Online House of Prayer

Don’t be a bit-player in someone else’s story; be a hero in your own. 

Anyone can find the dirt in people; let us be the ones who find gold. We will be blessed for it.

When we break-up with friends and lovers, we shouldn't forget the good times.

No foothold is so firm one cannot fall, but then no fall is so bad one cannot rise. Arise, wounded soldier.

God doesn’t like lukewarm people, so burn, baby, burn!

We may move faster on our own, but life is better with a partner.

When we face struggles in life, when obstacles prevent us from moving forward, and when circumstances seem beyond our control, it is easy to begin to despair. However, there is a very simple way of getting rid of any negativity and that is by praising God! 

One of the reasons we don't fulfill God's plans is because we listen to the advice of people who might wish us well but are too timid in spirit. Their fear can fill us with dread. We need to listen to people of confidence.

We all go through storms in life. Sometimes, these storms are so terrible they threaten to sink us. The worst thing we can do during such moments is give in to panic because panic cripples us. What can we do?

Life isn't easy. We face constant opposition from people from all walks of life, with various agendas to fulfill. The attacks can be highly vicious and crippling and cause tremendous injury to self-esteem, reputation, even body. What do we do?

We don't forgive to give the people who hurt us peace; we forgive to receive it for ourselves. Something to think about today.

It is very easy to introduce people to Jesus. All we have to do is tell them about how he has impacted our lives, and they will be moved to find out more. Then, all we need to do is say, "Come and see."

Have you ever tried to solve a puzzle, like Rubik's Cube perhaps, and got frustrated that you couldn't work it out? Situations in life can sometimes get like that. What should we do?

Don't you get fed up with the rivalry, politics, and one-upmanship, with each group beating or belittling the other in their attempts to be king of the coop? The solution is to fly up and away, out of the coop.

Heartbreak is one of the most painful things we can experience, especially because there is no Aspirin to dull the pain. So, we build walls around us. But that's not the solution.

Life can move at breakneck speed, especially in the cities, where everybody seems to be in a rush, trying to get ahead of each other.  But what's the point if we don't enjoy the things around us?

Have you ever become angry when people seem to forget the million times you have helped them and remember the one time you didn’t? What can we do?

We all do terrible things from time to time. Ashamed, we try to cover them up, but unfortunately, there is a very devious character—Satan—who always sees what we do. Not only does he torment us about what we did, but he also holds us hostage. What can we do?

I know that we often feel ashamed of our brokenness, thinking it is a bad—even terrible— thing, and try to hide it from others, so let me tell you a story from ancient Indian lore that might change your mind. 

The dictionary defines patience as the quality of bearing provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like. Does that describe you? 

Have you heard the saying: “Put your money where your mouth is”? This is ever so true when it comes to our faith because it is easy to *say* that we believe in Jesus, but when our faith is tested, we often find ourselves coming up short

Every leadership course teaches the importance of having visions and goals in life. I am in complete agreement. However, the danger is that some of us can be so single-minded about attaining our goals, we sacrifice everything to achieve them, including God and family! 

There are two sides to every story, no matter how obvious something may seem, and we need to hear both sides before we arrive at any conclusions. Don't you think that is fair?

We believe that peace is obtained when strife is eliminated, when storms are stilled. But true peace is being calm in the middle of strife and storms and we obtain this through Jesus.

Have you noticed how often we look to the beginning of a new year to make a fresh start. Unfortunately, we get this opportunity only once every 365 days. Fortunately, however, we don’t need to wait that long because God's mercies are new every morning!
