As we go through life, it takes extra effort to not begin to
adjust one’s expectations.
Some of us tend to begin to feel as though, maybe we are
asking or praying for too much. So we begin to reduce this and remove that from
our hopes and dreams in order to accommodate what we
feel is reasonable enough
to hope for.
But that’s not faith
Faith is not reasonable or logical or makes sense to mere
mortals.
Nope!
Faith is knowing that I have exactly what I have asked God
for before I even see it in reality. The exact beautiful hopes and aspirations
I asked for before common sense and logic and technical ‘know hows’ set in.
On days when I doubt or begin to get in my feelings, I
remember the question a lady asked me a while ago. After I had told her that I
was beginning to question if God heard my prayers because, at the time, there
were no answers. She asked a profound question.
JBums: But why won’t God give you anything and everything
you have asked for?
Your answer is definitely gonna be as concise and accurate
as mine, I bet.
Me: *blank look*
I still don’t have any answer for that question till this
date, especially because if God could so graciously give us His Son, Jesus
Christ to die on the cross for all our sins, how then won’t He also graciously
give us all things too? - Romans 8:32
I did find a bible verse which says we do not receive
answers to our prayers because we have prayed amiss…in order to fulfil our
lustful desire. But I believe that scripture is not about what we ask for as
much as it is about how we ask.
For example, in Ilupeju, there is a road known as “Coker
Road” while there is another “Coker Street” in Olateju. If I say to someone in
Olateju area, “Please tell me how to get to Coker”; they are definitely gonna
describe the one in that area to me without thinking to ask whether I meant the Coker in that area or elsewhere. This scenario happens a lot especially on JAMB
exam days.
So asking amiss could be as simple as that; asking for the
right address in the wrong area.
Do you want to get married for the ‘gram? Want a neat job so
as to appear fly? Or more money just so you can pepper them?
Irrespective of what we ask for or how long it seems the
answers are taking to manifest, do not think for a second that you need to
settle by reducing what you think may be possible.
Do not insult my God in such a manner!
PUUULLLEEESSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Do not get to thinking you can only get half when you have
asked Him for a dozen.
Why?
Why won’t He do exactly all that I have asked for
according to His will and purpose for my life?
I would like to share something that has been proven over
and again in my life and that of my family….and that is…
GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!
