    Zechariah prayed, and thought his prayer was not answered. God, however, not only heard his prayer, but answered in a way he could never have imagined.

    “In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. But they ...read more

    If you are persistent in prayer you may not get what you want when and how you want it, but you will definitely come to this conclusion about God and that is that GOD is FAITHFUL.

    Text: Luke 18:1-8 Introduction One of the attributes of God that makes Him so unique and different from man and other gods is His faithfulness. It is this attribute that makes God boldly declare in Isaiah 44:6-8 that there is no God apart from Him. God’s faithfulness puts Him in a class all ...read more

    God is willing, ready and available to listen to us and answer us when we pray. Are you willing, ready and available to pray?

    There is a God that answers prayers and His name is Jehovah El Shaddai. There is no prayer request that is too big, complex or complicated for Jehovah El Shaddai to handle. Neither is there any request that is too small, trivial, mundane or inconsequential for God not to give His attention to. ...read more
