Ask, Seek and Knock for God’s answers

“ Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.
MATTHEW 7:7 AMP

Praise and honour to the Most High God for another day He has blessed us with. We will rejoice and be glad in it, glory be to God.

Today’s scripture is one of Jesus’ fundamental and important teaching on prayer. It gives us the assurance that if we come to God, He will hear our cry to him.

The verse says if we ask, seek or knock, we should keep repeating the process and we shall get the response. The specific number of times is not stated but the fact that the answer will come is what should spur us on that God will definitely respond to the request made to Him. Certainly if you are looking for someone and you have been told the person is in the room, you will knock till he hears and opens the door. We should keep knocking till God opens the doors, hallelujah!

The main lesson here is that we should be persistent in our prayers and walk with God and God will come through for us. Keep pushing and pursuing God for whatever you have placed before Him, in accordance with His plans and purposes for you, it shall come to pass.

May we receive the Grace to be consistent in our prayers and requests before the Almighty God. Thank you Jesus that you continually intercede on our behalf and therefore our prayer requests are answered in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Humility, Prayer and Repentance will bring God’s answers

and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14 AMP

Thank God for the blessings of a brand new day and the opportunity to call upon His name.

This morning the scriptures are reminding us of the place of God in our lives. We are incomplete and hollow without Him. We need God to make our lives and everything about us to work.

It starts with us humbling ourselves and recognizing that there is a God who owns and has control over the universe. We therefore need to follow the the simple steps outlined in today’s scripture.

Firstly Humble yourself, that is the admission that we are nothing without God. Secondly Pray, this acknowledges that there’s a Supreme Being who has unlimited power to do all things. Thirdly, Seek God’s face is re-emphasizing the fact that God is the one who holds answers to our prayers because He has the whole world in His hands. Finally, Turn from the wicked ways, God loves the sinner but hates sin so we need to repent from our sins to get Him to act on our behalf.

God forgives and hears us when we go through the above, He steps in to heal or restore any situation that we present to Him genuinely.

May we receive the cleansing of the Lord and restoration in all of life including our land and nation and the world as a whole. The Lord be our strength and portion in Jesus Mighty name!Amen.

Persist in Prayer and receive answers

For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.
MATTHEW 7:8 AMP

Praise, Glory and Hallelujah to the King of Kings for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

This scripture is an assurance that once we are consistent and persistent with God, we shall receive from the Lord.

Permit me therefore to repeat for emphasis that if keep asking, seeking and knocking the answers will come. The scripture says that you receive if you keep asking, you find if you keep seeking and the door is opened if you keep knocking.

May we not relent in persisting in prayer and God will come through for us. May we enjoy the blessings of God as we continue to call on Him in Jesus Mighty name. Blessed day.
