GOD'S EXPECTATION FROM YOU TO CLAIM HIS PROMISES

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SUNDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 

TOPIC: GOD'S EXPECTATION FROM YOU TO CLAIM HIS PROMISES   

TEXT: John 16:23-24

Key verse:  Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;  knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 

The woman that runs a restaurant knows that when you, as a customer, come to the restaurant and sit down, you are looking for food to eat. But she does not automatically give you the food without you asking for it. 

Will you sit down there and say nothing while others come in, place their order, eat and go? Others come in and make their request but you keep sitting there, silent, and expect to eat? Many come to God, receive, and go, but you remain there silent. 

Have you said anything to God? God says: I know the thoughts I have towards you: the thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you exactly what is in your heart. But you shall go and call unto Me, and when you have prayed unto Me, I will give you the desire of your heart.

Ezekiel 36:37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. 

In the above text, God is saying: With all these promises I have made, I am expecting the children of Israel to tell Me to do it for them because of My attribute as a prayer-answering God. Go and offer prayers and I will answer by doing it for you. 

Thank God, the disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray.” He responded and said: After you have worshipped God in heaven, then say 'Give us this day our daily bread.'” Mathew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1-4. Does God not know that you need to eat food? He keeps your food and waits for you to pray. 

Does God not know that you are feeling headache or that you are ill? He keeps your medicine (healing) and waits for your prayer. Does God not know that the enemy is attacking you? He keeps the victory and waits for you to pray. In fact, sometimes, He expects your prayer to fill a bottle before answers start gushing out for you! 

“Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” Psalm 56:8, 9. 

God expects volumes of prayer from you. When Jesus taught His disciples, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one,” these are just short statements but they talk about volumes of prayer, which is God’s expectation from you. 

Thought for the day: Are you doing your daily prayer assignment?

Song for the day: Oh yes He answers prayers….the God we serve answers prayers….

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 21-22; 2 Corinthians 4.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
