TOPIC: WHY UNANSWERED PRAYER? 3: Double-Minded
MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 4:6.
“6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
BIBLE READING:
James 1:5-8.
“5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
When we ask men for Help or assistance, there’s always this thought of he/she might not do what we’ve asked of. We quickly remember if he/she has helped someone before or if they’ve turned us down in time past. But that is not like God, He is a promise keeper, covenant keeping God who answers prayers of faith and grant request with expectations. When we appear before God it shows we acknowledge His Power, His Grace and His ability to do all things. That idea that ‘He may not do it because of any reason’ is from the devil, the accuser of the saint, but God can do anything as long as we ask in faith and according to his Will for us.
James said, a double minded person can’t get answers from God because he is doubting the ability of God and this can cause more delay of God’s response. When you have prayed, do you still go around complaining about the issue or begin to profess your faith about it? When we pray in line with the will of God concerning us , all we need do is to believe God has done it. You don’t go about doubting if God will stop that barrenness, if God will give you a spouse, if that job will become a reality, if you will overcome that sickness, if you will ever scale through that examination, stop doubting and start believing, that’s all God wants from us, Complete Faith in Him. Stop the doubt and start believing.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
