Do you ask in faith and believe, or do you knock and seek doubtfully?

Know that if you ask in faith and believe, you will receive, but, if you ask, knock, and seek doubtfully, you can expect nothing from the Lord, for he who gives us good gifts as promised, does not go back and forth on his promise, but whatever he said he will do he does. Therefore, if you ask, seek and knock, do so with faith, believing, and whatever you ask, seek and knock you shall receive. Keep the faith!

 

How long will you continue to turn a deaf ear to God’s pleas to you?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God has been reaching out to you, begging you to hear his words, to fill your heart with his wisdom, but you have been rebellious. How long will you continue on in your own willful way? If you continue to despise God’s counsel, you shall eat the fruit of your way and be sated with your own devices. It is not too late to turn away from your wicked ways and live. God’s is merciful, but his spirit will not always strive with us. Turn!

 

What does it mean to taste and see the goodness of the Lord?

When God delivers us, when he provides for us, when he makes a way for us where there is no path, when he heals us from our afflictions when he comforts us in our sorrows, then, we are able to say with confidence that we have tasted and have seen the goodness of the Lord.

 

 

Are the cares of this world blinding you to the goodness of the Lord?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, just look around you, just look up from what you are going through and you will see how much God loves you. Everything around us, he created for us to enjoy, but we take it all for granted, but, what if one day, God decides to take it all away – the sun, the moon, the stars of night, the flowers the trees, the birds and the bees? What if God were to take away our friends, brothers, sisters, parents, children or his grace? What would become of us? Lord, give us grateful, thankful hearts each day and show us how to enjoy the beauty of the earth which you have given us. Amen!

 

 

Have you chosen the world over God?

I have chosen God over the world and it has been the best decision of my life. Since I have tasted the goodness of the Lord, my eyes are open to his goodness, I am on the receiving end of his blessings, and I am now fully aware of what it means to love God over worldly goods. When you love God, he satisfies your life with good things, but when you love the world, it deceives you and you will eat and still be hungry, drink and still be thirsty, you will never have enough, and will be a slave to sin forever. So what will be your choice, will you love God or the world?

 

Are you able to give God thanks and praise during your most difficult times?

When you are able to give God thanks in the midst of your struggle, you are in a good place. When we are faced with adversity, our response is to worry, but we should try to lift God up in praise, tell him our troubles and let him work it out.

Why is it so hard for us to trust in the Lord?

It is so hard for us to trust in the Lord, because we are a faithless generation who wants everything now, we are a covetous generation who wants what God has not predestined for us, we are not willing to rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him, many of us say that we are righteous, that we believe, but, at the first sign of crisis we become frazzled. My brothers and sisters in Christ, let your life be faith-filled and live like you believe, trust in the Lord always and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Help us, Lord!

Has God given you anything that was not good for you?

If then God gives us what is good for us, why is it so hard for us to say, “It is well” when he takes something from us? Lord, when peace like a river attendeth my way, and sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say, “It is well, it is well, with my soul”.

Do you want God’s saving power to breathe new life into you?

All you need to do is to reach out and touch him. He will never turn you away. If you are brave enough to come forward, his blessings will be yours today. Oh, touch the hem of his garment and thou too shall be free, his saving power this very hour, will breathe new life into you.

Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?

God loved us so much that He sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and if we believe in Him we will not perish but have everlasting life, yet, there are so many who still are doubtful that Jesus is the Son of God. But, you and I have reasons to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, we have seen His love manifested in our lives and because we believe, we will not perish but will have everlasting life.
