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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
