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…..

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...
