Spending A Day With God
To be able to develop a close relationship with God, we need to spend quality time with Him. We need to study His Word, and let His Holy Spirit speak to us through it. We require time to spend in earnest prayer, talking to Him, praising and worshiping Him. We need time to look at nature and reflect on all the wonderful creations that He has made. And finally, we need time to spend with fellow believers, to worship together in song and have fellowship with each other, encouraging one another and building up each other’s faith by our testimonies.

Family Well Being Promised To Christians
There are too many Scriptures to cite here which show that we can pray in faith for our family. Over and over again, we are told that it will go well with our children. These many Scriptures demonstrate the great fact that our families are included in the promises from God to Abraham. The Abrahamic covenant included four great blessings. They were healing, prosperity, and family well being in addition to salvation. Over four hundred years later, God added the Mosaic Law to the blessing promises in the Abrahamic covenant to deal with their sin problem. Here is how this worked.

DISASTERS-WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
What did Jesus say to do in a time of catastrophe? There were disasters that The Lord talked about. The first was about those who lost their lives because of Pilate, & also those who lost their lives because the Tower of Siloam fell on them. Jesus used these instances, as a chance to teach those Galilaens about what their attitude ought to be in response to these disasters. They are now being faced with catastrophe after another, & they must learn what Jesus taught about the subject.

The Power Of Worship
Singing praises to God or worshiping him opens up a window to heaven. As your praise reaches the heart of God, it becomes a two way stream of communication. As you touch God with your praise, his Holy Spirit touches you and ministers to you. Praise and worship can also open the door to blessings from God. We praise God because he is worthy of all praise. He is the maker of Heaven and earth and the entire universe. He has given us life and through his son has saved us from ete al damnation. He loves us completely despite of our short comings and sinful nature.

How do we reconcile a caring god, a god of power, with a god who allows evil to happen? * Tragedies and suffering flood the news. Why? * Evil and pain afflict loved ones, friends and communities. Why does God allow this? * Suffering seems to leave no one untouched. People ask why God allows pain in their lives – emotional pain, physical suffering, sadness and loss. They say God must not care, or perhaps he is not powerful.

Blessed To Be A Blessing
To be blessed means to be consecrated, set apart, and highly favored. When God blesses you, He does not leave anything out. It is more than personal happiness, wealth or well-being. He sees His flock as holy, chosen by Him to be a peculiar people, high above all nations in praise, in name and in honor! (Deut. 26: 18-19) In other words, His blessings are designed to make you stand out from those who do not know Him! What makes you peculiar is that you are chosen to be a royal, holy priest for Him.
