*_Praising God for His Majesty and Answered Prayers_*


Psalm 99:6

*"Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the LORD, and He answered them."*


Psalm 99 invites us to praise our God for two significant reasons: His essential character and His gracious response to our prayers. Our God is truly worthy of all our praise, for He is great, majestic, and radiantly holy. As the holy God sits in majesty, we might think that we could never approach Him, but the psalmist reminds us that He invites us into an intimate relationship with Him through prayer.


*God has designed prayer as a means of blessing, restoring, and helping His people.* When we call upon Him in prayer, He answers and reveals great and mighty things that we do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). Through prayer, we experience His presence and receive grace, healing, and strength from His throne. Just as Moses, Aaron, and Samuel had intimate encounters with God through prayer, we too can experience His nearness and power.


*Sometimes, we may misunderstand the meaning of God's answer to our prayers. We might think it means an immediate grant of our desires, but God's response can take various forms.* It could be a refusal, an explanation, a promise, or a conditional grant. *The important thing is that God attentively listens to our requests and responds according to His perfect wisdom and timing.*


God's invitation to call upon Him in prayer is an incredible privilege. He is not distant or aloof but delights in interacting with His children. As we come to Him with our needs and desires, let us remember that He is the One who answers us. He knows what is best for us and responds in His way, for His glory and our ultimate good.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
