LET US NOT BE DISCONNECTED FROM GOD
CHRIST DEARLY BELOVED:
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU, SEEK, AND YOU WILL FIND, KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPEN TO YOU.” (MATTHEW, 7:-7-8)
BUT IF WE ASKED AND DO NOT RECEIVE, WE SHOULD CHECK OURSELVES INWARDLY.
“GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE.” (NUMBER, 23:-19)
THERE ARE TWO REASONS BEHIND OUR NOT RECEIVING.
THE FIRST REASON IS BECAUSE OF OUR REBELLIOUS ATTITUDE.
THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS, “FOR THE REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, AND STUBBORNNESS IS AS INIQUITY AND IDOLATRY.” (1 SAMUEL, 15:-23)
THE SECOND REASON CAN BE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF JAMES, 4:-3 “WHEN YOU ASK, YOU DO NOT RECEIVE BECAUSE YOU ASK WITH WRONG MOTIVES, THAT YOU MAY SPEND WHAT YOU GET ON YOUR PERSONAL PLEASURES.”
THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS, “SURELY THE ARMS OF THE LORD IS NOT TOO SHORT TO SAVE, NOR HIS EARS TOO DULL TO HEAR.” (ISAIAH, 59:-1-2)
WE MUST NOT BE DISCONNECTED FROM GOD THE PROVIDER OF ALL OUR NEEDS.
IN CONCLUSION: “FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS. BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL.” (1 PETER, 3:-12)
