THE ANOINTED STONE II
There was a Sister who was having serial miscarriages. Whenever her pregnancy got to a particular stage, she would lose the baby. She got pregnant again and when she began to have signs of a miscarriage, she was rushed to the hospital. While in the hospital, she got fed up and prayed a very ‘dangerous’ prayer out of frustration, the prayer is along this line – God, if our positions were exchanged, I will not allow my daughter go through this. (I do not encourage anyone to pray this kind of prayer, though). That same night, God responded through a dream by taking her to the beautiful house where they…

THE ANOINTED STONE I
Anytime you are trying to find meaning to the contradictions in life, get into the presence of God. The easiest way to do so is through deep praise and worship. It releases the presence of God very cheaply because God inhabits the praises of his people (Psa. 22:3). “And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel?

Proverbs 6:31, NLT The way and manner in which people rationalize nonsense, unrighteousness even in the Church is alarming. They call it love! They don’t really know the meaning of love.

WORSHIPPING GOD WITH UNREPENTANT HEART IV
“Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD”. 1 Samuel 15:30-31, KJV This is the climax. It is all about face saving, how the people perceive him and not about the heart condition, not about God but about the people. It is dangerous to worship God with an unrepentant heart. King Saul was disrobed, disgraced and eventually got possessed by an evil spirit. The situation was so bad that they had to…
