We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

If leaders are to survive, they must view the difficult as common-place, the complex as normal.
Oswald Sanders

Prayer is not an elective but the principal element in the kaleidoscope of spiritual characteristics that mark a preacher. These traits unite into a powerful spiritual force; they build a spokesman for God. Jesus, the finest model, and other effective spokesmen for God have been mighty in prayer coupled with the virtues of godliness and dependence on God. The composite of spiritual qualities that centers in prayer is conspicuous of God’s long line of proclaimers in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and in church history, even to the present day. Some books on essentials for preaching slight prayer, but others acknowledge its invaluable role. Preachers who follow the biblical model take prayer very seriously. In sermon preparation, they steep themselves in prayer.

    I have a thankful heart
    That you have given me
    And it can only come from you…

    There is no way to begin
    To tell you how I feel
    There are no words to express
    How you’ve become so real
    Jesus you’ve given me
    So much I can’t repay
    I have no offering

    I have a thankful heart
    That you have given me
    And it can only come from you

    There is no way to begin
    To tell you how I feel
    There’s nothing more I can say
    And no way to repay
    Your warming touch
    Had melt my heart of stone
    If that is love
    I’ll never feel alone

    I have a thankful heart
    That you have given me
    And it can only come from you
    I have a thankful heart
    Which had came so easily
    But I’m sure you can see
    My thankful heart

    Help me be a man of God
    A man who’s after your own heart
    Help me show my gratitude
    And keep in me a thankful heart

    I have a thankful heart
    That you have given me
    And it can only come from you
    Thankful heart…
