December 16, 2015 Today's reading: Amos 4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. Nehemiah 2:4-5 A hurried, secret prayer Nehemiah had received reports of the Land of Judah at the court of the king of Persia. Jerusalem still lay waste. Nehemiah brought the trouble he felt before "the God of heaven". He loved Jerusalem with all his heart and wished to rebuild the city of God. But as the king's cupbearer, he needed the monarch's permission and authority. After a period of fasting and prayer, Nehemiah suddenly had the opportunity to mention the matter before that great king Artaxerxes. Yet strangely enough, in the midst of the conservation, he prayed to the God of heaven. It can only have been a very brief prayer, for the conservation continued immediately. It was simply a hurried, secret prayer that reveals how conscious Nehemiah was to his dependence on God and His guidance and help. The king will have noticed nothing of the prayer but God heard it, as Nehemiah was well aware: so he took courage and felt free to tell the king of his concern. He then saw how God directed the king's heart, so that his request was granted. The practice of praying regularly is good and necessary, in the morning and evening or even three times a day, as Daniel did (cf. )If we seek God's presence and His guidance for our life, then we shall also feel free to pray quickly and briefly in emergencies and other particular circumstances, and like Nehemiah we shall experience encouragement from our God and Father. |

To be broken is to have some form of injury that makes the object less than a whole. In spiritual parlance, it is to break or subdue the flesh in order to be more profitable to the kingdom of God. Why do you need to be broken?...More |
Open Heavens for Saturday, March 15, 2014 by Pastor E.A Adeboye DELIVERANCE: DIVINE ASSURANCE When God speaks, that settles it. He reigns forever. When He gives a decree, it is forever. When He says "surely", it means surely. When He says surely, it will be well with me, nobody can change it. He says surely, by His stripes I am healed, and nobody can change this. He says surely, everything I do shall...More |
