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…..

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...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

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...
