TOPIC: Prayer and Praise

Happy Wednesday 

Today: When God gives more that what we asked for

( more than what you asked for) 

1KI 18: 24, 36-38

Then you call on the name of your God, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by me-he is God." 

36-38

At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: Lord the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. 

EPH 3: 20

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
