Book Review: The Power Of A Praying Wife

The Power Of A Praying Wife
By Stormie Omartian
 In the power of a praying wife, Stormie shares her personal experience to find contentment and fulfilment in her marital life. She makes prayer seem more like a journey than just an act; and emphasized on the importance of a wife to place absolute concern on the major and sensitive areas that make up her husband's persona, even in prayer. In this enlightening book, she teaches all who would care to learn how to keep their home fireproof from the wiles of the enemy; and also the indisputable role of a wife in the life of her husband. Though first published in 1997, this book still gets me every time, and I'm not even a woman ; so how much more you? I recommend it for women of all ages. Remember, as she wrote in this classic,   "Worrying changes nothing. Prayer changes everything.

Going After The Lord With All Your Heart

  DAILY VITAMIN  - Going After The Lord With All Your Heart "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13) If there's one secret formula to success with God, it is having a heart that is sold out to Him. God personally pointed this out when He bragged about Job - a man whom He had blessed in every way - as a man perfect in his ways. The same thing Hanani said to Asa: "the eyes of the LORD goes to and fro...on behalf of them whose heart are perfect toward Him." (2 Chro 16:9). When your heart is completely given to God such that you go wherever He goes and desist from whatever He does as well, you guarantee yourself a place that many men seek to have. A place of absolute of peace and favour with God and man. This was Jesus' secret - going about the Father's business till it became His personal business. Is that how you see your walk with God too? As a necessity for living? If yes, then congratulations...

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha...

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to...

Desist From Rash Decisions

-

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran...

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived ...
