ACCORDING TO HIS WILL

Reference: Mark 10: 33-45Today's text of reference is another one that is quite interesting. James and John gather the confidence to make a request to Jesus, and they preface their request with a preamble "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask" (vs 36). That in effect was a request for a... Continue Reading →

MINIBITES

A heart of prayer precedes a habit of prayer While discipline can serve as a fuel for prayer, prayer in itself has to become a heart to heart affair with God. 'A heart of prayer' is where intimacy leads, and this is preferred over 'a habit of prayer' where prayer becomes a mechanical recital of... Continue Reading →

THE CODE TO ANSWERED REQUESTS

John 15:8 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. No house stands on nothing.

Have you ever looked back at your life and taught "I am happy God did not answer that prayer". Because if He honoured all your words, would... Continue Reading →

Reference text: 1 Kings 3:1-14 If we break down Solomon's conversation with God at Gibeon, even though he referred to himself as a 'little child', during this encounter, his words showed he was wise way beyond his age. It was evident his father's gift with words had rubbed on him positively. However, beyond this, our... Continue Reading →
