Have You Formed This Habit Yet, or are You Still Waiting?

Dear Reader,
Did you pray before turning on your computer or cell phone this morning? You see, prayer is what distinguishes you from an ordinary person. Prayer is a relationship with God. You should pray about everything and wherever you are. Prayer does not take extra time than your early morning or late evening workout routine. The problem is that many Christians do not pray as they ought to pray because of many reasons, legitimate it may seem but when you understand prayer as a life wire of faith, you will pray like you never before. When you understand what prayer is to you, you will make it to appear in your daily life schedule.
What is prayer?
Prayer is communicating with God. Prayer is crying out to God. Prayer is praising God through songs and worship. Prayer is when you think about God and make Him fill every facet of your heart and mind, i.e reflecting and contemplating. Prayer is calling out to God and asking Him for some help, thanking Him for what he has done or what he is about to do for you. It is not complicated. It is as easy as talking to a friend, it is less difficult than standing before your boss to ask for a legitimate favor. Prayer is easy but a lot of people do not pray.
Why do people find it difficult to pray?
Some of the excuses people give for skipping prayers are,

  • "I do not have enough time in the morning to pray because I have to get the kids ready for school and drop them off to school then I speed all the way to work and I am late most of the times. It sucks, I know I should be praying."
Have someone ever told you, 'take a deep breath, relax.' Praying when you wake up in the morning is like taking a deep breath before you start your morning routines. Needless to count minutes, just let your Father in heaven know that you are grateful to wake up then handover everything that your day is like, and let him help you through it. He never fails. He will remove the stress of being a perfect person from you while you enjoy a perfect relationship with everyone around you

  • I do not have a place where I can really pray to God. So I make it a point to pray only the days I go to the Church.
Everyone has a perfect place to pray. The perfect place is the heart. Whenever your heart conceives prayer, pay attention and give a moment to God. Your heart is a sanctuary unto God. You are the temple of God. You clean your heart and God will live in you. If God is living inside of you, you need not go anywhere to pray to Him. You carry Him about anyway. This does not mean that you should not pray with other people, it means that you have no excuse than to pray.

  • I have time, and room for prayer but my problem is that I do not know how to pray and what to pray. Sometimes I sit down and my mind drift off to other things.
This is not a big problem. Continue taking time to pray, read the Bible (Psalms) and one day you'll become a prayer warrior. Pray about everything, pray the news, the church, the nations, the men, the children, work, etc. You agree that there are so many prayers to make in this our erring world.

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak. She is always crying, sometimes I see her begging for bread, sometimes people send her on errands. I saw her the other day wearing tarred clothes and when I tried to say hello she ran. Who is this girl? What kept her in this misery? Who is Manma? Friends, tell me if you have ever seen her in your street. Please tell me more about her. What can we do to help her? Do not bother about her color because she c

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

Do not Destroy Your Future in one Ugly Experience.

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
