Prayer as no challenger

It is the symphony of the soul cry,man to man, man to God God
to man, and the heaven still  to let the wailing sounds of  earthen comes to its ears. 
From parch places, to depth of ocean floor, up rise struggling,stumbling lips, languages of the perishable meeting the imperishable.


What glories when heaven, is in attendance.

On our motto: "think critically and pray strategically."

That is my take for today.

The great debate, Pt: 2.

God is God, and he just knows how to deal with the
issues in our lives. He is not off in some distance  atmospheric place caught up in his own fantasy
island.He is with us, walking along side, beholding
our order every day. Dost it not matter to him where
we are, and what we are experiencing now? Emphatically, I say yes. This is far fetch  when we
are experiencing or seeing the cranial circles of  violence, war, poverty,and whatever the barbaric mayhem besetting humanity Oh glee where is he? The theologians debating it, scientific minds analogize it, the common man pander it in  some sarcastic ways and there are other who simple crying, Lord! help us. A benevolence God is saying I can, and I will help, cry.

May be one of the thing we lest looked into deeply, as like doctors doing open heart surgery, is the divine providence of God in this whole human affairs throughout history. Certainly their are silver cards which left no doubt in my mind that someone bigger at work in all this. He got us all cover, no matter what. God is in love with us, and he saying come let sit, and have a talk. In your simple way just let him know this is it Lord.!
The beauty about it, is that God wants to here, on answer our prayers. Many of you  are praying, press on.

Now the following will I pray strengthen our resurgent as the debate continue in the human mind.

  • You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never do more than prayer, until you have pray- A.J. Bounds.
  • No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study  no gifts will supply its lack-E.M.Bounds.
  • When prayer has become secondary, or incidental, it has lost its power. Those who are conspicuously men of prayer, are those who use prayer as they use food, or air, or light, or money. M.E. Andross.
  • True prayer is measured by weight, not length. A single groan before God may have more fullness in it than a fine oration of great length.- C.H. Spurgeon.
  • Eloquence is drowning out our prayers, making it very difficult to deal with the heart -A.A.Cuff
  • .Prayer is the only burden need carry-A.A.Cuff.

 Remember as the great debate continues, we need to pray no matter what, it is prayer time friends. let us all pray, shall we? By the way next in the series is " The difficulty with prayer." You see the difficulty with prayers is the psychological process of dealing with ourselves when faces with the character of God. See you then.

Our motto is: " Think critically, and pray strategically."

The great debate, PT:1

I would like to share with you a few things from a small booklet still in the workshop. Different chapters will brake down into series. We also will look at the difficulty with prayers. Someone said " We are condemn to
meaning.", and that is an indisputable fact. On an this seemly contradictory path again, I quote ." God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change: the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference ."

Amen to that , shall we ?. Given an overview of the above, live is awesome, wonderfully sweet, but what about the chaotic? . One of my work booklet, " Life is hard bend your knees and then rise", yes, it is out this choc us  we find solutions for our problems. The comfort for the comfortless, hope for the hopelessness. Life is really hard, we experiences the agong of defects, the glories of triumph, the resiliency of the human spirit to rise against all the adds. Personal defeats reminded us that we are human and force to the good

Bye now you must fully aware that we are not alone. Here the consoling, comforting word of the Psalms. This too is a prayer, and I will say this, the bible is one giant book of prayers men calling upon the name of the Lord. PSALMS 23. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not wont. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou properest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Am closing pt 1, and pick up pt 2 next as the great debate continue from my booklet, " Contemporary prayers at the box office."

On what is our motto ? " Think crucially and pray strategically " Amen.

The Dark Knight Rises official trailers playlist (playlist)

Now am by no means a movie goer , may be I never slow down long enough to taking any. Most of the time I do so with a D.V.D. " The Dark Knight Rises" what a blast, a sure hit. I am reminded of other vicious elements in our mist, that is always challenging our faith, destroying lives, and desiring to to bring us to
 naught. We need our  Dark Knights of faith to rise in PRAYERS ,AND ACTIONS, TO TAKE A STAND NOW THE LORD IS ON OUR SIDE.

Make no mistake about this, it is that our weapons is not the once you see in this movie. Our weaponry are not carnal, they are spiritual, for defeating the enemy on every front in this warfare. Pedro said this, " The weapons of our warfare can only be exercised in the place of prayer."

I will add this prayer, " God grant me the serenity to accept the thing I cannot change: the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." now we all can say amen to that. shall we ? Oh!
watch the clip below.

Calling up the reservists, it is prayer time.

Acts 12: 1-5. Now about that time Her'od
the King stretched out his hand to harass
some from the church.
2 Then he killed James the brother of John
with the sword.
3 And because he saw that it pleased the
Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter
also. Now it was during the Days of Un-
-leavened Bread.
4 So when he had arrested him, he put him
in prison, and delivered him to four squads
of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him
before the people after Passover.
5 Peter was therefore kept in prison , but
constant prayer was offered to God for him
by the church. ( N.K.J.V. ).

The only burden need carry.

Quotes for today.

" If you do not pray, you easily become a prey!" Pedro Okoro.


"The weapons of our warfare can only be exercised in the
place of prayer." Pedro Okoro.

" Every source of blessing is a point of attack" David McGee.


"Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose
our arguments, despise our persons, but they are powerless against our prayers" T. Sidlow Boxter.

" We are locked in a battle. This is not a friendly, gentlemen discussions. It is a life and death conflict between the spiritual hosts of wickedness and those claim the name of Christ." Francis Schrieffer.


This is my take for today. the only burden need carry, lets pray, it is prayer time.

W.E.B. Dubois " Give us Grace ."

" Give us grace, O God, to dare to do the
deed which we well know cries to be done.
Let us not hesitate because of case, or the
words of men's months, or our own lives.
Mighty causes are calling us- the freeing of
women, the training of children, the putting
down of hate and murder and poverty- all
those and more. But they call with voices that
mean work and sacrifices and death. Mercifully
arrant us, O God, the Spirit of Esther that we
say: I will go unto the King and if I perish, I perish"
 That is my take for to day, " Think critically, and pray strategically' You can sent your prayer request to theprayers@outlook.com. an lets talk to the Lord about it, shall we?

From my perspective.

 I dare to say a life of prayer is one of living, in the daily  walk of
 live. It is fellowship, as it is worship, spiritually speaking..
 The cross is never for behind;as it is the ever pressing waite of
 glory. Where there is fervent, purposeful prayer, it never willl fail to ignite fire. The naked truth is, it is fire, and glory is its presence.

If prayer is prayer as it ought to be, it then on owns to
obedience, for his will is all that matters. " Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven." In the servant hood of services, the
subject to the object is sublime in this our labor of love.

Note that any true meaningful, fulfilling live of the believer of
faith, find its true place in prayer.It was John Wesley who said
" God does nothing except in response to believing prayer. These words ring true,that is so awesome. Paul reminded us
that we can do all things through him, that is Christ. You will agree
with me, that is a powerful assurance to lay claim to, wow!
 I close with this, " Prayer strikes the wining blow; service
 is simply picking up the pieces" S.D.Gordon.


 On that is my take for today.

How dared you.! it is because of:

Heb: 4-16 Let us therefore come boldly unto
the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need. That was
the writer to the Hebrew. The certainty of the
writer name and date is sum what not clear, but
at any raid the urgency of this verse is so pronounced.
The urgency is like the declaration of war of one
country to another. It was John Knox who said,
" Give me Scotland else I die!" 1543-1572, that
was daring, and I will say great boldness.

Now I don't know where you were on June 5/ 1989 when this picture was flash across our television sets of
the popular democratic reform movement lead by student in China. Here a bold protester stood in front  the
might of the Chinese army. Personally I don't  remember where I were at the time , but the case in point here
is this stunning acted of  bravery, what a bold stand. If you indeed a believer in prayer, then you must pray,
right.? A encouraging though here is to come boldly. In this the hour of our humanity, it is imperative that we
come boldly and ask of God, shall we.?

" Unconditional affirmation."

" I 'm going to hold steady on you,
 an' you've got to see me through"
Harriet Tubman.
                                             

 What acted of faith, and of the certainty that
God will see us through, but we must come boldly.

Is our prayers a box office hit?

Prayers do get complicated, sometimes from our belief system, and often we are not sure if the gods or God, answered our prayers. Could it be that we do not
really know how to, especially to get the answer we seek in prayer.? No wonder the disciple asked " Lord teach us how to pray."  There was this something about Jesus prayers that they wanted to emulate him, hence the simple requested.. He responded in the affirmative and began to teaches them by given a method how to
 prayers and do it effectively. I think this is the heart of the matter, don't you?

Here are some pointers to remind ourselves of when we pray:

  • Motives: It must be pure, disregard the hidden agenda.
  • Sincerity : Say what you mean, and meant what you said
  • You are asking of God, not man, and this should be utmost in our mind.
  • It is His desire that we come to Him in prayers. 
  • Only you can pray like you can pray, do not be afraid   
I have come to the realization that in prayer, the first encounter must
be with ourselves. Who we really are, and before who we come.
Oswald Chambers as this to say, " The battle of prayer is against two
things, in the earth lies wandering thoughts, and lack of intimacy with God's
character as revealed in his word. Neither can be cured of once, but they
can be curse by discipline."

About that box office hit, bear in mind the pointer above. Now in closing, there is
the scripts, the players, the directors and God, who will simple do what
he dost best, deal with our prayers according to his will for our lives. Yes friends,
God do answered prayers, and we ought to pray.

Motto: " Think critically and pray strategically.""
