1 John 5:15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have petitions we have asked of Him." Prayer is the most beautiful gift from above It is our weapon in times of danger, Our way out in times of trouble It has the power to change the atmosphere... And even for no reason at all let us utilize prayer to talk to the Father, To give Him thanks, to give Him praise and to give Him honor. He loves hearing from us like a parent waiting for a random call or sweet text from their children. It is a way for us to bond with Him, it need not be long it can only be a few words, a few minutes but certainly He loves to hear from us. It is normal for us to call to the Father when we have needs and problems; and sometimes answers do not immediately come and we get frustrated. This is understandable but the ways of the Lord is higher than our ways. His knowledge and understanding is above our human capacity. When our prayer requests are not ...

Living in a world diversified by so many languages, different cultures and beliefs it is a great challenge to speak a universal language which will be understood by everyone regardless of ethnicity or race. But there is one way that can bridge all diversities, binding us together showing that we are all children of the Father, this is the universal language of kindness.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another will all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the spirit , singing to...

God is LOVE. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us. He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is LOVE. Not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice. for our sins. Since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is LOVE. Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment. In this world we are like Jesus. There is NO FEAR IN LOVE. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fear is not...
