KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS- Actual Meaning

Since we always say "Keep me in your prayers" to each other, I thought of sharing a small story about the actual meaning of these 
5 words. Just go on and read it and I am sure you will start thinking the way I am after reading this story.

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.

However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island.

The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them, "the first man answered, "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything".

"You are mistaken! "the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me", the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but also those of others praying for us.

This is too good not to share...

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.

"What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself".

KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS

God's Rosebud!

This is great...

A new minister was walking with an older, more seasoned minister in the garden one day.

Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do,
he was asking the older preacher for some advice.

The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and
told him to open it without tearing off any petals.

The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know
the will of God for his life and ministry.

But, because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, 
while keeping every petal intact.

It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.

Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite the following poem...

"It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But, I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine."

"The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so easily,
But, in my hands they die."

"If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then, how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?"

"So, I'll trust in God for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to God for guidance
In each step along the way."

"The path that lies before me,
Only my Lord and Savior knows.
I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose."

Please share this poem with a friend if you enjoyed being reminded
to let go.... and let God
unfold your life.

God is good all the time. .!!!

A few months ago, my son received a special honor and privilege. At first thought, I was proud of him and thankful for his talent and keen intellect; however, the Holy Spirit interrupted my proud fatherly thoughts. He spoke to me and told me to tell my son that the special opportunity was a result of His great grace in my son's life. Yes, my son is talented and very smart, but even those gifts are a result of God's grace.

Exodus 11:3 says, "The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Furthermore, the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt."

When God looks upon His people with favor, He causes people to view them with favor as well. Favor is not a result of your goodness, nor does it in any way originate as a result of anything you have done. Gods favor is grace--undeserved favor. 

Pray for favor. Then, give God thanks and praise when you begin to see the evidence of His favor in your life. 

God is good!!!

Who is the best planner. .?

You relax in an aeroplane though you do not know the pilot, 

You relax in a ship though you do not know the captain, 

You relax in the train without knowing the motorman,

You relax in the bus not knowing the driver,

why don't you relax in your life while you know that JESUS is its controller?

Trust your LORD JESUS. 

He is the Best Planner.

Promise word

🎙14 "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing als Laccording to his will, he heareth us."

15 "And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." 1 John 5:14-15 🎙

  Prayer is not just mumbling through the list and repeating it. Praying 🙏  is coming before the Living God, humbling ourselves in his presence. 

Those who don't receive their prayers answered, it's because of wrong motives / not Will of God. Ask God with proper motives & need to ask with further God's purpose and Glory. 

Sometimes your prayer request will be according to God's will and granted. But it takes time to fulfill for years. In this waiting period you shouldn't slideway from his presence. If God delays there will be a purpose which will bring only Goodness and Extraordinary in your life. 

Don't list 📃 out the prayers repeatedly. At other times, stop ✋ praying and begin thanking God, eventhough you haven't yet received what were praying for: Tnhis shows that you are a believer and confidence that you have upon our Lord Jesus 👍🏻

✨Have a Peaceful day ahead✨ 

           🎀 God bless you 🎀

but it does not make California slow. 

Someone graduated at the age of 22, 

 but waited 5 years before securing a good job! 

Someone became a CEO at 25, 

and died at 50. 

While another became a CEO at 50, 

and lived to 90 years.

while someone else got married.

but Trump starts at 70. 

Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone. 

People around you might seem to go ahead of you, 

some might seem to be behind you. 

But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. 

Don’t envy them or mock them. 

They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours! 

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act. 

So, RELAX. 

You’re not LATE. 

You’re not EARLY. 

You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE Destiny set up for you.   

In conclusion don't rush to get and don't be sad if things turn out to be slow.
In Gods hands time is a tool . He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Don't conclude anything by seeing the outer appearance

One truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental hospital,by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.
He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to return from the mental hospital.He jacked up the truck & removed the flat tyre to fix the spare tyre. When he was about to fix the spare tyre,he accidentally dropped all the 4 bolts in the open drain.

As he cannot fish the bolts in the open drain, he started to panic as to what should be done?.
Just then , one patient happened to walk past him & asked the driver as to why he was looking troubled. 

The Driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the truck driver informed the whole episode to the mental patient & gave a help look.

The patient just laughed at him & said, "You just can't fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a truck driver for life".

The truck driver was astonished to hear such a compliment from a mental guy. "Here is what you can do". Said the mental guy. 

*_"Take one bolt from each of the remaining 3 tyres/wheels & fix it on to this tyre. Then drive down to the nearest workshop & replace the missing one"._*

The truck driver was so impressed with this quick fix answer and asked the patient "How come you are so smart & intelligent and you are here at the mental hospital?".
*_The Patient replied...."Hello friend...!! I stay here because I am crazy but not Stupid"_*

*_No wonder,there are some people, who behave like the truck driver, thinking that others are Just Stupid. So Guys,though we all are learned & wise, but just watch out , there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional / Personal lives, who could give us a lot of quick fixes & brush our Wisdom._*

*_The Moral is - Just Do Not Conclude that you know everything & do not judge people by mere looks/ attire stature or academic background._* 😊😊✌🏻️✌🏻

Most touching one♡♡

"On July 7, 2016 at 12:13 AM my wife was dying. She just had an emergency C-section and went into shock. I stood by her head while she was bleeding out and remembered every fight we ever had and the things I never did for her. I couldn't let her know how scared I was. I stood in front of my wife saying my final good bye! What do you say to someone knowing it's going to be the last time you talk to them. I tried so hard to comfort her and tell her everything is okay. I tried to smile and pretend that it's all part of the operation. They called a code blue and people started rushing into the room. She was shaking so much!!! I kissed her and asked God "please don't take her home." I thought about all the times I missed church at Way of life. I thought about how to tell my new family the bad news. So much was going through my mind that I had no time to enjoy my son. I had to be strong for my family. I had to put the weight upon my shoulders and walk with this load of having my wife pass in the operating room. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to pray because I thought God would shun me for not being a good Christian. I was so sorry and asked God if somehow he could just hear this last request. I was rushed to a different room and waited for about 10 mins. Jackie finally showed up and my heart was so so so so heavy with grief. I wanted to pick her up and carry her out of the hospital as if everything would be fine. I wanted to leave and have this nightmare be over! I stood with Jackie for about 3 minutes and the worst happened. She lost about 1 litter of blood in a couple seconds. I didn't say anything, I was so scared. I just looked at my wife and couldn't utter a word. I wanted to say I love you and tell her it's okay. I wanted to help her as much as I could. I wanted to stop everything and start all over again. I knew she was dying in front of me. They called another code blue! This time my heart stopped. I thought why didn't I pray every night! Why didn't I love her like God has loved me! I died in that room! I truly died! I didn't know what to do again. I watched helplessly as they tried to save my wife. People were running and pushing me farther away from her. She finally uttered a word and it was like the room went silent. She asked for some water and I knew she was leaving earth. They took me and my newborn son to another room. As we were walking I saw my mom and family. I wanted so hard for someone to hold me. I wanted someone to carry me like a kid and tell me it's gonna be okay. I didn't want to be a man anymore. I wanted to cry! I wanted to cry out to God and ask him why! I stood by my family for about 2 minutes looking at everyone and holding back all of my emotions. My mother asked me "how is Jackie?" I almost lost it and cried like a baby. I just shrugged my shoulders and said I don't know yet. I was lying, I knew she was in really bad shape. I wanted to run back in the room and hold her but I had to take care of my son now. He had to be given antibiotics to prevent an infection from starting. After about 5 minutes I asked the nurses if I can go see my wife and they reluctantly said yes. The hallway to where my wife was is about 40 yards. I walked about 5 yards and started crying alone. I couldn't keep up this persona for much longer. I was scared to walk back and hear the news. I wanted my dad to comfort me! I'm still his little boy! I had around 30 something yards to walk and God spoke to me. Gabriel my son I love you more than you can imagine. I heard you and I was there! I saw the c section. I helped the doctors find the problem. I saw when she hemorrhaged and made sure they caught it really quick. I was waiting for you in this hallway when you wanted your father. It's okay to call on me. I will always love you. Just as you asked to save your wife. I've been asking my father to save yours. I walked with more love in my heart for everything in that moment. My wife and son are doing great and will be discharged Sunday. If you see me at church don't ask me where I have been. Just say I'm glad to see you're home!"
