The perfection in 7!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth......................And the evening and the morning were the first day. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2: 2-3

Psalms 6:9 (KJV)
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

Romans 12:12 (KJV)
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Psalms 66:19 (KJV)
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Joshua 6:15 (KJV)
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

The word says that God blessed the 7th day. As we celebrate seven (7) years we ask that you join us on the seventh day of the seventh month in this 7th year of obedience to Christ's command to "spread the gospel" as we have 7 hours of prayer.

The Praying Mother

Happy Mothers' Day!!!!

Today as we celebrate Mothers' Day in Trinity House we take a glimpse into the life of the praying mother. In proverbs 31 the praying mother is referred to as the virtuous woman.

The prayers of a mother is never done. From the start of the day to the end of the day the mother is praying for her child. From the first day of conception, to the time of birth, to the first word, first day in school, first day at the university, first sojourn out of the home the mother is praying.

A praying mother prays all the time; when she is seating, standing, making the meal in the kitchen, sending her children out for the first time, handing them over to their husbands, or checking out if the girl would take good care of her son a praying mother is always praying.

A praying mother will forgive an offence even before her child thinks of committing the offence. This is why a mother is refined from a finished product.

We celebrate our mothers as they pray for us every day that we have them with us!!

The Power of Prayer

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Matthew 6: 6 KJV

For every child of God prayer is a way of life. It is as important to us as much as breathing is to life. However, our prayer must be with the simplicity of heart and mind.  Our Lord and best friend, Jesus Christ, enjoins us that when we pray we must do so in secret so that our Father who sees what is in secret may reward us openly. Praying in secret doesn't mean hiding somewhere that nobody sees you, going to the mountain top; praying in secret means having the right attitude to prayer. 

We are to pray with a concentration that connects us directly with God. Prayer is an action, something that needs to be done with ease and no pretense. 

Prayer is that way that man makes contact with God. It is expected that as children of God we make contact with God on a regular basis. Just like power flows through a lamp holder to bring the illumination that gives light through a bulb; the same way prayer is the sock through with our communication flows through to connect with God to result in miracles and breakthrough. 

1 Kings 18 tells us about the prophet Elijah and his prayer. He prayed that there be no rain and it was so, after 3 years he prayed that there be rain and the rain came. God gave us the power to rule, Jesus gave us authority over demons and said whatsoever we decree on earth shall be decreed in heaven. This power from God and authority from Jesus can only be manifest through prayer that brings a resultant effect. For to be successful in prayer we must pray using the word of God. When we pray, we must remind God of his word concerning us.

When we pray, we must pray with understanding; first standing on the word of God in faith believing that our prayer is answered. Prayer must come from a heart and soul that is humble and without guile. When we pray we must do so with authority not in fear or doubt begging and pleading but in faith with the belief that what we ask we shall receive.
