RECEIVE! (2)

MARK 11:24, MATTHEW 7:11 (GNB), EPHESIANS 3:20 (NLT)
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. *As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! *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

Today, we shall consider more scriptural examples to buttress that God is always more willing to give us what we are asking for, and what He wants to give us is always bigger and better than what we are asking for.

When the people of Judah were faced with a great threat from three different kings, Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah prayed unto God for his help. In answering them, God did not only divinely give them victory over the armies of those three kings; they didn’t need to fight at all, and they ended up gathering abundant wealth and weapons for three whole days, (2Chron.20). Hannah was asking God for a child, and instead of just giving her a child, God gave her one of the greatest prophets Israel had (1Sam.1:20), along with three more sons and two daughters, (1Sam.2:21).

In Joseph’s dream, he saw his family bowing to him (Gen.37:5-11) – local dominion and influence; but what God had in mind for him was global dominion and influence. The Bible says, “People came to Egypt from all over the world to buy grain from Joseph because the famine was severe everywhere.” (Gen.41:57). When Joseph was praying to be released from prison, God was orchestrating how Joseph would be taken to the palace. Receive God’s abundant wisdom, favour, provision, and strength.

PRAYER:
DEAR FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE GREATER AND BETTER THINGS YOU HAVE IN STORE FOR ME. I RECEIVE YOUR ABUNDANCE INTO MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
