TAKE THE MATTER TO JESUS CHRIST IN PRAYER

-
Every human child that has a pressing issue to resolve runs to tell his or her earthly father or mother.

They do so because they believe their parents would resolve the matter for them. It never really occurs to them how their parents would resolve it.

In fact, it never bothers them to try to reason whether or not their parents can resolve the matter. All they do is to ask and then their parents should resolve in their favour.

Dear friend, this is exactly how it ought to be between Christians and God our Father in heaven.

Our earthly parents have a limit to what they can do for us but the child does not know that when he or she is making a request.

For adults who have read and understood the Word of God in the Holy Bible, it is written that God can do all things – Matthew 19:26.

Since God can do all things, then we must take every single request to God in prayer in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You must behave like the little child who believes his or her earthly father can do all things. You must ask God and thank Him in advance for answer to the prayer.

And when God answers, not only must you thank and praise Him, you must testify about the answer to others to first and foremost acknowledge God as the One Who has done it and also to encourage your listeners or fellow brethren to do same.

Two very important things you must bring yourself to understand is that God can do all things (Matthew 19:26) and also that everything is possible for the person who believes – Mark 9:23.

With this mindset, not only would you not doubt whether God can answer you or not, but you would also learn to ask God for anything and everything in prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You must also learn to be grateful to God for each and every prayer He answers for you just like a child would thank his or her earthly father for resolving the matter.

Dear friend, this is how faith works.

However, I will add another very important point here. This answer to prayers is only for children of God.

Someone may ask, are we not all created by the same God Who is Father to every human being? Yes, the first part of the question is correct, which is that we are all created by the same God.

However, the second part about God being Father to all is not correct.

God is only Father to anyone who has repented of sin, confessed and forsaken sin, acknowledged and received the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and who is genuinely obedient to God’s commandments in the Holy Bible.

Yes, dear friend, this is stated in John 1:12 as to those who are given the rights and privileges of sonship in God.

So you must endeavour to qualify to be a child of God. 

I say endeavour because not only would you enjoy privileges here on earth but you also qualify to enter heaven to spend eternity (world without end) with the Lord Jesus Christ.

In fact, any serious minded person must have heaven as his or her focus and you cannot enter heaven without genuinely knowing, accepting and obeying the Lord Jesus Christ.

You can begin today by praying to the Lord Jesus Christ sincerely that you want to know Him today and forever. 

Thereafter, you should get a copy of the Holy Bible and read from the Gospel according to John.

May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most precious Name, Amen.

THE PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Titus 2:7-8 (AMPC)   “And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern  and a model of good deeds  and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity  and seriousness.   8 And let your instruction be sound  and fit  and wise  and wholesome, vigorous  and irrefutable  and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting  or evil to say about us.”   Dear people of God, whenever and wherever a Believer in Jesus Christ stands to minister to others, he is acting as an ambassador of Jesus Christ.   He is representing Jesus Christ because Jesus has commanded all believers to go and preach to everyone the Gospel or Good News concerning Repentance and Salvation found only in Him.   Jesus Christ our Lord was a Preacher of Righteousness while He was here on earth as a human being.   There was no...

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

NO DIVORCEE WILL ENTER HEAVEN

MATTHEW 5:31-32 (KJV) “ 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:   32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   MATTHEW 19:8-9 (KJV) “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.     Dear people of God, over the years, many Christians have been ignorantly fed wrong information about a condition under which a man can divorce his legally married wife, which according to them is when the woman commits adultery.   As a result of this misinfor...
