PRAYER: FINDING OUR WAY BACK TO GOD.
I am currently working on my second book "PRAYER: FINDING OUR WAY BACK TO GOD."
I will gladly receive your input on what prayer means to you.
To me prayer is simply communication between man and God. It is the means by which we request the assistance of God in our day to day life.
Note that prayer is not a resignation from human responsibility; prayer is actually an active involvement in life and being responsible as humans. We watch and pray, in other words, whilst praying, we are still alert!
When David returned from war, his camp has been ransacked by the enemy. See what he did.
Bless you. I will be looking out for your insights on prayer.

- They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon (Nehemiah 4:17)
When David returned from war, his camp has been ransacked by the enemy. See what he did.
- And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him , Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
- So David went (1 Samuel 30:8-9a)
Bless you. I will be looking out for your insights on prayer.
LEADERSHIP MEANS CHANGE
CHANGE!
The first effect of leadership is CHANGE and everyone that aspires leadership should first and foremost CHANGE themselves.
"You must be born again(Change)"- Jesus Christ
"...no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth
burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be
marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles."- Jesus Christ
"To move the world we must first move ourselves" -Socrates
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world."- Ghandi
"At long last the battle is ended. And thus Ghana, your beloved country
is free forever…We must change our attitudes and our minds. We must
realise that from now on, we are no more a colonial but a free and
independent people….help me reshape the destiny of this country" Kwame
Nkrumah
Desiring to "change" the world without first changing
ourselves is a non-starter. It will be hypocrisy to attempt to influence
your world, when you have not 'put your house in order'. 1 am not
proposing perfection, but I am asking for a basic principle of first
removing the TIMBER in our eyes before attempting to remove the STICK in
your brothers eyes.
This week, sit back look at your life and make the necessary changes and adjustments that needs to be made.
"An unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates
Lets start the change process with ourselves. Myself and Theo actually carry a
personal prophecy for our lives and will
want to share with you to encourage open yourself up for change. He
said:
"As the word change spreads across the world, so am I
bringing change into the lives of my people, so they will be relevant
and able handle the change that is occuring in the world."
We dont know what burns in your heart, but for us, we want to live to our
full potential. So we have have opened ourselves up for change. Are you ready?
YOU NEED TO FIRST CHANGE.
