ASKING AND RECEIVING

“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”

Psalm 2:8

God created man not to be self dependent but rather to depend on Him, it is man’s total dependence on God that guarantees a sweat less triumphant life. Several times in the scripture it has been re-emphasized over and over the fatherly role of God towards mankind most especially His children. “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”(1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 55:22) God cares for you more than your earthly father, He said the thought he had for you is the thought of peace not evil to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11) His love for you cannot be quantified nor measured. But despite all these you still need to ask Him, though He is willing to give you everything you asked Him but you just have to ask first before you can receive from Him.

COME BELIEVING GO TESTIFYING

 “And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.”

Mathew 9:28

Every testimony is the proof of direct act of God also known as a ‘Miracle’. Preceding every miracle is faith, because miracles respond to faith. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”(Hebrews 11:6) To move God requires faith, and when faith is on ground miracles are bound to happen because God honours faith and faith honours God. The anchor scripture is a pure demonstration of the act of God in response to faith or believing, this story is one of the many stories establishing the fact that faith is the anchor that draws miracle.

INVOKING THE COVENANT

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and sayings, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.”

Mathew 9:27

Covenant is an agreement between two or more parties with a promise of fulfilling a certain obligation when a certain condition is fulfilled. A covenant is different from a promise because of its rigidity and in the case of God and man irrevocable. “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”(Psalm 89:34) whatever things that proceeds out of the mouth of God cannot be reversed. Every of God’s words and promises are covenant in the making because the moment the condition necessary for its fulfillment are met it will surely deliver. There are more than 8,000 promises in the Bible that can be attributed to the covenant. Over the ages God entered into covenants with men like Noah, Abraham, and David and others.

OTHER GODS

 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

Mathew 6:24

The first three commandment delivered through the hand of Moses has to do with our relationship with God, while the remaining seven deals with our relationship with our fellow men. The first of the three is that: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”(Exodus 20:3). Many people limit the other gods in context to graven images and handmade gods, or worship of sun, moon, and stars or other creatures. Other gods means different things to different people, whatever you idolize becomes a god to you. Also whatever that can take the place of God in your life are other gods, therefore whatever you give the first place to in your life is other gods. To some it is food, while to some it may be something else.

RICHES OF GLORY

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:19

Many people today including believers find it difficult to define the word ‘Glory’ not really that they don’t know what it is, but that it is complicated in definition. If you don’t know how well to define Glory you can as well take some minutes to check the opposite of Glory which is ‘shame’ from there we can take a cue from the definition of shame to define Glory. Glory represents every good thing one can think of, while shame is a reproach and stands to represent every bad thing that can happen to any man. Several times in the scripture God promised that His people shall not be ashamed
