ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

-
Matthew 7:7-8
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

If everyone who lives on earth at this very moment asks of the Lord, it cannot overwhelm Him, it will not jolt Him in anyway. He is able to take care of it, nothing is too hard for Him:

Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

I have heard some teach that our asking is too much, that we should stop seeking, that we have knock too much for that thing. NO. He said ask!

Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Yes, we cannot overburden the Lord with our requests, no, He said we should ask. See He prefers you to bring it in prayer than worry.

The problem comes when we refuse to believe, live in sin and do not worship. And sometimes we ask amiss, away from His will and even to our own harm. For we are limited in sight. Expect a NO then.

Listen:

Matthew 7:9-11
“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

Is He your Father?

Malachi 1:6
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to the priests: “A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am your father and master, where are the honor and respect I deserve? You have shown contempt for my name!“But you ask, ‘How have we ever shown contempt for your name?’

We cannot be away from the Lord then just run to Him when we need Help. Man must understand that they cannot be independent, they must serve someone, and if we do not serve our creator, who then will we serve?

So the Lord wants us to ask of Him, He desires that we seek His direction in all things and that we should always be in communion with Him, for once we knock He opens for us to come in. Glory to God.

See, there is nothing so big, so complex that can overwhelm our Heavenly Father. Nothing, whether you bring all the requests of those that have gone, those that are living and those that are yet to come, our minds are not big enough to imagine that thing the Heavenly Father cannot take care of:

Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

So go ahead dear one, don't give up that dream or vision, don't loose focus of that your call or assignment, the obstacles, barriers and fears are just a mirage, if it is the Lord that led you commit it to Him. You will succeed. Yes you will. Just stay in prayer, keep seeking and be at that door to commune. He will open the doors for you.

Thank you Heavenly Father for nothing shall be impossible with us, all things work for our good for we have a Father who is the Jireh. Halleluyah.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
