Guard your prayer chamber! It is a very compelling command which I had learned from one of the preaching notes that I heard from a preacher in our church. Before this message had been conveyed through the preacher, I have already been so worried about my quiet time with my Lord. Life has been changed when I left my day job and decided to be hands-on mom. My days become so hectic even when I just used to be home. I also feel more tiring almost every day because of sleepless nights and days these past few weeks.
It is hard to guard my prayer chamber when I am so occupied with various cares in my earthly life such as my obligation to my family especially to my baby. However, it is harder not to be consistent with my date with my Lord whom I solely meet in the said prayer chamber. I keep on asking the Holy Spirit to help me set a certain time every day for a date with God. Better yet, I keep on insisting Him to make me able to go to the chamber when the scheduled time comes. It takes godly wisdom for me to be able to practice such a habit. I am actually required to be organized and systematic in performing my tasks the whole day and night. Lastly, I certainly need God’s grace for me to guard my prayer chamber and see my God smiling pleasingly every day.
Have you ever wondered how iron plays a very vital role in the overall health of a woman? Woman’s body built is undeniably generally attractive. Her curve and charm really amaze fellow woman and all gentlemen. In this case, iron which makes the magical charm that exudes from inside her has something to do about it. I have read an information in a certain magazine that iron actually helps every woman to keep her body healthy. Everybody will surely agree that having a health body would mean an ageless beauty. Experts advise that iron must be taken properly as it is a major need for transporting an oxygen through out the body and it is necessary in the formation of new cells, hormones and amino acids as well.
You might ask a query like ” When will it be needed the most?” They said that it is very much needed during menstruation (most probably in time when she is already an adolescent). pregnancy and lactation. Do you know that there are two major forms of dietary iron? The heme iron and the non-heme iron are the two major forms of dietary iron. It is important to get details on these dietary iron as we know that body is not always ready to absorb iron from food. The heme iron is much more easily absorbed than the non-heme. The former can be obtained from meat, poultry and fish while the latter can be found from dark green vegetables.
Thus, this information are to be told to all women out there. Spread the news about the necessity of iron in maintaining a woman’s health and beauty.
How do you pray? This is a question that is always being thrown to many believing christians today. You would hear a variety of answer. Some says “kneeling”. Others would say “sincerely silently”. “I pray during praise and worship portion in the service”, others would unashamedly say. You would seldom get an answer like “I pray only in my bedroom when there is no one seeing and hearing me”.
The Word of God in the book of Matthew 6:6 says “When you pray, go into your room, and when you shut up your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place and the Father who sees you in secret will reward you openly”. This is an eye-opener to all christians who profess to be so godly and righteous. We do not need to be in the public to say a lot of words and showing people that we are really prayerful. God sees the heart of the one calling Him in prayer. It is the motivation and intention that matter to Him. The motivation must not be people but God Himself. It is intended to knowing God in a deeper and more personal way.
Furthermore, the Bible say in Matthew 7:8″ Everyone who asks receives. If you seek you will find and when you knock the door will be opened…”(I paraphrased). Just be careful also in asking for we have to ask things of God so that we will definitely get answer. Much better to ask God Himself than things He gives. When you to God in secret, you will get into His courts as you are without any hesitation, reservation or pretension. God knows the content of your heart so it is just fine to cry to God and tell Him everything in and of you. Finally, always remember that when you enter into your secret place in prayer, you are getting fellowship with your Father God in heaven.
You can now listen to the song of the season in the christian world through this blog. It is always great pleasure to have a very inspiring song at the background whatever you are doing. This song has been leading me to be determined to serve the Lord absolutely. Every word of the song makes me contemplate on how to really give all to Him while I am being trapped with so many earthly concerns. As you listen, let the Lord feel your heartbeat and may He will be pleased to really see what your heart contains.
The Practice of the Presence of God is the title of the pocket book that I have started reading few days ago. It is a a literature that is helping me getting into more profound knowledge about having the presence of God within me everyday. Well, this fact is actually a necessity to every human being who sees life not only while living in the land but even after living. Hmmm..it is quite serious issue to talk about this topic but it is kinda great to obtain knowledge about the most important thing in life. The practice of the presence of God comes not so easily. It has to be an act of will. An act where a full surrender must be exhibited. The said surrender is an absolute entrusting of every concern to the Lord who knows everything. Keeping His presence in my life while doing daily tasks keeps me stronger, happier, more peaceful and hope-filled. Most importantly, my sense of His presence in my life everyday sustains me in the midst of a lot of confusion of every sort.
The Practice Of The Presence Of God is a simple book that can simplify everyone’s life. It is a principle that can even simplify your life wherein you can make choices that will really lead to simple yet significant way of living. The said Presence of the Holy One is the force that keeps me alive and kicking.
I am quite glad to share with you a great song that tells my heartbeat for the purpose of my life here on earth. I long to be used by God as a vessel where He can fulfill some meaningful missions. It has been my fervent prayer to really give my all in all to the Potter’s Hand. Read the message of the song or better yet sing it.
Lyrics of The Potter’s Hand by Hillsong
Beautiful Lord, wonderful Saviour
I know for sure, all of my days are held in Your hands
Crafted into Your perfect plan
You gently call me, into Your presence
Guiding me by, Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes
I’m captured by, Your Holy calling
Set me apart
I know You’re drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray
Take me, Mold me
Use me, Fill me
I give my life to the Potter’s hands
Hold me, Guide me
Lead me, Walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter’s hand
