Pray To Receive Transcending Power
Do you like to pray? Are you always bringing your problems and heart's most concerned to God, wanting to receive answers from Him? Do you often find that the spirit remains unchanged even after praying, and you find it pointless to continue praying? Actually, we often pray with the wrong focus and according to how we feel. Man is created by God and only when we meditate on the Words that gives life that we will experience transformation in the spirit. Prayer has to start from the truth, and only when you look into the words can you receive answers in life. And a person who enjoys prayer (communion with God) is truly one who does not pray out of habits but rather, she wakes up each day realizing that she needs to pray for she needs God. This is humility - her spirit is teachable, she hears the loving voice of God and she learns to trust God and follow His guidance. Word and prayer go hand in hand, know the word and in your prayers, confirm the word until it becomes your second nature - when the word is in your sub-consciousness, you are in a state of continued prayer. Man is created by God and only when we meditate on the Words that gives life that we will experience transformation in the spirit.

Redefining Greatness <Mt 18:1-9>
We all love to be someone great. Even if we are not the ambitious type, we also do not hope to be someone small and who is looked down upon. The question is, is it wrong to desire greatness? All parents will want to raise their kids to be someone great and useful; teachers hope their students will make it big; even we ourselves will want to ‘feel great’ to a certain extent. So what was Jesus’ answer to His disciples, who also aspired to be great? In <Mt 18:1-9>, Jesus redefined what greatness is. He highlighted that to be great is to accept a lowly position, and He also taught His disciples how to practice humility practically. Jesus’ words to His disciples are also His teaching for us today.
