60 Most Powerful Minutes of Your: Power to Live Your Dreams Against All Odds (Paperback)

Judging from the title of this book "The 60 Most Powerful Minutes in Your Day, " many things will normally run through one's mind as he wonders what hour of the day happens to be the most powerful for man? What happens in that hour? And is there a specific hour that happens to be the most powerful for everyone? However, going through this book, you will realise that Jesus told His followers to pray daily for at least one hour. I'd like you to read His words for yourself: Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, sit down here while I go over yonder and pray. And taking with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed. Then He said to them, my soul is very sad and deeply grieved, so that I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with me. And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, The 60 most powerful minutes in your day by TABOT HENRY 2 My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I will (not what I desire), but as you will and desire. And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, what! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour? (Mathew 26:36-40, Amp). I find it very interesting to see that though He met all of his disciples here asleep, He spoke just to one man, Peter, thereby reducing prayer to a very personal responsibility. It is very encouraging for me to realise here, as a matter of fact, that one man can effectively and productively engage the altar of prayer. But the question remains, why did He tell them to engage with Him for at least one hour on the altar of prayer? He did so because He knew that the hour when we give ourselves wholely to prayer will always be the most powerful hour of the day, given that in prayer, we are talking to GOD- the most powerful being ever in existence. The creator of the heavens and the earth and the source of all things both living and non- The 60 most powerful minutes in your day by TABOT HENRY 3 living; In prayer, we're also talking to God, the one who loves us so much that He didn't wait for us to cry out to Him but willingly offered Himself and died to rescue us from our sins and eternal damnation; in prayer, we're talking to the one who cares for us the most and can go to just any length to send help our way, and even referred to Himself as our "present help in time of need"(Psalms 46:1); In prayer, we're talking to the God who was, who is and forever shall be - the one who knows everything about us both in the past, present and the future and holds in His hands the answers to our mind bugging questions and the key to our success and establishment in life. Prayer is the privilege we have to build an intimate relationship with God Himself. It is the platform we have to express our love to Jesus in worship and it is the opportunity we have to harness and maintain an inseparable oneness with the Holy Spirit in fellowship. Prayer is an awesome act, to say the least. And rightly engaged in, is capable of delivering into our hands all the longings and desires of our hearts. It then doesn't cease to amaze one how that with such great potentials and power on the altar of prayer, yet very few people in our day ever see the need to actually engage the altar of prayer as they attend to the The 60 most powerful minutes in your day by TABOT HENRY 4 varied and complicated issues of life and destiny, forgetting to know that destiny is no children's game and life is no entertainment parlour. As Daniel Henderson rightly said, "Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for". Truly, the events and occurrences in our world on a daily basis have all proven to us that life is a battleground and not a playground. Life is a warfare and not a funfair.
