power of prayer

was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “God will dare not appear to a hungry man except in the form of bread". In other words, it means God appears to people relative to what they need per time. Relative to their situations and circumstances and if you read through scriptures you will find this to be...

The depth of the early church contrasts the superficiality of the modern church! The depth of the early church never ceases to amaze me: as soon as persecution came it was not an opportunity for them to take shield, rather they took heed to the words of the master and spread the gospel like...

Every move of God is birthed and sustained in the place of prayers Before the showers came in Acts 2 the Apostles we were told lingered for many nights in the place of prayer. They waited until they were anointed. The scriptures records, 'These all continued with one accord in prayer and...

One of Paul's important prayer themes in the epistles was the prayer for strength. Apart from Ephesians 1:17-20 where Paul prayed for revelations and spirit of wisdom, the other prayers of Paul that seems to carry such power and import among believers today can be found in Ephesians 3:14-16...

What defines the identity of God's kingdom on the earth is not words, but the power of God, "for the kingdom of God is not in words but in power"(1 Corinthians 4:20). Power not grammar is what defines the identity of the church and makes it command the attention of the world! In Acts 1:14 we...

There are times when Paul likes to make his boasts in the Lord. Remember this same Apostle was the one that wrote that we are the generation that 'has no confidence in the flesh'. In Romans 9:16 he revealed how utterly helpless we are without the help of God. He pointed out succinctly, "It is...

The first recorded acts of Paul immediately after he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus was recorded in Acts 9:11, '"Go and inquire for one called Saul of Tarsus; for, behold, he prayeth." This was where Paul began his journey, on his knees, on his knees he conquered the field. On his...
