GOD'S 3 ANSWERS TO REQUEST

GOD’S 3 ANSWERS TO REQUEST
Prayer is communicating with GOD. It also mean asking, requesting something from GOD. 2 Thessalonians 5 vs. 17: Pray without ceasing. James 5 vs. 16b: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Every request and petitions need answers. Men pray believing GOD on something; to receive or for such thing to be granted. The bible said pray without ceasing; we have to keep hoping in GOD until he answers us. Mind you, GOD is more able to answer any request or petition you put before HIM. He has a lot of promises for us; we are to stand on them. The first answer to request is Yes. 2 Corinthians 1 vs. 20: For all the promises of GOD in Him are Yea and in Him Amen to the glory of GOD by us. CHRIST is the Yea and Amen. His name answers all. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 66 vs. 18: If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me. The effectual prayer of a righteous man works wonders. Many pray to GOD with a filthy garment. Many pray to GOD amiss. Many pray to GOD with a proud heart. Many pray to GOD giving GOD conditions. Many pray to GOD and are yet to receive answers. Many pray to GOD and are tired of seeking his face again. Many prays to GOD and don’t exercise patience. Many pray to GOD and can’t wait for His timing. GOD is OMNISCIENECE i.e. He knows all. Isaiah 55 vs. 8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, ad my thoughts than your thoughts. He is a GOD of time and season. He has His own timing and appointed time, just for HIM to be glorified.

                  
The second answer from GOD to our prayers and petition is Not Yet. Ecclesiastes 3 vs. 1: To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. GOD saying not yet means He knows best. His timing is the best. Men might be in a hurry for answers to request; but if GOD is saying not yet; then the man has to wait. Abraham has a cordial relationship with GOD. He was a friend of GOD, yet at old age he has no son. GOD knew he needed a son, because all the promises He promised him someone must inherit and possess them. Genesis 15 vs. 3-4: And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed; and lo, one born in my house is my heir. And behold, the word of the LORD came to him saying, this shall not be your heir, but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir. Genesis 17 vs. 21: But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. Then, Genesis 21 vs. 1 says And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. Sarah couldn’t wait at first; she helped GOD giving Abraham her maid Hagar. The third answer is I have something better in mind. Hannah was mocked and scoffed at by Peninnah because she was barren. GOD had something better in mind for her. Samuel was a covenant child. He was indeed better than Peninnah’s children. 1 Samuel 2 vs. 26: And the child Samuel grew on and was in favor both with the LORD and also with men. GOD has his own timing for answers to request. Don’t help GOD devising other means; He hasn’t changed from being GOD. You have to hope, trust and keep believing him till He grants your heart desires. Hope in GOD is not ashamed. It is well with us…..

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...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
