“We often think we know what is best for us and then we plan and order our lives from this knowledge. God, however, knows the end from the beginning, He is the all wise One and He alone knows the future. We can spare ourselves so much sorrow and heartache, often, by going to God first and waiting on Him in prayer and waiting for His timing and plan to unfold, giving Him glory because He has a good plan for all of us.” GodPrayerKnowledgeHeartachePlan Book:God's King: Lessons From The Life and Times Of King David Source: God's King: Lessons From The Life and Times Of King David
“There are many lessons and truths we may learn from the life of Stephen. The two most important ones probably are, in my estimation, the power of the gospel of Christ (being not ashamed to preach Jesus) and forgiveness, not just the forgiveness that God offers us but the forgiveness that Stephen was able to offer to his accusers and murderers and to even pray for them as he breathed his last.

That we are restored and made whole.” SufferingPrayerHealingForgivePaddick Van ZylEight People Eight Life LessonsStephen The Martyr Author:Paddick van Zyl

“When we pray over our choices and decisions (the big and important stuff) we acknowledge that God is in control. When we bring to Him our plans first to get His will and not the other way around, we will be blessed and be assured of being in God’s will.” ChoicesPrayerDescions Book:The Solomon Principles Source: The Solomon Principles
“When we commit each new day to God in prayer, asking for His provision, His will, His plan for us in order that His will may be done on earth in our lives as it is in heaven, then we start to begin our journey of ‘powerful prayer’. And we bring delight to the Father because we seek fellowship with Him and His will more than things and above our own desires.” PrayerPowerCommunion With God Author:Paddick van Zyl
