Marvelous Prayer

Just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, with no future in sight, God enters the scene and fills you with new hope.
This is what He did for Abram—whom we know today as Abraham, the Father of faith.
On the strength of a promise, seventy-five-year-old Abram and his wife, Sarai, left their home for a spiritual adventure—without a road map, not knowing where God was leading them.
Abram journeyed to Egypt and returned a wealthy man—and a tither. Then the Lord, through a dynamic revelation, told Abram his seed would be numerous as the stars. (Genesis 15:5)
This meant he would have children. But how could this be, since he was old and his wife, Sarai, was well past her childbearing years?
Anxious and tired of waiting, the barren couple thought they would help God’s promise along by having Abram father a son by Hagar, the Egyptian handmaiden of Sarai. They named the boy Ishmael.
However, this wasn’t what God had in mind, and the family chaos which followed proved this to be true.
Then, when Abram was ninety-nine years old:
“The LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” (Genesis 17:1)
Abram had known God as Creator (Elohim) and as Jehovah. In fact, in this verse, when “the LORD appeared,” the Hebrew word used is Jehovah. But when God declares, “I am the Almighty God,” Abram is introduced to a name with which he is unfamiliar.
This was El Shaddai-El means “God,” and Shaddai is “my Supplier,” “my Nourishment.” In this life-changing encounter:
“Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.” (Genesis 17:3-4)
God revealed Himself as El Shaddai, the One who is all sufficient.
There is always perfect order in God’s kingdom. We first meet Him as Creator (Elohim), then as our Lord God of covenant (Jehovah) and now as our Provider (El Shaddai)—our all-sufficient Nourisher and Satisfier who supplies more than enough.

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom...
