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…

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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
