https://odb.org/2024/11/14/persist-in-praying Some may feel that when it comes to prayer, we just need to voice out our petitions and supplication. It’s more like a form of communication with God, although perhaps not so required as God knows all things, especially our heart. On the other hand, we have teachings from Christ on persistence in prayerContinue reading “Persistence in prayer”

Pray continually
https://odb.org/2024/10/29/pause-to-pray Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanksContinue reading “Pray continually”
Pray continually
https://odb.org/2024/10/11/pray-always As parents, we occasionally get that phone call from our sons telling us about the milestones in their lives. Like the day my elder son received his UK skilled worker visa after he and his employer each had invested substantial sums to apply for it. Or when my second son felt he had messedContinue reading “Pray continually”
Daniel
https://odb.org/2024/07/29/the-unseen-king Daniel was exiled in Babylon as a teenager like many Israelites at that time, after Jerusalem and Judah were overrun by the Babylonians. History repeated itself – like the patriarch Joseph, Daniel became advisers to kings of ancient civilisations, in his case, Babylon and Persia. Daniel was an adviser to 3 kings – Nebuchadnezzar,Continue reading “Daniel”
Prayer and its power
https://odb.org/2024/07/15/devoted-to-prayer As believers, we are taught from the start to pray. In fact, the first thing we do when we come to faith is to say or pray the sinner’s prayer. We speak to the Father in Heaven and seek His forgiveness as we confess our sins and acknowledge that we are sinners. We thenContinue reading “Prayer and its power”
The power of prayer
https://odb.org/2024/06/25/humble-j%c3%b8rn We know prayer can move mountains, and that prayer moves the hand of God. When we pray, something happens in the spiritual realm. Perhaps the physical manifestation may take time, but at least something is already moving in the heavens. That is why we pray that His will be done here on earth asContinue reading “The power of prayer”
Prayer and God
https://odb.org/2024/05/03/prayer-matters I think the example of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20 proves that prayers do move the hand of God. The LORD may do something out of ordinary when we pray, with the supernatural penetrating into the natural which should not, in the ordinary scheme of things, be a common occurrence. The world isContinue reading “Prayer and God”
Our spiritual battle
https://odb.org/2024/04/29/pray-and-watch Paul teaches in Ephesians 6:12 – For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. In other words, our real battle is not against human beings but against dark forces inContinue reading “Our spiritual battle”
The Valley of Berakah
https://odb.org/2024/04/19/the-valley-of-blessing-2 There will be times when we may face impossible situations like the people of Judah being confronted with invading armies much more powerful than them. Instead of requiring them to be like the brave Spartans of ancient history, God intervened and caused confusion between the invading armies that they fought with one another andContinue reading “The Valley of Berakah”
Habit of prayer
https://odb.org/2024/02/19/prompted-to-pray-2 I have heard before of testimonials by believers experiencing supernatural interventions in their lives in the form of a good Samaritan suddenly appearing out of practically nowhere to extend help. As suddenly as the help appeared, that person sort of vanished into the crowd, never to be found again. These believers later found outContinue reading “Habit of prayer”
