4 Must Know When You Ask And Receive Not

-

Clearly, the Lord says that whatever we ask in His Name, we will receive, but most a times, we fail to receive some of the things that we ask for. As a result, we tend to question the Lord's credibility. Here is a top "must know" before you start to question God who is innocent, just, and righteous.

1. James 4:3 NLT "And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong - you want only what will give you pleasure". So, have you questioned your motive?

2. Luke 11:9 NLT "And so I tell you, 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". How frequently have you been talking to God on that which you are seeking? Hannah met God after several attempts at Shiloh- 1Samuel 1

3.Habakkuk 2:3 NLT "This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed" I think that verse has said it all, right?

4. 2Chronicles 7:14 NLT "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land".

So, beloved, can you see that our God is innocent, just, and righteous. But, if you feel none of those verses properly apply to you, as in, your motive is right, you have asked times without number, you have waited patiently, and you are cool with God, I want to tell you that everything is working together for your good. What if you had that thing you wanted, and you are not able to read this post, I mean, what if you are D-E-A-D, as in 'daed'? Wouldn't that be the end to that thing you've been clamoring? The bible says seek ye first God's Kingdom and its righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you.

Just allow God do His will, OK? May God's will alone be done in our lives in Jesus name. Shalom

Walking or Just Working?

-
We often confuse "working" for God with "walking" with him. You may work for someone you do not know, but do you think it is possible to walk with a total stranger? Amos 3:3 "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" Some of us attend bible study weekly, prayer meetings, clean the church, join the evangelism team, sing in the choir, act in drama, teach in Bible study, and so on. You know, all these are works. There is still the real thing that has been left out, that is, walking with God. God has called us first to walk with Him, to conform unto the image of Christ. Church activities are only secondary to our walk with the Father. Now, how do you walk with God? 1. It is by committing your life unto His hands, and living the life He has given to you through Christ. Galatians 2:20 "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, wh...

Secular Movies? Are you for real?

-
Somehow, I told a friend about a movie I saw, and at the same time, also recommended the movie to him. Much to my surprise he said, "So Christians are not allowed to listen to secular music, how come no one is talking about the secular movies?" Hello everyone, hope we have been good? When he, (my friend above) accused me of watching and promoting secular movies, I actually found it very difficult to express myself, that was like the first time I'd hear such a thing as "secular movies", seriously? Now here is the deal, a lot of us go to the movies, stream movies online, watch them on DVD, without seeing much of a big deal in them, but actually, there are big deals! Well, plainly speaking, there is nothing wrong in seeing a movie, however, as Christians, we have to be mindful of the kind of movies we see. The cliche, "What would Jesus do?" is the absolute answer when situations like this arises. Ephesians 5:1-2 "Imitate God, therefore, in ev...

Secular Movie 1

-
Yea, still on the matter, "secular movies". Just so you know, I'm as expectant as you are on this issue, keep calm, and let's learn together. Normally, I feel people (Christians now), just watch movies to relax, have fun, and feel good, without actually giving much thoughts on the secularism of those movies, at least that is what it is for me. However, we should remember the Bible verse that says, "Be careful, be vigilant, your adversary, the devil, goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1Peter 5:8. You may say, "how does this apply to an innocent movie?" Actually, we have to be very careful, because sometimes, what may seem innocent, could be something that's lethally dangerous. And really, the more I dig into this matter, the more complicated it becomes. We talk about the secular music, the movie, how about the secular world itself? Aren't the clothing made by Hollywood designers supposed to be secular too, ...
