GRACE, Exploring Its Riches


                               name of achieving success in human eye, through human
                               parameters. Every human being can succeed in life, not by
                               competing  with  any  other  person,  but  by  simply
                               comprehending the Creator’s purpose for our lives and
                               diligently  pursuing  it  for  accomplishment,  guided  by
                               divine principles, ethics and ethos.


                                              Grace Station 2: Prayer


                               Another grace station God has provided for the supply of
                               His grace to His saints is PRAYER. Prayer is that means of
                               communication  between  humanity  and  Divinity.  When
                               men pray they are meant to connect with the living God.
                               Prayer in itself is not powerful. Religious people can shout,
                               “make decrees”, spend lengthy hours in a prayer meeting
                               and yet lack in power. It is the ability to connect with God in
                               prayer that makes prayer powerful. Our human effort is
                               good, but not enough to make prayer powerful. It is when
                               we connect with God in the place of prayer that we access
                               grace, which is powerful. This explains why people may
                               spend  extended  time  in  vain  prayers  without  heaven’s
                               answers. It means that, not the length of time or volume of
                               prayers which guarantees answers, our divine connection
                               with grace does.

                               James 5:16-18 says,


                                     “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray
                                     for  one  another,  that  you  may  be  healed.  The
                                     effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails
