Being in God's presence is the best one can do as a true Christian. Trilled today with Bro Eli Soriano teaching on God's word which he dwell deeply about the prayer of the household of one brethren which are in one faith and compliance to God's doctrine we were taught that the only person who we are expected to confess our sins according to God's doctrine is God alone and whoever we might have wronged or that has also might have wronged us therefore we should never take our confession to a mere man or to a pastor priest or a teacher in the church of God that is against God's doctrine instead God's doctrine demands we meet the person ask for forgiveness let's see JAMES 5:16 the scripture advise us to console one another by praying together knowing that God delight joy in a prayer of a righteous man.
In God's church God's doctrine demands that we must pray together with whoever that might have sin in as much as the sin of such Brethren is not up to death because a prayer of a just man can set such a person free. when someone sin, is not a time as a Christian who has come to the knowledge of God's words for us to start creating enemity or carrying malice nor to start destroying such person image God's doctrine demands that it is not a time to hate or to bear grudge rather God's teaching demand that it is a time to show love and to use Christ affection which Christ has shown us to direct to such person by praying together with such person.
1 JOHN 5:16, PROVERB 24:9 Likewise when we sin against God lets us with humbleness of mind and with pure purification of heart let's us ask for God's mercy knowing that God's is merciful and ever ready to take us back as his beloved children even when we sin unto him 2 CHRONICLES 7 :14 our duty as Christians we are as we are been taught today is to always pray out for any sinner not considering the person religion or household of faith because through showing such person God's love we are winning soul for christ.
God's doctrine demands that when we pray for a sinner that such sin are been forgiven in as much we obey God's doctrine we must run away from sin because God do not delight joy in a prayer of a sinner but when a righteous man calls upon God, God always gives a listening ear to such prayer because he delight joy in such prayer ISAIAH 65:24 only what demands from us is for us to always abide in his doctrine practicing it and passing it across to people in the household of faith with us.
As Christlike children we are we are meant to abide in God's doctrine even when we are been persecuted even when we are been subjected to condition we should still confess Christ like in the life of Daniel who never deannouce Christ even when been persecuted he went ahead in confessing Christ DANIEL 9: 18 Let's us always know that God never and will not delight joy in the prayer or work of an unjust man so let's us depart from appearance of things which do not glorify God neither should we repay evil to evil rather let cover all with God's love which christ has also shown us and spray it all over the world.

LESSON I LEARNT
With today's teaching I was able to grab a lot from Bro Eli Soriano teaching
•Our prayer should be directed to God alone
•When we sin against someone God's doctrine demands that we should ask for forgiveness from such person and pray together with such person
•We must abide to God's doctrine and teaching
•God do not delight joy in the prayer of a sinner therefore let's run from sin
•Let spray God's love because Christ love covers a lot of sin
CONCLUSION
God wants us to always give a listening ear to his doctrine and teaching, giving ear to every single doctrine of his and practicing all. As we have been taught that we are to pray for sinners because with our prayer that such sin is rolled away and such Person is loose from bondage of sin and lets us depart from evil which will make us guilty to stand before God's throne and make our prayer request.
