The reason why some people do not have the things they desire to have is because they have never asked God for them. You may ask, "Really?" Yes, it's true! What about you? If you knew that God would give you anything you ask Him for everytime you pray, won't you ask Him for everything? I sure will.
Jesus had to ask His disciples to ask the Father God for things. Until He told them, they did not realise they could, and that's the idea behind these series of teaching on prayer: to let you know that you can and should ask God for all the things you want and all the things you need. Jesus said in John 16: 23-24: "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it (to) you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall recieve, that your joy may be full." Can you believe this is in the Bible?
If you are observant you would have seen so many believers' faces very sad. You want to know why. They have unmet needs. They are struggling in order to have those needs met. Imagine if they prayed to God our Father and asked for those needs to be met, and they are, their hearts will be full of joy and gratitude to God, and their faces will be beaming with bright smiles. Each time you meet with them you would think they must have won a million dollars!
Every child of God have the God-given right to ask the Father God for all the things they need and to expect all those needs and wants divinely provided. Whether it is spiritual or physical or material, you can and should ask God for them and watch how He will meet those needs.
I want to suggest to you to make it a daily habit from now on to ask God for all the things you want and all the things you need or what did you think your prayer life should be about - religion? No way! My friend start praying!
In my next posting I will show you some things you need to know that will ensure your prayers are answered. Till then, KEEP PRAYING! God bless.
