Are we not counted as strangers? For he hath sold us, and quite devoured also our money.” (Gen 31: 15). This were the words of Leah and Rachel concerning their father Laban. They didn’t have a voice while they were being sold.

There is this Yoruba hymn that encourages consistent prayer life: “Aare mu o, okan re poruru, so fun Jesu, so fun Jesu…” Meaning, man ought to pray and not faint (Lk 18: 1). That fainting period is when you should force yourself to draw closer to God.
So, we as children of God should pray without seizing.

“Ego comes with power and power is an attachment to a position of authority. Ego invariably kills knowledge. We need to learn new things on daily basis in order to sustain a position. If ego prevents us from learning then there will be misuse of power. The power and position then might not be sustained. If you are going to hold on to power for long, be humble, because humility is a learning requirement. Be humble or you will stumble” (D. L. Moody).
Know these and know peace ✌️:
1. The only garment that attracts honour is humility
2. if you are going to grow or be great, you must learn and if you’re going to learn you must be humble
