Twin Brother of Prayers Explained

Prayers does not stand alone
It has a twin brother called thanksgiving.
No matter how well you pray
Thanksgiving must be in place for prayers to it place.
It is thanksgiving that pave way for prayers.

The problem with many of us is
We are too much in a hurry to pray down the promises without taking time to thank God for His blessings in our lives.
The depth of your thanksgiving determines the height of your prayer.
Prayer proceeding from ungrateful hearts is acidic.
Ingrates don't have a right to God's presence.
Many prayers are done outside the court because the people are shut out of God's presence

Enter His Gate With Thanksgiving,And Into His Court With Praise:Be Thankful Unto Him And Bless His Name.
             Psalm 100:4

God cannot stand ingratitude.
Whatever comes from ungrateful lips is always resisted by God.
This is the reason someone can be praying hard and things are getting harder.
Some folks complained and they were destroyed(1 Cor 10:10)
I have more thanksgiving points than prayer points.
The truth is,the more grateful you become,the less prayer points you have.

God will answer the wish of a thankful person than the cry of an ingrate
I don't feel bad over the things i don't have
I have never being intimidated by the blessings of God in the lives of others because i am overly obsessed with the ones He has done for me.
Thankfulness blinds you to ugliness.
People that see negativity everywhere are ingrates.
Grateful people see God in everything.
And,that is why,their prayer receives immediate attention.
Paul and Silas in the prison prayed and gave praises(Acts 16:25,26).
Their lives were in jeopardy but,they still had time to Praise God.
Don't allow satan corner you
Don't join the complainants club.
Become an addicted Praiser.
Be thankful for life.
Praise God from a grateful heart.
That is the secret of effective praying.

Be Careful For Nothing;But In Everything By Prayer And Supplication With THANKSGIVING Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God.
      Philippians 4:6

Morning Message of Motivation

The Blessings of Israel: The first two patriarchs Abraham and Isaac had blessed the next leaders of the family. Abraham had blessed Isaac and Isaac had blessed Jacob. They had also separated the blessed leader from his other siblings. Genesis 25:5-6a NKJV “And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son,” Abraham separated his other sons from Isaac, to ensure that the ensuing family would be purely from Isaac. Sarah had earlier insisted on the departure of Ishmael and Hagar his mother. Genesis 21:9-10 NKJV “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son;” Abraham was very sad about this but God sided with Sarah. Genesis 21:12 NIV “But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is

wisdom of Martin Luther

"Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen" Martin Luther, at the Diet of Worms, 1521. It has been 500 years since the birth of Protestantism by Martin Luther in 1517. His 95 thesis against the buying of indulgences, proclaiming salvation by faith alone (Roman 1:17), destroyed the tyrannical hold of the Papacy on the Christian world, and ushered in an age of spiritual renaissance. This publication in October 1517 marked the birth of the reformation and Protestantism and we should continue to protest against any unscriptural doctrine in the Christian church, that is what Luther stood for.

Choosing to Praise The Lord

Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .”” ‭‭ The world hassles us every day; I don’t have to tell you that. Our fears, anxieties, and hurts are very real. But if we focus only on these earthly problems, then very soon the spiritual realm becomes foggy and unreal. We lose sight of God and slide into pessimism and even depression. Life loses its joy and excitement. If we limit our thinking to this world alone, it will grind us down into the dust from which we were created. No matter how difficult or unjust our circumstances become, we can exercise our free will and choose to praise God rather than ignore Him. Praise has a strong emotional dimension—as we see in the Psalms—but it is not driven by emotions. Praise
