This year we would like to take a look at prayer. So we are going to try and dedicate 2017 in Prayer. There are many aspects of prayer that I think we are actually not aware of. And by standing by the Prayer “chapter”, I think we can all learn something this year.
If you wish to comment on any of the posts, please feel free to do so. Your replies and thoughts are most welcome. In this manner we can all grow in prayer. My posts will come from previous mails and messages we have received that takes on the aspect of prayer. AND points of some of the people in our lives, about what prayer means to them. This way, we think, it might just answer a few of the questions we all struggle with daily on Prayer. (If you have a link that you would like to share, please do so. But please keep it to prayer.)
But mostly we want to stand at the book written by Dr. Myles Munroe – Understanding the Purpose and Power of Prayer.
Please invest in this book. It is such a profound teaching and learning tool. I think everyone should have this book on their shelf. We will only be taking out some of the aspects covered in this book. And we do not wish to copy any of Dr Munroe’s book. So please do not think that we are copying his work. We are only going to take out some of the main points that he touches in this book (trying to explain some points). Therefore you need to buy this book to get the whole picture and the whole message. I do urge you to buy this book to be able to understand what our posts are about. Every time we use his points (work), we will give him the credit for it. For it is NOT our work or our thoughts.
I will post something about prayer and maybe mention some points out of his book so you can understand. Or I will post a complete “session” on a chapter of his book. But I will not copy the complete chapter of his book. You need to buy and read his book to know what is going on.
YouTube video to watch: (I have not watched it myself yet, but you can watch Dr. Munroe’s videos on You Tube.)

Superb Story
A little boy went to his old grandpa and asked, "What's the value of life?"
The grandpa gave him one stone and said, "Find out the value of this stone, but don't sell it."
The boy took the stone to an Orange Seller and asked him what its cost would be.
The Orange Seller saw the shiny stone and said, "You can take 12 oranges and give me the stone."
The boy apologized and said that the grandpa has asked him not to sell it.
He went ahead and found a vegetable seller.
"What could be the value of this stone?" he asked the vegetable seller.
The seller saw the shiny stone and said, "Take one sack of potatoes and give me the stone."
The boy again apologized and said he can't sell it.
Further ahead, he went into a jewellery shop and asked the value of the stone.
The jeweller saw the stone under a lens and said, "I'll give you 1 million for this stone."
When the boy shook his head, the jeweller said, "Alright, alright, take 2 24karat gold necklaces, but give me the stone."
The boy explained that he can't sell the stone.
Further ahead, the boy saw a precious stone's shop and asked the seller the value of this stone.
When the precious stone's seller saw the big ruby, he lay down a red cloth and put the ruby on it.
Then he walked in circles around the ruby and bent down and touched his head in front of the ruby. "From where did you bring this priceless ruby from?" he asked.
"Even if I sell the whole world, and my life, I won't be able to purchase this priceless stone."
Stunned and confused, the boy returned to the grandpa and told him what had happened.
"Now tell me what the value of life is, grandpa?"
Grandpa said,
"The answers you got from the Orange Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweller & the Precious Stone's Seller explain the value of our life...
You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but, people will value you based on their financial status, their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk taking ability.
But don't fear, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value."
Respect yourself.
Don't sell yourself cheap.
You are special. You are rare. You are Unique. You are an Original and the only one of your kind.
Your are a masterpiece because you are the MASTER'S PIECE.
For we are God's masterpiece. Be blessed and be a blessing!
All the very best for 2017
