SET TIME TO BRING FORTH

SET TIME TO BRING FORTH

This is a new month. It is the eighth month of the year, 2008. Eight stands for ‘New Beginning’. In somebody’s life, God is about to birth a new thing starting from today. It may not appear so right now; you may not even feel anything! Your feeling has nothing to do with it. In addition, people normally refer to a special person visiting as an “august visitor”. In this very month of August, 2008, there is somebody reading this newsletter that will be uniquely visited in Jesus’ name. It will be a Vivid Visitation that will be
noised around just like that of Mary, in the Bible.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. “For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” (Gen 21: 1, 2)

This is the Scripture that had been rolling in my heart all along! It is meant for someone out there reading this piece. Sarah was visited. What kind of visitation? God spoke to Sarah and Abraham before, and it was like it will never come to pass. Medically there was no hope for them-as they had passed the age of child bearing.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken”

But because God spoke, there must be a change. The Bible says:

“For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33: 9).

God promised visiting Sarah; and He did visit Sarah in a vivid way! The visitation started with a conception. There is someone as you are reading this; you are conceiving your restoration. Another one, it is your season of breakthroughs! To another, it is time to bring forth that divine idea that will catapult or shoot you up from where you are to where you are supposed to be! All you need to do is believe God, believe His Word and believe His prophets-his ministers who are being sent to you.

Someone is silently complaining I have believed His Word or promise for a long time and there is no manifestation yet; what should I do then? My reply is keep on believing; for He that will come will come; live by faith on a consistently basis.

“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.”

“For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.” (Heb 10:35-37). After the conception, Sarah eventually brought forth.

When? In the book of Genesis, Sarah brought forth at the “set time”. We must keep on believing God until we get to the set time of God. At the set time the manifestation must come forth. Sarah brought forth her man-child called Isaac. In between, were 9 months of waiting patiently! David said, I patiently waited for the Lord and He inclined unto me and heard my cry (Psalm 40:1-4a).

The Lord will hear you this month; this is your time and turn to be visited! Remember, Sarah was visited; but it took 9 months for the manifestation of Isaac. Many would have thought Sarah was infected with fibroid or tumor growth at the age of 90 when in reality she was pregnant! Do not worry as some may not understand the dealing of God with you; but keep your focus on the Lord; the author and finisher of your faith! He will finish what He has begun in you as it is written:

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil 1:6) .

There is someone reading this piece , you have been waiting for long and it is like you are about to give up. Do not quit! Something is about to break forth. Your light is breaking forth from obscurity! Arise, it is your time for total turn around! In this month, there shall be no more delay. Expect that visitation that will make your expectation to change to manifestation.

‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’

“You will arise and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, yes, the set time has come.” – Psalm 102:13. “Therefore say to them, ‘thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’” (Ezek 21:28)

There shall be no more postponement. Expect God to show up in your marriage this month and destroy that yoke of oppression. Be eagerly expecting Him to manifest in your career or business this month Remember, expectation is the mother of manifestation.

Your Word of breaking forth is coming. Someone you are there, God is singling you out of the crowd, in the midst of chaos and crisis of the world around you. This is your time to show case His glory and goodness in the land of the living.

PRAYER POINTS
O Lord my God remember me for good this day as you remember Hannah in Shiloh; and cause me to bring forth and breakthrough in Jesus’ name. 1 Sam 1:19b.

.
O Lord my Father, turn unto me as you turn unto David in His father’s house, and favour me by giving me a lifting beyond my imagination (Psalm 86:16-17).

What to do this month to accelerate His Visitation?

1. Get closer to Him in His Word.

2. Read, Meditate & Do the Word.
3. Pray fervently and with faith.
4. Maintain a regular time of prayer as you do for your meals. Jer 33:3 & James 5:16-17.
5. Walk uprightly and in the Spirit. Psalm 84:11
6. Be expectant. The expectation of the righteous shall be granted says the Bible. Prov 10:24b.
7. Be always thankful. A man of God, Dr Benson Idahosa said: “If you are thankful, then your tank will be full.” One of my mentors, Bishop Wale Oke is wont to say: “Gratitude is the master key to greater release”.

Thank the Lord for answering you beyond your asking and thinking. Eph 3:20.

I AM COMING OUT!

I read a piece sent out to all friends and partners of the minstry of a friend, Bishop Michael O. Amamieye, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and I was tremendously blessed. I then asked for his permission to let it out on my blog to be a blessing to all readers of this site.

You will surely be imparted as you read!

"Exodus is a very important book of the Bible. This is so because all through your life on earth, you will need to have many Exodus experience. The first five words of the Bible states, “In the beginning God created…” Gen. 1:1. God is a good God. Everything He does, He leaves His signature of perfection. James 1:17. Even after He made man, He left His signature. Man was declared good, in fact, very good. Gen. 1:31. The Book of Beginnings closes with these five words, “…in a coffin in Egypt.” Gen. 50:26. The good creation of God called man was put in a coffin in Egypt. Egypt simply means black or dark. God the Father of lights created light beings called man. But this man eventually found himself locked up in a coffin in the regions of darkness. The coffin or casket is the end of story for whoever is in it. So for man, the end of story in this life is a coffin.

When you find a full stop, you can make it a continuum if you add several other dots. If you are told by someone: you are stupid. The stop puts an end to it. But you can add several other dots: they said, you are stupid…but you say, that is your opinion. Then you make your statement. Your statement changes everything they have said. It is the one who has the final say who wins the fight. Exodus is God’s dots on the story of man. The Devil thought that it was all over with man placing him in a coffin in the regions of the dead. God just added some dots and we have Exodus. Exodus is an Old Testament Greek word which means a departure.

God made a statement to the Devil. It was like telling the Devil, before you start having a party that you have succeeded in putting my dream man in a coffin in the gulag, hold it, he is coming out! Just shout, I am coming out! If the weight is too much and it seems like it will grind you, scream on top of your voice, I am coming out! Shout it until those around you think that you are going crazy because most times for you to get well you have to go wild. No normal human being has made a difference. It takes abnormal or rather supernormal people to make a difference. Make that
difference today. Just shout, I am coming out!

Let me just put this in here, deliverance is not a ministry God has given to some selected few. Deliverance is a daily bread from God for His beloved children. That is why Jesus taught us to pray daily, “…deliver us from evil…” Matt. 6:13. You will never out grow this. That is why Exodus will be a continuous experience as long as you live here on earth. You will always need to be delivered from something or someone or somewhere or sometime. Somebody needs to be delivered from your present status to a better one. Someone needs to be delivered from sin to right living. Someone needs to be delivered from your present job to a better one. Someone needs to be delivered from singleness to a happy married life.

God set His machinery in motion to bring His people out of the coffin in Egypt. How would He do that? He has to use a man by name Moses from our text. God will always use human beings to bring you out of any coffin in Egypt to your Promised Land. Make no mistake about this: God will use human beings to bless you. That was why to save us, He had to become a Man, the Man Christ Jesus. How would Moses do this? By God’s word. The word carries the force that can deliver and force you out of any coffin you have been placed. The ministry of reconciliation or release can only be accomplished by the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:18,19. 
From our text, God said to Moses, you will go to Egypt where My son is put in a coffin. You will say to Pharaoh, Let My son go. No matter the coffin you have been forced into by human opinion, society, government policies, etc. By the word of the God of Moses whom I serve, you will come out in Jesus name. Amen. All Moses was required to do was to tell Pharaoh what Jehovah said. It is a simple assignment. Go and tell Pharaoh, Let My people go. You will assume that the moment Moses went the first time, it will just happen. Moses went to Pharaoh more than ten times repeating the
same message. The message never changes even though the methods changes with time and people.

I know that if you were Moses, after some few trials, you would have given up. Moses was under command. He went each time God came to him. God’s message never changed until it came to pass. I want to challenge you to keep saying to your Pharaoh until you see the change that God told you about. Don’t give up at the first few trials. Go again. Elijah told his servant to go six times. At last, the seventh time, he saw cloud like a man’s hand. 1 Kings 18:42-44. Elisha told Naaman the leper to deep seven times before he was healed of his leprosy. I don’t know how many times you have to speak the word or plant your best seed or make a sacrifice or do
something that will bring the change God has spoken about. Do it, because very soon what God said will become real for all to see. You will come out like the Israelites. They came out of Egypt with great substance. I see you march triumphantly from that coffin in Egypt. I see you come out to the limelight. I see you rise out of obscurity. Your star will shine again. 
See you at the top."

FROM DESPERATION TO EMANCIPATION

In the picture, Dr Heidi Baker, the fervent and fiery apostle & missionary to Mozambique, posed with Pastors John & Mary, at the "Open Heaven Conference" in Singapore, January 2008.

This week, enjoy reading from another chapter of the book: "HIS HELPING HANDS", due to be released soon from the stable of Xulon Press, USA.

Read, Remember and Retain for, the Bible says: "wisdom is profitable to direct".

DESPERATION TO EMANCIPATION

“After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well?’ ” (John 5:1-6)

A desperate man is like a very hungry man. A desperate man could be like a dangerous man in a sense too. He is ready to try to get anything that he believes he can get. Are you so desperate to excel for Jesus Christ in life? Your actions will show to all the degree of your desire. Many really have desires in life but it takes real determination, plus a lot of

discipline, to get to that desired place.

The Lord Jesus Christ himself at the pool discovered this man. To some of us this man had no faith. Why should Jesus go for a man who has no faith to be healed and delivered?

However, if we really think it through, we will see that this man possessed faith.

We are told that many always lie near the pool of Bethesda, waiting for the moving of the water. Whosoever first jumped into this pool would be healed or made whole of any disease he was suffering from. Many had waited in anticipation until their expectation was turned into manifestation in the end. So it was really worth the wait!

However, many had also left the pool after a long time only for somebody to get into the pool ahead of them, and so all their effort amounted to nothing. There is one thing worth noting in this story. Why would no one among the sick decide to stay in the pool instead of waiting for the moving of the water?

In that case, if the angel came; the moving of the water waves would reach him first before any one could jump in. What does this translate to in our day?

We need to be in the Word of God. We need to hear the Word of God with the proper hearing of faith. There is the need to pay particular attention to the Word of God, staying long in the logos till it turns to rhema. We should get ourselves soaked in the Word of God and saturated with the Living Water of the Word till that Word becomes flesh!

In this account, the man abandoned himself at the Throne of Grace refusing to go home. He knew God would show up but he did not know when. Relatives had forsaken him as had friends. No one seemed to care anymore for him. He was desperate for deliverance. He was watching the pool day and night. Even though he laid there helplessly with little or no strength as a paralyzed man, something in him was saying one day it would be his turn. Though he did not know how, he still kept his focus on the water.

Keep your focus on the Living Water; He is ever ready to satisfy you.

“For the Lord GOD will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
Surely the Lord GOD will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.” (Isaiah 50:7-9)

He fixed his eyes on the Living God. He had seen many leaving that place rejoicing all the way to their homes. He believed one day it would be his turn. That was why whenever there was the stirring of the water by the angel on assignment; he would use all his strength to get to moving water first. He did not complain of a lack of strength or weakness and resign himself to die. No, he believed his day of destiny would come!

Finally, after 38 years in that condition, his day of destiny did come. Forty years makes a generation. Almost a generation of the life of this man had been wasted. May God restore our wasted years in Jesus’ Name.

A man walked up to him. He said: “Would like to be made whole sir?” It was a simple question. The man retorted: “I have no man to help me sir.” “Sir, would like to go home whole today?” The Lord Jesus asked again.

“I like to go home healed but there are many who have more strength more than I; and before I can get there, they are already in the moving water. Honestly I do not know how I can make it, but I believe in the LORD, that my day will come one day as I have resolved to make this place my home until I am healed,” said the man with the palsy.

“When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well?’
The sick man answered Him, ‘Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.’
Jesus said to him, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk. And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed and walked.’ ” (John 5:6-9)

The Lord Jesus saw that the man had been there a long time. The Lord knows what you have been passing through and what you are currently encountering or that is challenging your faith in Him. Hold on to the Word of the Lord. He never fails.

Fix your eyes on Him. He is faithful. He is rewarder of them that diligently seeks Him. He knows your strength is small but He is your strength and refuge (Psalm 46:1). Only do not give up your faith.

Hannah had been going to Shiloh year after year, but a particular year she was so desperate for a breakthrough that almost everybody misunderstood her, including the priest who misinterpreted her heart cries for drunkenness. The bond of barrenness in her life and marriage was broken once and for all. She later had five children after Samuel, one of the great prophets in Israel. She was focused and desperate. She wanted not better food or wine but a man-child! She got more than one!

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

Jesus reached out and touched this man and that was the end and expiry of 38 years of suffering affliction. Indeed, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

I remember a true-life story of a minister of the gospel in my country, Nigeria. He came from a poor family. His family was so poor that poor people referred to his family as poor. For up to 16 years of his life, he did not even own a pair of shoes. Then, the time came when he was to go to high school.

MOSES AT MARAH Part 2

This week, I am bringing to readers of this blog the concluding part of Moses at Marah.

This is also from a chapter in the book coming out in July, 2008 titled HIS HELPING HANDS

You will be imparted and ignited as you read.

At this juncture, I will want you know to note this:

Fact is different from Truth.

This may sound illogical but

I am bold to say it is veritable. The fact about a situation

is different from the truth. In this situation, the fact is the

Israelites are in Marah where the water had all along been

bitter even before they got there. People who are nomads in

the wilderness would have had this knowledge before the

children of Israel crossed over the Red Sea. This is a fact!

This cannot be disputed by anyone. It is a fact.

However, the Truth came into the scene and caused a

change to be permanently recorded in history till today. I am

sure the people left a permanent, memorable and indelible

footprint in Marah. That which had been known as a fact was

indeed changed before their own very eyes. This is Truth in

action. What an awesome Almighty God we serve. This is

marvellous. The medical fact today says one thing but when

the Truth comes into the situation He reverses it and medical

specialists are bewildered. The Truth, Himself, is God of all

flesh!

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh.

Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah

32:27)

Moses had learnt in Egypt the art of crying out to

Jehovah!

He enacted this at Marah. He prayed to Yahweh in the

wilderness. Moses knew what God can do in the city, He can

also do in the forest or desert or wilderness. That is to say,

God is God of the mountains, valleys, as well as the plains.

God is not only omnipresent, omniscience and omnipotent

but Yahweh is also eternal, the Ever-living God!

We are very much in the age of high tech devices and

systems. All these are good for us, if we use them positively.

Alternatively, we can allow them to use us or even become

idols to us or our god. The choice is yours. God seeks our

fellowship more than anything else. Jesus told Martha in

Bethany:

“But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen

that good part, which will not be taken away from

her.” (Luke 10:42)

Moses learnt the art of choosing that good part. We need

to copy that today. We need to follow the footprints of those

who had gone ahead of us, especially those who triumphed

in the faith like Moses.

Moses called out to heaven and heaven was rent. Help

poured down. His helping hands were revealed in the Marah

situation in which God’s people found themselves on the

way to the promised land of milk and honey. Beloved, our

Father has promised us similar ‘milk and honey’ in our own

journey in this world to that heavenly Canaan land.

As they encountered their own Marah, we are surely to

encounter our own too. We must all be prepared. There is,

however, one joy before us even here on earth. Before the

battle begins we are assured of victory, as we remain steadfast

in Him.

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the

world. And this is the victory that has overcome

the world - our faith. Who is he who overcomes

the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the

Son of God?” (1 John 5:4-5)

On to our knees we must go and cry out when we find

ourselves in a Marah situation.

I mean we really need to pray as hard as we can. One

of my mentors says: If you pray well, you will live well. I

believe this with all of my heart.

I will end this chapter with a vivid testimony of a situation

I was personally involved in and how the art of crying

out revealed the Truth in a beloved sister’s life, and changed

her marriage forever.

10 YEARS BARRENESS BROKEN

I was in my office, just as any other day, at work in the

year 2000. One of my aides came to me and said there is

woman from another church in the city wanting to see me.

I gave permission for her to be let in. We were in Ibadan,

Nigeria, West Africa which is the second largest city in

Nigeria located in the South-western part of the country.

I was then priviledged to be the Senior Pastor of Christ

Life Church Headquarters popularly known in Nigeria as

Sword of the Spirit Ministries; the Presiding Bishop was

then Dr Francis Wale Oke. He is still the Presiding Bishop.

This woman began to reel out her story to me. It was really

a Marah-like situation.

She began thus:

“I was married ten years ago with the high expectation

of a newly married woman to have my own children.

I realised the journey to motherhood was not going to be

easy when after one year of marriage, there was still no child

forthcoming. There were instances when I took in for about

three weeks or so, all these led to miscarriages. I resulted to

consulting spiritualists and herbalists, and was ready to eat

and drink all kinds of medicines, some prepared in an unhygienic

manner just to get a child of my own.

After some years, as I found this was not working, I

switched over to consulting Islamic clerics. This also did

not work for me. In the midst of this saga, I gave my life

to Jesus Christ having been told all my problems would be

solved. I had high hopes after giving my life to Jesus Christ

believing now was the end of all my travails, as I was told

testimonies of many other people with similar cases to mine

or even worse.

Initially, my pastor and other brothers and sisters in the

church received me with joy. I was happy to get a family

outside my natural family that cared. I did not know this

would be short-lived. After a few years, my case seemed

to defy any solution, my ‘new found family’ began to react

negatively to me. Some of them even believed that I was an

agent of Satan in the church on evil assignment. It was so

tough for me.

“Why should this happen to me? I cried to God, more or

less complaining to God. I could not understand after a lot of

prayers, night and day, at times with fasting, yet it seemed as

if I would remain barren for life.

“After more than 9 years of marriage, I decided no more

fasting. I would live my life normally, and with no more high

hopes for a child of my own. So I purposed in my heart, not

knowing God had His own agenda for me. I believe He has

one for everyone else who trusts in Him too.

“Finally, one night came in my life and marriage that

was to be much remembered. I will never forget because of

how events later turned out to be. This memorable night I

had a dream. This was not just any dream. It was unusual.

I remember very well every detail of this dream. I immediately

knew I must act on this dream. This is what brought me

to your office.”

At this juncture, I just pitied her but I was helpless myself

as a pastor. I was asking myself: Who asked her to come to

my office? What do I do, Lord, in this situation? I imagined

myself being in her situation, childless for about 10 years

into my marriage!

I could see in Africa, especially where I came from in

Nigeria, what throe and agony, I and especially my wife

would have gone through from my extended family side. For

this is really very serious in Nigeria. A newly wedded wife is

normally told that she is not married to her husband only but

also to the rest of the extended family of her husband.

This is the tradition. Not that they can do such things

with her like sleeping with her but they do actually have a

measure of influence to make things difficult for her in her

home and marriage. Thank God for Christianity eroding this

unbiblical tradition. I did not know where to begin with her.

Then she continued again from where she stopped.

“I saw in my dream, a man who came to me and gave me

a word. He said: ‘Go to Christ Life Church and see the Senior

Pastor. Let him pray for you and stay within the church for 3

days and nights seeking My face. After this let him pray for

you again.’ This is my story”

I do not know what you are going through right now

that appears like Marah. I want to prophesy into your life, if

you believe, as you are reading this book, that my God will

change your story to a glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

By this time, the Holy Ghost has helped by flooding my

heart with light. I just wrote some scriptures in the Bible for

her to read, meditate and pray with. No prayer pointers, only

the Word of God! I mean, the infallible, Word of God, living

and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword (Heb

4:12).

“Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in

heaven.” (Psalm 119:89)

I, thereafter, prayed a simple prayer with her. I sent my

personal assistant to the Chief Security man over the ministry

premises called the Garden of Victory at Olaogun Old Ife

Road, Ibadan, Nigeria. I instructed him to personally make

sure everything went well with the woman sleeping in the

church, just to seek the face of the Lord, for three days and

nights. The woman was then led to the main sanctuary of the

church. At the end of the three days, I prayed simply with the

woman and sent her on her way home.

BITTER TO BETTER

It was a Shiloh experience for her without any visible

sign. She did not fall under the anointing as I prayed with

her. No shaking or goose bumps were felt or seen on her

body.

No spectacular vision or dream.

Obedience, indeed, is better than sacrifice. Beloved,

whatever the Lord is asking you to do this hour, just go

ahead to do it. Therein lies your rest. Obedience is a key to

entering your rest and getting that breakthrough you desperately

need.

At the end of three months, the same woman wanted to

see me. I ushered her in. She came in smiling. May God

turned your weeping to laughter in Jesus’ name. It made me

remember the Scripture that says:

“Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes

in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)

She recanted how after she missed her menstrual period,

as the manner of woman is, wanting to make sure all is well,

she went for a medical test where it was confirmed that she

was pregnant. Not much of a thing to celebrate because she

had had miscarriages on a few occasions. Then, she hid it for

3 months! Just like Hannah and Elizabeth in the Bible, when

the fullness of time came, at the end of nine months, she

brought forth a male child. God is good and faithful.

The God of wonders had done it again! I rejoiced with

her. We gave thanks to God who had turned this Marah to

sweetness like He did as Moses cried to Him at Marah.

In concluding this chapter, I want you to know that the

Almighty God is able to do much more that you can ever

ask or imagine. Moses prayed. He cried out! Are you ready

to cry out too? When you are in a Marah situation, it is not

a time to mumble your prayers. It is a time to cry out! Learn

to do it.

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly

above all that we ask or think, according to

the power that works in us.” (Eph 3:20)

I live in the beautiful city state of Singapore in South-east

Asia. I have located parks where I encountered God. I have

been with one of my friends in ministry, Pastor Chidi Ujubuonu

of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Singapore

to the highest point in Singapore called Bukit Timah Hill

to pray. Locate your own Mount of Olives or Gethsemane

as the Lord Jesus was wont to do when on earth. It was His

custom while here on earth to fellowship with His Father

regularly.

It is time to cry out to heaven. On to our knees like the

saints of old! The Throne of Grace is waiting to respond to

cries for release of grace and mercy.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who

has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of

God, let us hold fast

our confession. For we do not

have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with

our weaknesses, but was in all

points tempted

as

we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come

boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain

mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

(Hebrews 4:14-16)

Everyone of us should learn and master the art of crying out to the Lord!

Few minutes of crying out to the Lord could make a whole lot of difference

and could reverse a whole lot of negative tendency or consequence! It is high time,

we stopped running from pillar to post seeking human sympathy which can cause

murmuring, grumbling, complaining, fearing, fretting, worrying, etc.

Please drop your comments as you are blessed!

Yours in the name of Jesus Christ,
