7 Questions You Should Ask Yourself

Photo Credit: RIGHT QUESTION.

The Most Powerful Thing On Earth Is...A Question.
Questions reveal passion…trust…and focus. Questions reveal who is important to you. Questions reveal who you are important to. Questions open the door for conversation with those you cherish and care about. Questions are the beginning of discoveries in life. Questions introduce you to answers.
The Difference In Seasons Is The Questions You Are Willing To Ask.

7 Questions You Should Ask Yourself
1. Whose Joy Really Matters Most To You? Discern whose joy matters and what investment you are making for their long-term comfort and success. The greatest need in your life is to bring joy to somebody.

2. Who Around You Tries The Hardest To Please You And Carry Out Your Instructions? There are people who want you to be happy without making any contribution toward your happiness. Celebrate those who have a passion to please you and carry out your instructions.

3. What Opportunities Have You Exhausted To Solve Problems Around You Through Your Gifts? Have you scrutinized your immediate environment for problems you can solve? There may be opportunities you overlooked. Inventory your environment. Where do you see an open door? Seize it. Pursue it.

4. How Do You Reward Loyalty...Caring...And Obedience? [/b]Kings document deeds. Kings are rewarders of people who bring them joy and good experiences. Do you remember the king who could not sleep one night? He reviewed the book of deeds and noticed that Mordecai had never been rewarded for his loyalty. (See Esther 6.)

[b] 5. What Have You Decided Should Be The Legacy of Your Life? Write down your legacy in a single sentence. What imprint do you desire to leave on the earth? By whom do you want to be remembered?

6. Who Finds It Easy To Learn From You? Who learns from you? These are your protégés. You can have 5 kids but only one of them learns from you. Define and identify who has the ability to receive from you. The hardest, shocking thing in your life is to find that someone you love does not receive from you.

7. How Do You Personally Build Your Self-Confidence? Self-confidence is faith in your Difference. Self-confidence is the inner persuasion that you can accomplish the goals you have established. Self-confidence births an aura of enthusiasm, hope and expectation. Your self-confidence will demoralize your adversaries, attract right people into your life and determine your level of success.

I challenge you to repeatedly interrogate yourself with these 7 questions. Your life will radically change within 7 days..!

I Would Love To Hear From You Today...would you email me at DrMurdock@TheWisdomCenter.tv and share with me the small things you are facing...so we can personally pray for you?

Lessons from Rabbits on the Health Benefits of Love

Lessons from Rabbits

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves."1

Scientists were studying the impact of a high-cholesterol diet on heart disease. To measure this effect, they fed a group of genetically similar rabbits the same high-cholesterol diet. To their amazement, half the rabbits developed heart troubles, while the others were normal, with no noticeable heart disease.

This outcome was not explainable, so they bought new rabbits and repeated the study. At the end of two weeks, they obtained the same results. Something was wrong with the research design, but they could not determine the unaccountable variable.

Eventually, they discovered that during the evening the assistant who fed and cared for the rabbits took the rabbits out of their cages and cuddled them and petted them while she changed their bedding and food. However, because she was short, she could not reach the rabbits on the top shelf, so they were simply fed and changed without being picked up. Sure enough, after two weeks, the rabbits on the top row all had heart disease, while the rabbits on the bottom row were healthy. The environment and diet were exactly the same. The only variable was expressed love through touching.2

I'm not suggesting that we ignore a healthy diet. Not at all! But every one of us also needs a healthy diet of love and affection if we are to be and stay healthy.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to be so filled with Your love that I will always be loving and affectionate towards my loved ones and also (with discretion) to all the people You bring into my life. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Romans 12:9–10 (NIV).

ToYouBible - A Recently Launched Bible App for Mobile Devices

ToYouBible - A Recently Launched Bible App for Mobile Devices Personalizes Bible Passages with the User's Name and Gender 

CHICAGO, Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Bible app, ToYouBible (http://ToYouBible.com), is revolutionizing the way Bible readers experience the Bible. The American Bible Society puts it in the short list of the 11 most creative and innovative Bible apps (http://bibletld.org/blog/post/a-list-of-innovative-bible-apps-and-websites-2015#.Vc0eUlNVikp). ToYouBible instantly populates thousands of applicable Bible passages with the user's name and customizes them to read according to the user's gender. A version of the app also allows the user to input their spouse's name, if married, and then instantly customizes all relevant biblical passages on marriage with both spouses' names. For instance, John 3:16 for a woman named Susan would read this way:
"For God so loved Susan, that he gave his one and only Son, that Susan believing in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

The popularity of Bible reading using mobile device applications has been demonstrated by the success of the YouVersion Bible app which currently has over 100 million users worldwide. This trend piggybacks on the increasing popularity of smartphones and the busy and active lifestyles of many users who are people of faith.

The ToYouBible app caters to the popularity of personalized merchandise and gifts. The creators of the ToYouBible App, believe that use of mobile devices and as well as the added value of personalization could help make Bible reading more meaningful and relevant to readers.

One of the creators, Gregory Ijiwola, Ph.D., an evangelical pastor and a Moody Theological Seminary alumnus, said his desire is to foster a more intimate experience in reading God's word.

"We believe the Bible is God's letter to humanity on his love and plans for us and it contains the answer to all of life's questions. However, when people read it, the words and promises of the Bible oftentimes seem distant and meant for people who lived thousands of years ago."

Ijiwola asserts that people of faith are taught to memorize and meditate on scriptures by speaking them. He believes the ToYouBible app can encourage this practice. "While using sound hermeneutical principles and staying true to the original text, we want to use this app to liven up Bible reading by making it read like a letter to the individual with their names directly in it," he said.

The ToYouBible App, tagged 'The Bible That Reads in Your Name' is currently available in the iOS and android version on the Apple Appstore and Google Play store respectively. According to the creators, it already has downloads from multiple countries, topping the chart for the most downloaded paid book app in a country (https://sensortower.com/ios/rankings/top/iphone/nigeria/books?date=8/10/2015).

The creators can be reached by Email, at ToYouBible.com or by calling 224-717-1504.

Rules vs. Relationships

Man of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Rules vs. Relationships

"He [Jesus] looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored."1

God is not into rules. He's into relationships. For example, when Jesus healed the man with the withered hand on the Jewish Sabbath, the religious leaders began to plot how they might kill Him. Jesus was angry with these Pharisees because, among other things, they loved their rigid rules more than they loved people. They may have had religion, but they certainly didn't have Christ, Christianity, or God!

What is even more absurd is that these same religious leaders who murdered Jesus insisted that He be taken off the cross before sundown (the beginning of their religious Sabbath day) on the day they killed Him because it wasn't "lawful" for Him to be hanging dead on the cross on their Sabbath. To leave Him there would have broken one of their laws and they would have felt ceremoniously unclean! Imagine that!

As strange as it may seem to many, religion may send more people to hell than anything else! That is, religion that depends on one's own "good works" or man-made laws, rules or traditions. These will never get anyone to heaven. God's Word, the Bible, makes it very clear that: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."2

Again, God isn't into religion or rules. He's into relationships. Jesus died so that we could be reconnected to God and have a right relationship with Him. He also wants to make us whole so we can have wholesome relationships with others and live in harmony with God's laws—not to get us into God's heaven, but so we can live wholesome lives.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You that You gave Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for my sins so that I could have a right relationship with You, others and myself. Help me to live by Your laws that give life and not be bound by man-made religion, legalistic rules, or traditions that are not based on Your Word, the Bible. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

Life's Most Critical Preparation And What Clint Eastwood Said

 Clint Eastwood, the grand old man of Hollywood.

Thursday, August 6, 2015

Life's Most Critical Preparation

"It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."1

In speaking about his "Twilight Years" actor Clint Eastwood said, "As I enjoy my twilight years, I am often struck by the inevitability that the party must end. There will be a clear, cold morning when there isn't any 'more.' No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat. It seems to me that one of the important things to do before that morning comes, is to let every one of your family and friends know that you care for them by finding simple ways to let them know your heartfelt beliefs and the guiding principles of your life so they can always say, 'He was my friend, and I know where he stood.'"2

 Clint Eastwood, the grand young man of Hollywood decades ago.

I was born a few years after Mr. Eastwood, but I, too, am realizing more and more just how short life is. The critical issue for me is not only that my family and friends know that I love and care for them, but most of all that when my life on earth is ended and I stand before God to give an account of my life, I want to live now so that I will be sure to hear God say to me: "Well done, good and faithful servant…. Enter into the joy of the Lord."3

For those who have never made their life right with God and have asked for and received His forgiveness for all their sins, I can't even begin to image the horror of what it is going to be like when they stand before God at the end of their days on earth and hear Him say to them: "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels…."4 Even some church members who haven't asked for and received God's forgiveness will say to God in a vain attempt to defend themselves, "'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!'"5

God has made it very clear in His Word, the Holy Bible, saying: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."6 To underscore the importance of this warning, God's Word also says, "As it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."7

If you have never confessed your sinfulness to God, asked Him for His forgiveness, and accepted His Son, Jesus Christ—the One who died on the cruel Roman Cross in your place and mine to pay the just penalty for all our sins so we can be freely and justly forgiven for all our sins, be sure to do that TODAY! As God's Word also says, "Behold NOW is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation."8 For further help to do this, be sure to read the article, "How to Be Sure You're a Real Christian" online at: www.actsweb.org/christian. Don't delay. Be sure and do this now--today!

Suggested Prayer: "Dear God, how can I ever thank You enough for loving me enough to give Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die in my place to pay the penalty for all my sins so that I could be freely forgiven, and receive Your gift of eternal life to spend eternity in Heaven with You forever. Please help me to be absolutely certain that I am fully prepared for life after death, and so live today that when I stand before You to give an account of my life, I will hear Your welcome words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.' Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV). 2. Clint Eastwood. 3. Matthew 25:21 (NKJV). 4. Matthew 25:41 (NKJV). 5. Matthew 7:22-23 (NKJV). 6. 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 (NKJV). 7. Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV). 8. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV).

The Church's Impact on the Family

Friday, July 31, 2015

The Church's Impact on the Family

"Let us not give up meeting together [in church], as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another...."1

As quoted in an earlier issue of Daily Encounter, a study conducted some time ago by sociologist Steven Nock of the University of Virginia showed that couples who regularly attend church are 42% more likely to be married for the first time. And those in the church who were committed to its beliefs had a 23% better chance of having a "very happy" marriage than those who don't attend church.

Furthermore, according to a report by Warren Mueller, where both parents attend church regularly, 72% of their children continue in the faith. Where only the father attends, that percentage drops to 55%, but where only the mother attends, just 15% of the children remain involved in the church.

Need I say more?

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to be an active participant in a healthy church and have positive fellowship (relationships) with fellow Christians both for my own growth and to be an encourager to others. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Hebrews 10:25 (NIV).

Why Do I Yell at my Wife?

Friday, July 17, 2015

Why Do I Yell at my Wife?

"If you are angry, don't sin by nursing your grudge. Don't let the sun go down with you still angry—get over it quickly; for when you are angry you give a mighty foothold to the devil."1

A Daily Encounter reader writes, "I have a problem. I am verbally cruel to my wife and don't understand why. I yell at her a lot and put her down. Please pray for me."

Dear Josh (name changed), thank you for being honest and admitting that you have a problem—this is the first step in overcoming any difficulty. My prayer for you is that you will ask God to help you to see the root cause of your issue and lead you to the help you need to overcome it.

It seems obvious that you have a lot of unresolved anger which undoubtedly has its roots in a stressful or impaired relationship from the past. This is what is being triggered in your relationship with your wife. As today's Scripture lesson teaches us, anger is meant to be resolved as quickly as possible. Unresolved anger doesn't go away. When we deny or bury it, it will come out in one destructive way or another—not only in damaging our relationships but in physical ills as well.

Could you be angry at your mother by any chance? Or angry at another significant woman when you were a child? Or even angry at your father? Only when you deal with and resolve impaired relationships from the past, will you be able to live in harmony with your wife and have peace in your relationships in the present.

I suggest that you see a well-trained Christian counselor—preferably one that specializes in anger management. And always pray and ask God to help you to see the real cause of your problem and help you to resolve that.

For additional help read the article, "Taming Your Anger" on the ACTS website at: http:///b439f

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You for your Word, the Bible that gives practical advice for every area of living—spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically. Please help me always to live in harmony with Your teachings. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Ephesians 4:26-27 (TLB).

Happiness and the Golden Rule

Tuesday, July 14, 2015

Happiness and the Golden Rule

Jesus Christ said, "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets."1

"A fascinating study on the principle of the Golden Rule was conducted by Bernard Rimland, director of the Institute for Child Behavior Research. Rimland found that 'the happiest people are those who help others.'

"Each person involved in the study was asked to list ten people he knew best and to label them as happy or not happy. Then they were to go through the list again and label each one as selfish or unselfish, using the following definition of selfishness: a stable tendency to devote one's time and resources to one's own interests and welfare—an unwillingness to inconvenience one's self for others."2

"In categorizing the results, Rimland found that all of the people labeled happy were also labeled unselfish. He wrote that those 'whose activities are devoted to bringing themselves happiness … are far less likely to be happy than those whose efforts are devoted to making others happy.' Rimland concluded: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"3

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You that modern research has proven once again that the teachings of Jesus, as found in Your Word, the Bible, are as relevant and as valid today as they were when written two thousand years ago. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

The God of The 12 Tribes of Israel Answers Prayers

Arise and shine and give all the glory and thanksgivings to our Almighty Father JEHOVAH God for His great faithfulness never fails because, He is new every morning.

The Almighty God of the 12 tribes of Israel in answer to one of my 12 prayer points from our three days Restoration service at the Shiloh Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Onitiri-Yaba, on Sunday, July 12, gave me a great breakthrough that will increase me 1, 000 fold in the abundance of the infinite grace of Almighty Father God, JEHOVAH JIREH.
To Him alone be all the glory, because He will never share His glory with anybody in the heavens, on the earth and entire universe.
Praise God! HALLELUJAH!

I want to thank Pastor (Dr.) Nelson Bushel, the destiny helper Almighty God JEHOVAH sent to me and Shiloh Parish last week to minister during the three days programme with the power of the Holy Spirit and God indeed manifested His glory in our church.
We sent back every evil curse and every evil wish back to the senders.
Somebody shout HALLELUJAH!
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. ~ Psalm 66.

Nigerian Christians Are Neglecting the Powerful Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Photo Credit: http://endtimepilgrim.org/gifts.htm

Any Christian without the Holy Spirit is powerless. And this is the unfortunate predicament of majority of Nigerian Christians, because they have failed to connect with the Holy Spirit of God. That is why majority of Nigerian Christians live in daily fear and lack boldness and cannot achieve any greatness in life. They have become easy pawns and victims of evil forces in the battlefield of the world. They have eyes, yet they cannot see, because they are spiritually blind. Now, let us discuss the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the power in each one.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
◄ Acts 1:8 ►

1 Corinthians 12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)Gifts of the Holy Spirit
12
1.Brothers and sisters, I want you to know about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
2. You know that at one time you were unbelievers. You were somehow drawn away to worship statues of gods that couldn’t even speak.
3. So I want you to know that no one who is speaking with the help of God’s Spirit says, “May Jesus be cursed.” And without the help of the Holy Spirit no one can say, “Jesus is Lord.”
4. There are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given to believers by the same Spirit.
5. There are different ways to serve. But they all come from the same Lord.
6. There are different ways the Spirit works. But the same God is working in all these ways and in all people.
7. The Holy Spirit is given to each of us in a special way. That is for the good of all.
8. To some people the Spirit gives a message of wisdom. To others the same Spirit gives a message of knowledge.
9. To others the same Spirit gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing.
10. To others he gives the power to do miracles. To others he gives the ability to prophesy. To others he gives the ability to tell the spirits apart. To others he gives the ability to speak in different kinds of languages they had not known before. And to still others he gives the ability to explain what was said in those languages.
11. All the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives gifts to each person, just as he decides.
One Body but Many Parts
12. There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ.
13. We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. It didn’t matter whether we were Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink.
14. So the body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.
15. Suppose the foot says, “I am not a hand. So I don’t belong to the body.” By saying this, it cannot stop being part of the body.
16. And suppose the ear says, “I am not an eye. So I don’t belong to the body.” By saying this, it cannot stop being part of the body.
17. If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?
18. God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
19. If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body?
20. As it is, there are many parts. But there is only one body.
21. The eye can’t say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22. In fact, it is just the opposite. The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are the ones we can’t do without.
23. The parts that we think are less important we treat with special honor. The private parts aren’t shown. But they are treated with special care.
24. The parts that can be shown don’t need special care. But God has put together all the parts of the body. And he has given more honor to the parts that didn’t have any.
25. In that way, the parts of the body will not take sides. All of them will take care of one another.
26. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy.
27. You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.
28. First, God has placed apostles in the church. Second, he has placed prophets in the church. Third, he has placed teachers in the church. Then he has given to the church miracles and gifts of healing. He also has given the gift of helping others and the gift of guiding the church. God also has given the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages.
29. Is everyone an apostle? Is everyone a prophet? Is everyone a teacher? Do all work miracles?
30. Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in languages they had not known before? Do all explain what is said in those languages?
31. But above all, you should want the more important gifts.
Love Is NecessaryBut now I will show you the best way of all.

Spiritual Gift of Discernment
The spiritual gift of discernment is also known as the gift of "discernment of spirits" or "distinguishing between spirits." The Greek word for the gift of discernment is Diakrisis. The word describes being able to distinguish, discern, judge or appraise a person, statement, situation, or environment. In the New Testament it describes the ability to distinguish between spirits as in 1 Corinthians 12:10, and to discern good and evil as in Hebrews 5:14.
The Holy Spirit gives the gift of discernment to enable certain Christians to clearly recognize and distinguish between the influence of God, Satan, the world, and the flesh in a given situation. The church needs those with this gift to warn believers in times of danger or keep them from being led astray by false teaching. See also I Corinthians 12:10, Acts 5:3-6; 16:16-18; 1 John 4:1.
Spiritual Gift of Knowledge
The spiritual gift of knowledge is also known as the “word of knowledge” or “utterance of knowledge.” The Greek word for this gift is Gnosis and it simply means knowledge and understanding. The Scriptural emphasis in 1 Corinthians 12:8 is on the ability to speak this knowledge to others in a given situation. In the opening passages of 1 Corinthians, Paul spoke of knowledge and recognized that the highest form of knowledge among men is the Gospel of Jesus Christ (i.e. the testimony about Christ, cf. 1 Corinthians 1:4-7). What we can conclude then is the gift of knowledge is an understanding of the things in this world and in our lives that is founded in the Gospel and rooted in the Scriptures. This gift is closely related to the gift of wisdom which is alluded to by Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.
The Holy Spirit gives this spiritual gift to some believers to bring about understanding and to inform the church or individual believers. The person with this gift is usually well-versed in the Scriptures and often has much committed to memory. They can retain the truth and communicate it effectively at the appropriate times. The gift of knowledge allows a believer to relate the Scriptures, and particularly the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to all aspects of life in this world. They can see how it connects to every situation and circumstance and how the reality and truth of the Gospel is to inform every decision a Christian makes.

Please, it would be most beneficial to read and meditate on each of the gifts as defined in the link I provided.
I have pasted the two on Discernment and Word of Knowledge that I know are most lacking among majority of Nigerian Christians, especially the power of the spirit of discernment which to me is a MUST HAVE, because it helps you to discern the evil spirit of falsehood, conceit and deceit or commonly known as the evil spirit of lies which we all know is possessing majority of people in the world and not only Nigerians. But this evil spirit of lies seems to be most active among Nigerians whose lifestyles are packaged in falsehood.
They lie as they drink water. In fact their saliva is coated with lies. And I thank God for the Holy Spirit Gift of the Power for Discernment.
It is a waste of time to lie to me or lie against me as many people who know me have found out.
The Holy Spirit does not waste time in revealing it to me in dreams and visions. And sometimes the revelation comes with speaking in tongues as God speaks aloud to you and also gives you the interpretation and in my own case, the revelation has always been right no matter how the person lies and tries to cover his or her lies.
Our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ warned us against this evil spirit of DECEPTION.
DECEPTION is what Satan and his children and agents use most. But Jesus Christ gave us the easiest and simplest way to discern and expose them, because He said by their fruits you shall know them. By their behaviours and characteristics of their actions you will sooner or later know them and please, always expose them. When you fail to expose them, you have become an accomplice and converted to their cult of Satan, the Father of Lies.
The difference between children of God and children of Satan is the TRUTH.
Children of God hate lies and that is why we cannot accept lies, no matter how attractive and lucrative the lies come to tempt us and ensnare us.
With the power of discernment as we pray, we shall be delivered, because it is written:
"We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped."
◄ Psalm 124:7 ►

"For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."
◄ John 4:24 ►

"For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
~ ◄ Matthew 24:24 ►

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."
◄ 2 Corinthians 11:14 ►

"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"
~ ◄ Matthew 7:16 ►

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
~ ◄ John 8:32 ►

http://biblehub.com

It is a waste of time for liars to pray to God until they repent.
Every prayer of a liar without repentance is an abomination unto God and becomes a curse unto the liar.

May our Almighty Father JEHOVAH God help us all to desire, ask for and receive the infinite powers of the Holy Spirit in the battlefield of this world. Amen.

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye on the Power of Prayer and How To Pray

PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE:
https://www.facebook.com/PastorEAAdeboye

God can give you another chance. Today I join my faith with yours, write your prayer request below and encourage your loved ones to do the same.

If you are living in sin and calling on God to bless you, that's magic you are asking for and magic comes from the devil, Miracles comes from God almighty.

The power of prayer: some of you are saying well I have prayed but nothing is happening. Check yourself Isaiah 59:1-2 KJV
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: [2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

The power of prayer: don't let the devil shut you up, the moment you start to pray quietly then you are gone. Cry Out Loud.

When it's time to pray, don't pray like ladies and gentlemen. Pray like warriors when your problems as been solved then go back to being ladies and gentlemen.

The power of prayer: After you have prayed, RELAX. God has never failed before and He won't start with your case.

The power of prayer: After you have prayed be ready to receive.
1 Peter 2:24, 2Cors 8:9

Let No One Demote You When God Wants To Promote You

Whosoever Says You Should Not Make A Joyful Noise in Praise of God is an Enemy of God

Now you go inside your room and shut the door to praise and worship God, clapping your hands and singing choruses with joyful noise of praise to God who has given you the breath of life and the voice you have to live everyday. But your flat mate who disturbs you with rants of his discordant hip hop and old school songs and hardly joins you in reading the Holy Bible or praying is upset by your private joyful moments with your maker and owner and upset that your testimonies are in fact increasing with contracts given to you to promote big brands like GTBank, Arel, Emirates Arline, Apple, COVERGIRL, Fair & White Gold, Eva Soaps, Transform Nigeria Group and IMAX on your blogs and you are sharing these testimonies of the favours of God with the publications of your books designed in the Philippines and printed in America and distributed by the leading booksellers in the world. And your duly registered companies with projects are also increasing from just one in 2008 to four companies in 2015.

Instead of him to be happy for you and rejoice with you that you are making progress and success since you came to live with him and he has also been blessed with changing the old car he has not changed in six years to buy two other cars one after the other and travelled for the first time in his life through your opportunities, made N4 million from his printing contracts and more millions from your God given idea and traveling almost every year and even got an all expenses paid trip to speak at a leading American university from your idea. But he takes your close friend who is a member of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries to a  bar to make mockery of you; that you are a college dropout and that your loud clapping and praise and worship of God upset him. He continues to take your friend to the bar and buy him drinks and continues to say negative things about you, but comes smiling before you later and teasing you like a friend.

Hie makes himself an enemy of God and does not even know it. While he is now owing people money, but others are owing you. He cannot pay his office rent for two years and the landlady takes him to court and the case continues and he is also owing two years house rent in a house owned by his elder brother who made another person the caretaker. You tell him that you will be moving to a five bedroom house to use as office and residence and he is not happy about it, because he prefers you to move into a lower place since he wants to demote you against the will of God to promote you.

He knows you have been saving for the bigger place and you have only a month to move, but he suddenly sends you a text message at the time he knows you do your daily morning praise and worship at 5.30 am with a stern warning to leave his flat within a week. He has already warned you that he is not a nice person and can do terrible things. He disrupts your plans and forces you to spend your savings to move into a guest house to avoid any trouble with him.

You tell the world the truth about the great idea you shared with him that has made him over N3 million in three years and he has given you only N151, 000 from the the total amount and kept the rest to himself. Then he becomes angry that you have told the truth which he has been hiding for years and threatens to kill you for not covering his lies.

You turn to God and read Psalm 50 that reveals a lot about him.

God is with you, because the battle is not yours but the Lord's.

For every enemy of a child of God is the enemy of God.

Just keep on praising and worshiping God in Spirit and Truth; in fact, you can make the loudest joyful noise to God. HALLELUJAH!

"For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

◄ Matthew 12:37 ►

How To Discover the Power of Prayer

Until you discover the power of prayer
You are yet to know the greatest power.

The only way to discover the infinite power of prayer is to connect with the only one who can answer your prayer no matter who you are and wherever you are as long as you worship only HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH and not in conceit and deceit.
God does not answer the prayers of liars.

Until you connect with the Holy Spirit of God, you have no relationship with God.
And without relationship with God you cannot discover the power of prayer.
For the power of prayer comes from the Holy Spirit and not from your throat.
If the Holy Spirit does not dwell in your heart and soul, you cannot have the power of prayer that will move mountains.

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me."
~ ◄ Psalm 42:7 ►


"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
◄ John 4:24 ►

Share your living testimonies of the power of prayer.


~ By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima, Author of "Children of Heaven", "The Prophet Lied" and other books on Amazon., Barnes & Noble and other online bookstores.
