The Shortest, Most Effective Prayer

  James 2:19, Philippians 2:10-11

Before I started blogging, I knew the devil didn’t want me to because he was afraid of its potentials and my desire to save souls through writing. He haunted me with fear which caused me to delay the project.

Finally, I decided to start off the next day. So, before I went to sleep, I checked on the posts that were ready for publishing, said my prayers and went to bed with my brother by the side.


While asleep, I felt a presence, very evil, in the room and the next thing I knew, it pinned me down on the bed and disabled all forms of movement even breathing. I tried calling out to my brother but the words only stayed in my head; unable to speak a word. I thought to myself that he could help me but I remembered that it is only Jesus that saves! Then I started calling on the name of Jesus Christ repeatedly. From my head, it moved down to my throat and out! As soon as I said it out loud, I got control of my body and was loosed!


Many times the devil will most assuredly creep into our lives with FEAR. The only weapon he has and knows how to use along with deceit which also stems out of fear. The fear of failure, lack of pleasure, loneliness, poverty, sin itself, God (that He won’t forgive) and so many others. But we are not to cower in fear for he has already been defeated and fights in fear but in vain.

JESUS settled it once and for all and at the mention of His name every plot fails, every attack ceases and every evil flees. When Smith Wigglesworth was to pray for a sick man, all he and his team prayed was ‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus…’ And even till today that prayer still works!


When words fail you and everything seems to be turning to a dead end… Just remember the shortest, most powerful name on Earth, ‘JESUS’!

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
