TOPIC: OUR GOD’S REQUEST 3: TO KEEP ASKING
Memory Verse: Gen. 17:1
“1 When Abram was Ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”
Bible Reading: Luke 18:1-8
“1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,
2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
When you keep calling someone and he refuses to answer, you get to conclude with the mind set that, he doesn’t want to respond. Now, many things may be responsible for not answering, which ranges from positive reasons to negative reason. But we always tend to be negative about it, believing the person is doing it intentional. Another conclusion is that, the person in question is too proud. Others may say, he is wicked, but few will reason if they’ve hurt or did something to the person in question.
God is not a man that treat us as our sins deserves. When God is silence, He is speaking. It may seems He is late, He is still speaking. He want us to keep asking Him what we desire, to make our needs known to Him. Many times, He wants us to be persistent with our request like the widow did with the judge who has no fear of God or man. Our persistent asking is not a burden to Him, its just a prove of our need of His help.
Math, 7:7
“7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
John 14:12
“12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Psalms 2:8
“8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.”
Jere 33:3
“3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’”
If there’s anything God is expecting from us, is to communicate with Him. Ask Him questions and direction. Are you willing to Ask Him about your life? He is expecting your call, dial His number.
