UNEXPECTED ANSWERS.

UNEXPECTED ANSWERS
Greetings to all worldwide reading on this platform, been a while due to one activity or the other. Many a times we pray, but when it is getting so long without answers to our prayers, we think otherwise. Many pray but faint at the end, many pray believing GOD for a long time miracle, but are surprised when GOD doesn’t answer. GOD does as it pleases him. He knows better than we do. He knows everything and controls everything. His thoughts are not ours, neither are his ways ours. You might be expecting answer to your prayers quickly, but GOD might extend the answer just for him to be gloried. So you have to keep praying. The bible says pray without ceasing, you have to keep praying until your answers come. The bible said men ought to pray and not faint. Many a time when our answer comes, it is surprising, it is wonderful to us, because our GOD is a miracle working GOD and he is a perfect GOD. He does thing at the right season and time for his name to be glorified again. Many don’t understand why GOD does prolong answers to prayer, it might not be good for you, when you truly need it, but will be the best for you, when He GOD finally answers.

              However, imagine a small boy requesting GOD for a brand new car, GOD will answer, but not when he is still small; he will surely give answer at the right time and right age, when he is capable to drive a car. He is the only wise GOD. It is good to always challenge GOD to answer our prayers. Hannah has been going to Shiloh all these years with Elkanah her husband, not until she was provoked in her spirit a day and prayed. 1Samuel 11 vs. 10-11: she was in deep anguish and was crying bitterly as she prayed to the LORD, and she made this vow; O LORD of heaven, if you will look down upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you and he will be yours for his entire lifetime, and his hair shall never be cut. Eli thought she was drunk, she prayed and made a vow which was a different prayer since she has been coming to Shiloh. To get unexpected answers, you need to challenge GOD. Her vows challenged GOD and were a key to opening her womb, then after fulfilling the vows; the bible said GOD gave her three sons and two daughters. O what a wonderful GOD, what a miracle working GOD. Hannah has been written off that the LORD had sealed her womb, Peninnah had taunted her, scoffed her because she was barren, but behold the unexpected answers you must be righteous. The bible says the prayer of the righteous man avails much. It is well with us….

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
