WHATSOEVER WE ASK

WHATSOEVER WE ASK
Many a time we ask believing and we receive; but not all things asked at times are given. Asking is an act of making a request or petition. Our GOD is still alive and still hears request and petitions. Delays to request and petitions many a time are caused by not keeping GOD’s commandments and not doing what pleases GOD. Many even ask amiss and not according to the will of GOD. James 4 vs. 3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. How can a man who keeps not GOD’s commandments and doesn’t please GOD pray to HIM and he answers? GOD cannot behold iniquity; His eyes are too pure to behold them. Isaiah 59 vs.1: Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. Vs.2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your GOD and your sins have hid his face from you that he will not hear. 1 John 3 vs. 22: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. Vs.23: And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of his son JESUS CHRIST, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. Whatsoever we ask, we receive from HIM provided we keep his commandments, please him and believe in the name of JESUS. Matthew 7 vs.7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; vs. 8: For everyone that ask receive, and he that seek find, and to him that knock it shall be opened. Vs.9: Or what man is there of you, who if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?  Vs. 10: Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent?
           Furthermore, when a man asks in the name of JESUS he receives, provided he believe and pleases GOD. When a man seeks in the name of JESUS, he finds; when a man knocks in the name of JESUS it opens. Psalm 50 vs. 15: And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 91 vs. 15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. These come to pass when a man set his love upon GOD. Psalm 91 vs. 14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. David snatched Uriah’s wife Bathsheba and yet wrote a letter to Joab to set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle and retire from him, that he may be smitten and die. 2 Samuel 12 vs. 13: And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, the LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Vs. 14: Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. Vs. 15 b: And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. Vs. 16: David therefore besought GOD for the child; and David fasted and went in and lay all night upon the earth. But with all these he did, the child died. It is always good to do the right thing in the sight of our Maker, so that whatsoever we ask in his name believing we receive. 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...

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...
