lot,  he can  overcome all  by  prayers. Eventually he will become happy and peaceful as it is written: "But the meek ​​.... shall delight themselves in the abundance of faith". Psalm 37:11.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is gre...
