Lets discuss the Bible

Therefore I say unto you, whatsoever you desire, when you pray , believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. (Mark 11:24, emphasis added ) Ever wondered why on many occasions, we don’t experience what the above verse says? It kept me wondering, when we close our eyes in prayer, do we really pray or we just have a call-and-response session with the prayer leader, because many-a-times we are accustomed to the regular response of ‘Amen’ after a statement has been made, but this shouldn’t be.  How then do we differentiate prayer from a mere communication, Praying isn’t merely talking instead it should be a connection of hearts, an alignment of wills between the sender and the receiver, or better put communion . OK, the word communion has a Greek root which is Koinonia , and this can be translated into 7 English words; Presence, fellowship, sharing together, participation with, intimacy, friendship and communion.

Ever wondered why, at times, you ask for things from God with faith in your heart, and yet it seems like God doesn’t move to answer, or other times when you receive - with great enthusiasm and expectation - God’s promises and they don’t seem forthcoming.

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. - James 2:17 So many Biblical illustrations can explain this. - Jesus Christ, our great example showed this in the feedi

Good Day Friends trust you are doing good? Was just checking through the list of nominations during an awards ceremony recently, I came across this category that startled me a bit and somewhat made me laugh, ‘Gospel Song of the Year’. This though wasn’t my first time of seeing this, but it rather jumped out of the page this particular time. Then the question popped up in me that what exactly qualifies a song to win this award? Now, the Life of a Christian should be one of worship, and one way through which a man can be led into worship is through songs, it’s a tool given to man by God to serve as a channel leading us into worship and filling the thought of man with that of God. Knowing this, is it now that the recipient of the award is that song that leads men into worship faster or the one that gets us into a deeper realm of worship? I don’t just get it.  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
