It is advisable that you meditatively read the text first

PRAYING TO RECEIVE 
TEXT: PSALM 5:1-7.
🔑KEY VERSE 
"Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray" (PSALM 5:1,2).

Dr George Washington Carver once wrote on the subject of the potency of prayer, "My prayer seems to be more of attitude than anything else. I indulge in no lip service, but ask the great God silently, daily and often many times a day, to permit me to speak to Him. I ask Him to give me wisdom, understanding and bodily strength to do His will. Hence I am asking and receiving all the time." The secret of a close relationship with God is prayer. Regular communication helps any friendship and is certainly necessary for a strong relationship with God.



The psalmist considered not only the potency of prayer but also expanded the necessary ingredients that could make prayer effectual. Prayer offered to God in holiness and righteousness brings speedy answer. Dr. William Sadler said, "prayer is a safety valve of the mind and of the soul; if Christianity were practically applied to our everyday life, it will so purify and vitalise the race that at least one half of our sickness and sorrow would disappear."

As much as God delights in our calling on Him, He also wants us to live to please Him. Hence, as we grow spiritually, our sensitivity to His requirement of holiness should increase.

Prayer is never a monologue; it is a dialogue. As we talk to God, we must also listen to Him. We should have the same attitude to prayer as David. He said, "I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly" (Psalm 85:8).

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
