PRAYING FOR OTHERS

PRAYING FOR OTHERS Greetings to all readers worldwide; praying for others is not something easy doing, but we must do. We must endeavor, we pray for others and not only ourselves. The bible said the prayers of the righteous availed much; when you pray for others you are also praying multiple blessings into your life. Love your neighbor as yourself, so says GOD’s law; but many find it difficult to pray for even their neighbors. When you neighbor is happy, you will be happy; when he is at peace, you will be at peace. That is why, we must pray for them. Also, Job was a sorrowful man having lose all his possessions and children, regained all when he prayed for his friends. Not everyone is an intercessor so we say, but we have to be one to intercede for others. Job prayed for his friends, despite his predicament and all he loosed were regained in many folds. That is how it works, you might be thinking I have my own issues; GOD has not answered me, praying for others can make GOD answer you; just like Job. Furthermore, to be blessed mightily pray for others; just like I do during my devotions, I have a day aside to pray for others. At times, I pray as the holy spirit leads me; I wake up at night sometimes just to pray for someone I don’t know, nor seen before. Who are the others we should pray for: Neighbors The sick The Nations The Missionaries The ministers of GOD Those looking for the fruit of the womb The pregnant women The travellers on the sea, road and by air The widows The orphans The less-privilege The leaders The church Your friends and loved ones. You can also pray as you are led, the spirit might lead you to pray for a person you don’t know or haven’t seen before, just obey. Praying for others has great reward, just try and see the results; let it become part of you. May GOD, give us the grace to pray for others and bless us mightily.

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
