P R A Y I N G – A M I S S Praying amiss or praying wrongly is misplacing priorities or order of precedence in prayer. When we are praying but fail to follow the order of precedence or we misplace priorities of prayer, it means we are praying amiss. A Christian can be praying day and night, praying and fasting and yet always fall back into sin; because he fails to pray it right. In the Bible, Jesus Christ gave us prototype, example of general order of prayer; it is called Our Lord’s Prayer. This prayer lays priorities and precedence of prayer orderly. Matthew 6:8, “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. ...

HAVE YOU BEEN TO GETHSEMANE? Have you ever visited Gethsemane recently? It’s inspiring and very refreshing there. There is no other place on earth as pleasant and peaceful as this wonderful place called Gethsemane. The Gethsemane in topic here is not a country, state or a street; it’s not a church or physical place. It’s a spiritual place that every serious minded Christian and every one who cares to make heaven must be visiting as the situation demands. Gethsemane is a place where you surrender your struggles unto God and receive strength in return to see you through in your onward journey to eternal life. It’s a point where you surrender your ways, your wills, your wish and your wants to God and you accept His will and word into your life. No pretense, struggle is natural and human, it was applicable to Jesus Christ likewise during His earthly ministration as He was about to move forward to Calvary for the work of redemption. At Gethsemane, He did not only expressed His struggle ...

MOSES’ STRIKING When the children of Israel complained of thirsty in the wilderness the second time, God told Moses to speak to the rock before their eyes, Numbers 20:8. But instead, Moses disobeyed and struck the rock. Yet God answered and provided the water immediately, in fact that the water came out abundantly did not imply God was pleased with Moses’ disobedience, and the fact that Moses disobeyed God did not stop God from performing miracle through him. Numbers 20:7, 8, “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” Numbers 20:11, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.” As a person, you can be displeasing God, doing things that are...

REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE 1 Kings 18:30, “Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.”So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.” Before you can experience the manifestation of God in your life, and before there can be fire of revival in your life, ministry and church, there is need to repair the altar of God in your life. The altar of God in our lives is the level of our commitment, consecration and separation unto God – the center of our attention and priorities. We need to totally reconsecrate, recommit ourselves to God in repentance from all sins and to holiness; we need to separate ourselves from ungodliness, worldliness, compromise and care of this world. To repair the altar, the first thing to do is REPENTANCE. 2 Chronicles7:14, “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive th...
