WHAT a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh,what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He"ll take and shield thee
Thou wilt found a solace there.
Joseph Scriven
Hallelujah,i am writing and reflecting on moods today on this blog.Many of us do carry different moods on our faces at various times in the day.Our thinking, fears,anxieties,hopes,desires,name it,name it are too many aren't they? Sometimes we have clogs all over our moods, feeling all is not well.Tied to the bed, we keep musing and musing over a particular issue.Let me call it the Rich Man's syndrome!!
We all have it and are all suffering from it,born rich or poor, now rich or poor,we have the syndrome's to wet our moods,our thoughts.Thoughts have soften some people as a pulp.Their moods have grounded their countenances.They are mixed up.If you asked for their head they would give you their thighs.When you happen to know what they are thinking you are in soup.They have been born, born, born, born several times.Today they are high with hopes.The other day they are looking as the poor Samaritan,they feels helpless..
Tell me who has not fall into this kind of shoes before? You must have seen your sizes there? Perhaps it is now too big for your shoes or your legs are now too big? Hope as you read you are getting what i am trying to say.here?
The fear of future has soaked many of us.We are so much afraid of the future.Out of fear many consult horoscopes,i mean out of uncertainty.When the future is uncertain and you can't pray you ''ll probably resort into other avenues like Horoscopes to determine days ahead of you!!
Many are caged.Many feared herbalist like God.To them the fear of the herbalist's revelations is the beginning of their wisdom.They can give anything for divination.They are spiritually dead in Christ.Some just go to church for the sake of it.They trust herbalist than Jesus.Others might have tried Jesus for a couple of times but have met deadlock.No solution. They are fed up.Some have even been duped by pastors.Doctors have milked many people's fortunes.Some are thinking to attempt suicide in other to end all their problems.
There are thousands living-dead people.They are plagued by the devil,he has infested their homes.Many believed they can never make it in life.Some are thinking it is too late.Some accused others of their predicaments.They fingered their mothers as witch behind their problems.Parents blamed themselves for having too much mouths to feed when the bible said children are the heritage of God.
Some are been haunted by the past.Many are too careless about their lives issues.Some just make decisions,any decisions they made is final,.they can't see the road ,hence they have resorted into making decision any how.They jumped even when there is no pit before them.
All these are life's painful experiences, but in the absence of prayers.I wish you know prayers will dismantle all your problems provided you pray and pray to God only.Have you tried prayers and failed.Check your methods.Ask yourself how did i pray and why is my prayers unanswered? These pastors,brothers and sisters' prayers were always answered but not mine.Why? Why all these days?Think that way.
Be genuine with yourselves or else your problems persists. I don't know how to lie.I pray that right away as you read and connect with faith ,obedience and making necessary reconciliation with God and God only, your prayers shall be answered.Don't fear because the devil is going to come into your mind and threatened hell against you, should you pray.Pray in brokenness of mind.Ensure you are broken before God.That's an effective solution against your problems.
Come closer to Jesus.Make friendship with him.Obey his commandments.For he said "My friend you are indeed, if you do all that i command you to do".Your prayers will be answered.Practice Holiness in and out, it is your greatest weapon.You are very strong if you are holy.Devil will accuse you but pray.Pray, praise God,confess to God all your hidden sins and every known sins.Pray for God's help and surely his help shall come to rescue you from all your fears and pains in this life and give you hope of eternity.
There are listeners but not like Jesus and his people.Who will hear you like Jesus? Is it the devil who knows he is going to hell that will help and solve your problems for you ? Devil never solve problems he complicated them.Love Jesus now than ever.Give your life to Him and surrender your whole-self to him and he shall do more than all i could say in your life.Believe in his power.There is no problem he can't overcome. He can solve all problems.Nothing is too high for Jesus my Lord to bring down and nothing is too small for him to elevate.There is neither any stronghold he can't enter nor destroy.Then why are you doubting or fearing Call on him now with faithful heart and he shall answer your prayers.His friendship lasted into eternity.If you keep up with your parts,Jesus is forever faithful to his promises.He once said "He that come unto me ,i will in no wise cast away".Did you hear that? The Lord shall not cast away.Trust Him .Rely on Him that your peace shall not be forfeited any more.Whatever you need ,i see a friend near you telling you that "i can provide them" and that friend is Jesus.Jesus is a wonderful Friend.Believe me.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING
1."THERE shall be showers of blessing".
This is the promise of God
There shall be season refreshing
Sent from the saviour above
Show...ers of blessings,
Showers of blessings we need,
Mercy drops round are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 "There shall be showers of blessing".
Precious reviving again,
Over the hills and the valleys
Sound of abundance of rain.
3 "There shall be showers of blessing".
Send them upon us O Lord
Grant to us now a refreshing
Come now and honour Thy Word.
4 "There shall be showers of blessing".
Oh that to-day they might fall
Now, as to God, we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
5 "There shall be showers of blessing".
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be season refreshing
If we let God has his way.
The blessings of the Lord he added no sorrow.When the Lord blesses he do at the right time.Many in the world never wait on God's timing.They seek out for their own way.I have this notion in me that "any way other than God's proceed only from none other than the devil"
The Lord is blessing.In his blessing is Yea and Amen.Yes we need to call on him all times for this showers whenever we want.Showers is our want but the Lord God daily loads us with drops of mercy.The necessity is there,however those who ask their want shall be granted.There shall be showers of blessings only if you ask.
True blessings must meet true mind.Have you purge yourselves?When we are talking of Spiritual blessings,there must be a prepared mind.The refreshing power of God will only come on minds that has prepared,whose sins have been forgiven and who are trusting and obeying.My brothers and sisters you can only do all these by prayers.Pray.
Spiritual blessings precedes every other blessings.When you are blessed Spiritually God's material blessings do follow that bring no sorrow.I see you there in Jesus name.This is for next week.Enjoy it as from now!This is a wonderful hymn from El Nathan.

Sweet Hour Of Prayer
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"
Honestly this triggers my zeal for this blog.
I wonder what's happening, this is just the second month of the year.It's like i am in the mood of no writing but i am not going to quit.Devil is a liar!!
Brethren and my fellow ones who loves writing,Prayer is the key.
When you are not in the mood to write and you know you ought to have written some pages on your books,get on your knees and pray.Prayer intervenes than any strong man!.
We have lots and lots that could makes one go wild if we don't submit them in form of petitions to God.Enemies will keep taunting us if we refuse to pray!Prayer opens doors.As a youth, i am in need of a woman.I have observed that mere thinking will not do it.Marriage transcends thinking and thoughts receive from outside.The key to a successful marriage is prayer.When you pray you will have revelations and directions from God, the painful parts of this however is that your findings through prayers may contradict with your thoughts.
I have lots of headache through marital issues.I have thoughts that provoke me myself,sometimes i felt sorry for myself for i do sit down thinking for hours on a particular lady.I do compare ladies i come across.I am easily put off.They never met my spiritual standards.The more i think the farther i get.The more i choose myself the more i hate marriage.I am disappointed.I have given it over to God.I have been praying.I have been getting results.Things are getting through.
What i am saying in essence is that Prayer offloads problems cares and anxieties.There are lots of temptations that prayers get off ones mind.Prayer will make you do away with sin.If you are prayerful,you get off the tempter snares because you will not want sin to block your prayers from been answered.The Bible said in Isaiah 59:1 & 2 that God has not received so many people prayers by virtue of their sins.Their prayers were bitter,vain and insincere.God help us.
Prayer is sweet.Prayer is challenging but don't see it as a task not worth it.Prayer worth than our golden thoughts.A fool who pray and a man who think he is wise will be differentiate by their products.I am not saying to think wise is evil.Wisdom is the principal thing but through prayers.Praying in wisdom is the best.God is ready to bless our efforts,provided we seek him,believe his words, trust in his grace and wait for the next sweet hour of prayer.God is faithful.God will help.God will give the right match provided we call on him in truth.God will seek your right match any where in the world.Keep praying.Pray for me That God's will may come to pass.
When we Pray about eternity he hears.When we hope for his returns he don't disappoint,for he hastens his arrival now than ever.I know Prayer nowadays require strength,you can go extra miles.Don't use alarm watch to pray.Prayer requires no timing.Pray always without ceasing,while at work pray over whatever burdens your heart and the God of love shall answer you.
That calls me from a world of care,

My Hope is built on nothing less
1. My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
On Christ the solid rock, i stand;
All other ground is sinking is sinking sand.
2. When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In every high and, stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath,His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When he shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in him be found;
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Edward Mote
This is my song for this week.
The bible says "Other foundation can no man laid than that,that is laid which is Christ Jesus."1 Cor. 3:11
Many people will not bear with me the chorus' truth that all other ground is sinking sand.Jesus is the sure foundation that makes one stand and stand.When you are standing on a rock ,you have the hope and strong faith that your feet is never going to slip.No trip to fall. No shaking because you are on the rock.
In the journey of life Jesus is the only rock. He is the one to rely on.Put hold on him on whatever you aspire to do, speak to the rock.Be confident that Jesus is the rock your weary soul.Rock remain mystery to mankind and the generation to come.We have continue to find more mysteries of life inside the rock.If Christ dwells in you ,your life remain a mystery to the world.
Many have their hope in things that are transient,while many doubts their hope in Christ.There are many strongholds in the world today but the name of the Lord is a strong tower.Your self-righteousness build strongholds in you,oaths,covenants and evil promises are strongholds in your life,when you do away with them,the Lord will come in to dine with you.There your weary soul find rest, you are comforted and truth will be glaring in your eyes.Mind you if you think you will stick to the plans of your heart which is dishonouring to God such is a ground of sand which is sure to make you sink.I pray that will not be your portion in Jesus name.
I am not saying that your trust, faith and hope in Christ will keep you from storms of life,no,no,no,there shall be persecutions,trials and tests to determine where your anchor holds.Will it be holding truly in Christ?That's the essence of trials to we the children of God.Trials are there to determine your level in Christ.The bible says we pass through the same trials as brethren all over the world.Your soul is wrapped with many colorful things with,what you trust in nearest to your soul.Is it the Lord that is near to your soul?
When you call on him in prayer he will answer,his unchanging grace to still tempest in your life.His oath and covenant to be with you even till the ages shall see you through and his powerful blood shall mark you out.We all know of the rapture,when he shall come with trumpet sound will you in him be found? Your sins and lust-love will strive to hinder you.They will present you self-righteousness but honestly we can stand faultless before the throne of God in his righteousness alone.
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
On Christ the solid rock, i stand;
All other ground is sinking is sinking sand.
2. When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In every high and, stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath,His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
