Father, these verses […]

“Therefore hath he [our Lord] mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth” (Romans 9:18 KJV).

“For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, ‘Even for this same purpose have I [Lord God] raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth” (Romans 9:17 KJV). Father, You require us to spread the Word to all who will hear. Please help […]

“For he [Lord God] saith to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion’. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy” (Romans 9:15, 16 KJV). Father, You are […]
