READ : John 15:4-16
“…we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” – 1 John 3:22
This Scripture is very clear. God answers the prayers of people who obey Him. If you had a disobedient son who did not please you, would you just give him anything he asked for? Certainly not! Neither does your heavenly Father answer the prayers of disobedient children. If God has called you to the ministry, just obey! Your obedience opens the door for answers to your prayers.
Another step to receiving answers to your prayer is to be a fruit-bearing Christian. If you are a born again Christian, the only reason you are being kept alive is so that you can bear fruit. After all, Heaven is guaranteed. You have a place in Heaven after you are born again. What else do you need? Earthly treasures are transient and useless. We are being kept alive on this earth so that we can win souls for Him. God wants every Christian to bear fruit.
One thing that many Christians do not know is that God has linked bearing fruit to answering prayer. The Scripture above is very clear! God will be happy to answer the prayer of someone who bears fruit. What do you do for God? What fruit are you bearing? If you sit in spiritual barrenness just wanting God to answer prayers, you may wait forever. Some people just know how to say, “Give me! Give me! Give me!” What are you contributing to God’s kingdom?
Receive this revelation into your spirit and begin to bear fruit from today. Stop being an observer.
