Prayer is not asking for what you think you want,

but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine.


Kathleen Norris

Hi everybody in the house,my tests so far have been good,and I am trusting God for good results though I still have two tests more.Thanks for the prayers on success,I really appreciate it.May God bless you.
Sometimes ago,I sent a prayer request concerning a brother who is seeking God for a life partner,now he is in love with a fervent lady,but someone told him that he is into a wrong relationship which can destroy his ministry.And he has been seeking God for a confirmation of the vision the person told him but somehow God is not speaking,I have joined him in prayers to but its like God is not saying anything even to me.He dosen't want to miss it maritally so I want you to pray for God's leading and guidance in his marital life,and that God should make suituations go against him if he is into a wrong relationship.
Thanks so much for the prayers.Talk to you later-maybe after my tests.

@Lamdec

May the LORD direct him right. And may he be patient for God's directions as well. He needs to investigate properly.
Look before you leap!!!!

You put the devil out, but you let him leave his bags.

Never quite looked at it like this before,

You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad,
but you are still resentful and angry.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You got out of financial debt, but you still can't control
the desire to spend on frivolous things.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You got out of a bad habit or addiction,
but you still long to try it just one more time.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You said, I forgive you, but you can't seem to forget
and have peace with that person.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over,
but you still continue to call.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you're still
trying to sabotage the company after you've left.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You cut off the affair with that married man/woman,
but you still lust after him/her.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You broke off your relationship with that hurtful, abusive
person, but you are suspicious and distrusting of every new
person you meet.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You decided to let go of the past hurts from growing up in an
unstable family environment, yet you believe you are unworthy of
love from others, and you refuse to get attached to anyone.
You let the devil leave his bags.

When you put the devil out, please make sure he takes his bags.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, factual piece!!!
Nice weekend.

I don't know if this article should be self-addressed but i see the need to pass it on. . . .

Of a truth, God works in "mysterious" way!, He works in ways we least expect and oftentimes in ways contrary to our human opinion. So don't get discouraged when it seems you don't get what you requested for. . . . be rest assured that as you pray and have faith, He'll give it to you at the APPROPRIATE hour, (highest praise level). I can testify once again to this.

Atimes, we are tempted to move faster than Him, because His pace is "slower" than our expectation. Please, don't rush Him, for He understands your need and feels you most. Be assured that He is working for your good, So, Hold On! Be Strong, Be Bold. . . regardless of your present challenges, sorrow, tears, storm etc. He is aware.

. . . .and sooner than you know, He shall turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into JOY. 

Hold On,

A Song By T.D Jakes.
I have listened to you, I heard you request,
I've come to tell you that it's only a test;
just hold on though your storm be strong,
just hold on, this test is your storm,
but it won't be long, go through, hold on.

So your daughter won't hear you,
your son could care less,
seems they've done all to hurt you, but it's only a test;
just hold on trough your storm be strong,
and hold on, this test is your storm,
but it won't last long, go through, hold on.

Chorus
(Don't you know the darkest time in your life is)
just before the break of dawn.
(All your battles I will fight if you just)
just hold on, hold on, hold on.

Your tears have been plenty in the still of the night,
You've prayed, now your empty just to weak to fight.
Just hold on through your storm, be strong and hold on,
this test is your storm, but it won't be long,
go through, hold on.

You say you've been wounded,
you've given your best,
you've been misunderstood, but it's only a test,
(This test is your storm),
(it won't be long, go through, hold on).

Vamp 1
I'm able to deliver,
hold on, hold on

Vamp 2
I'm able, I can help you,
hold on, hold on.

Vamp 3
I'm able, I can heal you,
hold on, hold on

Vamp 4
Hold on

Vamp 5
Never the less,
it's only a test, hold on.

Ending
I have listened to you, I heard you request,
I've come to tell you that it's only a test;
just hold on though your storm be strong,
just hold on, this test is your storm,
but it won't be long, go through, hold on.

Good day God's people, How has your day been?
Last year, you joined me to pray for a car, i thank God for it. The way i got the car remains a testimony till today.

Please, join me this time in prayer as i search for new and bigger accomodation.

Believe God with me for financial favour; ^{the prizes are killing} Good location, peaceful landlord & neighbours.

A place we can worship and serve God. 

A bethel!!! 

Good day to all our wonderful member of this forum, Please pary with me for my brother that will be going for a JOB INTERVIEW with UBA BANk this morning, that our GOOD GOD should favour him in Jesus Name Amen.

While crossing the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by
a truck and dies. His
soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is
a problem. We have never had a high official around these parts, you see, so
we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Member of
Parliament.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St.Peter escorts him to
the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In
the distance is a clubhouse and
standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had
worked with him.

Everyone is shaking his hand, and reminiscing about the good times they had
while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who
has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time
that before he realizes it, it is time to go.


Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises to
heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving
from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time
and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful,
but I think I would be better off in hell with all of my friends."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,
picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from
above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning,
Today you voted".

hello everyone!!!

I missed you guys, thank God I am back and back for good.

I am also happy that the love of God, alongside His grace, is growing stronger everyday in this thread!

I see God smiling at the good work going on here

I see Him waiting patiently (maybe anxiously) for the next prayer point (so He will speedily answer)

I see Him speaking to us: thought-provoking and heart-stopping words through His children on this thread
(thanks femib26 & Olowotee for all those words: they revived me!)

Thereby blessing our lives daily!

HOW I MISSED U GUYS!!!

But want to specially appreciate Olowotee for her heart-melting concern, care and love!

I know you were more worried when my line wasnt going thru

God used u to give me strength at the time I needed it the most

U may not know the extent you have gone and done but God knows & He will surely reward

@everyone
God loves us more than we can ever imagine or think

He wants the best for us and sincerely wants us to experience the joy that He gives

The Joy that can only come with consistent, growing relationship with Him.

Let's continue in this love: IT GLADENS HIS HEART!!! (and dont forget His Joy is our what?, Strength)

Yes o! It comes back to us as immense, unimaginable strength; exhibited in every aspect of our being!
(Revitalizing the weak and dead parts!)

It is well for as many that believe in God for answers. He will do them at the perfect time

Start celebrating and thanking Him for answers to your prayers.

kORO 2, You were greatly missed.

@Olaadegbu

Prayer request for all atheists, agnostics and unbelievers that the Lord would open their eyes so that they can see, hear and perceive what the Lord has prepared for them.  Pray also, for the peace of Jerusalem, that they may see Jesus as their Messiah and that they would be protected from the enemies that surrounds them.

_{Pls where is Weebee, Hamabra, Uchetobi etcccccccccc?? .we are missing you greatly}

This is an emergency. My sister was detained in Panti because of a business that was gone awry. The person involved is a police officer and she's using her powers to do it. Please help me pray for her release. I have been praying about the business because there were some problems. I didn't know it will come to this. Please pray that she's unharmed, I hear the place is for hardened criminals. Pray God to strenghten her at this time, that her spirit will not be broken. Pray that the woman involved has a change of heart and gives her time to repay the money she owes.
Thank you.

Thanks femib26 & Olowotee. I'm happy to be back too.

@annamaria

Be by her side all through this hard time, protect her from all evil and favor her immensely. Let it be that she will be released soon and be given enough time to repay the money. We thank You becos we know You have answered our prayers according to Your will.


@everyone
Join me to thank God for delivering my sister (the one that got married in January) from armed robbery attack at Ore yesterday. She travelled to see her in-laws and my mum; on her way back she was attacked. She ran into the bush with some others as they (robbers) were shooting. God saved my family from sorrow as she only had slight bruises but didnt loose anyof her belongings.

The LORD God Almighty be praised now and forever more!!! For His eyes are always on His beloved and He will never forsake them or let them be hurt. My Father is just too good!

Koro 2, what of my own prayer point? _{JUST GISTING}

May He answer our prayers in the name of His Son, JESUS CHRIST.

Lets pray:

Bismilahi Rahmani Raheem
Al-amdulilahi robul alameen
Ar-rahmani raheem
Maliki yaomi deen
iyaa ka na habudu, ya iya ka nostahin

amin. . . amen. . .

Thank u

Tattooboy, you are probably in the wrong room.

But you are invited if you will speak the language we all know,JESUS.

Please, note that am not inviting you into a religious activity but, a way of life.

You are welcome!!! You won't regret it.

Baby girl, you are welcome.

Here, we pray,and He answers.

In the public hospital of Itaguaí (RJ) last weekend
was born a girl with hands joined together, like one
who's praying.

The doctors told the parents that they would operate
the hands of that girl, and that they would give her
antistatic.
The operation was easy because it seemed
like the hands were simple glued together one membrane
(skin) layer apart.

When they opened up the hand of that child, you can't
imagine what was written,

JESUS IS COMING BACK, The doctors started weeping and
all that were in the hospital.

The suburb of Itaguaí is undergoing a movement now,
People that have withdrawn from church are going back
and others are receiving Jesus Christ as the only
savior.
God send that child simply to convey that message.
After a few hours she died: JESUS IS COMING BACK

I have received now I'm passing on!!!

The Lord of Lords is coming back.
"Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call you
upon Him while He is near:" Isaiah 55:6

@Lamdec

Thanks so much for the prayers.Talk to you later-maybe after my tests.

Please add this to our prayer points.

My friend's fiance is undergoing a surgical operation today
Let's commit him into God's hands and pray for its success.
And that God will take control of the surgery and nullify every plans of the enemy.
Dat he will recover fast and continue his work soonest.

Hi everyone in the house,hope everything has been ok.Thanks olowotee,my test so far has been good but all have been because of his grace.My last test has been postponed because of the ASUU strike till Monday.
Iyawo,why nit try something practical,the devil is just trying to deprive you of your right with God.Why not say this,"I have been redeemed and translated from darkness through the son to his marvelous light,so therefore,you devil do not have any right over me.I am born of God,I am his child so I have the right to talk to him so nothing can and will stop me."
If you can speak in tongues,why not try that and keep saying this aloud,do not hum it,let the devil hear you,ok.Then you can start by thanking God for his deeds,say everything you think he has done for you,ask for the forgiveness of your sins,and the pray for yourself yourself,your siblings,your friends and gradually you see that have more things to pray about.God will help you.

the Bible actually says where two or more are gathered He is there in our midst

How about praising God . . . .? For the prayers answered and those yet to receive answers. Truly, He's been good and faithful to His words. Hence, with one heart and one voice let us bless His Holy and exalt Him saying: YOU ALONE ART WORTHY OH LORD.

Joining hands with the Katinas we say "Thank You Lord"


Thank You! Song by the Katinas

Just a little while longer I want to pray
Can't get You off my mind so I came to say
Thank You Lord, just for loving me, alright
Many times I do forget
Every need that You have met
Oh thank You Lord, I know You're showing me
You are there when I am down and out
You're holding me, Your love is so amazing
Oh it changed me

CHORUS
Here I am with all I have
Raise my hands to worship You
I want to say thank you, oh thank you
For everything, for who You are
You cover me, You touch my heart
I want to say thank you

I could have died in my sin but You saved me
Didn't have any hope at all
You gave me peace divine, strength to carry on
I should have been the one to pay
But instead You took my place
Amazing grace, it's more than just a song
Even though I don't deserve Your love for me
You look beyond my fault and You showed me mercy

CHORUS

I want to say thank you for the sun
Lord we thank you for the rain
Thank you for the love You gave

@olowo tee,
Thanks for the song. How are you? hope it was a nice weekend?
