BE MORE CONCERNED WITH WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT THAN WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT.



                          MATTHEW 06 ; 33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you.

                  A pastor's wife was intrigued when she heard a person say, "One hour is only 4 percent of a day". She had not thought about time in this way. Desiring more prayer time in her life, she thought surely she could give God at least 4 percent of her day. She determined to try it.

                       

                     Therefore, rather than try to fit prayer into her schedule, she decided to fix a prayer time, and then fit the rest of the day around it. Her children are now old enough to travel to school alone, so by 8;30 each morning, a hush fell over her home. She knew her best time hour for prayer would be between 8;30 am and 9;30 am. To guarantee she was uninterrupted, she made it known in the church that, except for emergencies, she would be grateful if people didn't call her until after 9; 30
 in the morning.

                      To her surprise, no one in the church was offended. Instead they responded very positively. Several other women began to follow her example by setting aside the same hour to pray everyday!



MORAL  LESSON

When we seek God's plan first,
Our plans with other people will have a way of falling into place.

How many percentage of your time do you give to God within the the day,
if 1 hour is 4 percent,?

May we have more time with the Lord and we shall be blessed by Him.

THE SAD STORY OF THE FOUR CANDLES

                      ROMANS 05 ; 03 - 04 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation brings patient, and patient brings experience, and experience also brings hope.                  One evening, four candles were burning slowly whiles having a conversation. The ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking.                                               The first candle said; i am PEACE but the world is full of anger and fighting, and nobody wants to keep me lit, and slowly it cried and went off.                                                                                                         The second candle said; i am FAITH , but i am no longer indispensable and it doesn't make sense that i still have to stay lit again, and slowly it went off. Sadly the third candle cried and said; i am LOVE , but people don't have me anymore, they have replaced me with hatred in their heart, they revenge and
