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…

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

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...
