20 QUOTES ON PRAYER


‘No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.’-E.M Bounds

‘Heaven is full of answers to prayer for which no one bothered to ask.’- Billy Graham

‘…True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a  fine oration of great length.’- C.H Spurgeon

‘Prayer is not learned in the classroom but in the closet.’- E.M Bounds

‘I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.’- James Hudson Taylor

‘If Christians spent as much time praying as they do grumbling, they would soon have nothing to grumble about.’- Anonymous

‘Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.’- Joyce Meyer

‘Prayer is a man’s greatest power!’- W. Clement Stone

‘In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer.  Sometimes, my prayer was ‘help me’. Sometimes my prayer was ‘thank you’. What I’ve discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.’- Iyanla Vanzant

‘Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.’- Oswald Chambers

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...
