Joel Osteen Devotional 28th January 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Sunday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Just Ask
Today’s Scripture
Matthew 7:7, NIV – “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Today’s Word
One reason we don’t see God do great things is we’re only asking Him for small things. We pray over our food, we pray for protection, and we pray for wisdom. That’s all good, but when was the last time you asked God to do something that seems impossible, something out of the ordinary, something you couldn’t accomplish on your own? If God answered everything you’re praying about now, would it be big enough, would you be satisfied?
Are you asking for your dreams? Are you asking for something that’s over your head? Are you asking for those secret petitions He’s put in your heart? You know those are from Him, but you haven’t told anyone because it seems too far out.
Many prayers are not being answered simply because they’re not being asked. If you only pray small prayers, you’re not going to see the greatness of our God. If you only ask for little things, you’re not going to reach the fullness of your destiny. God is just waiting for you to ask.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You put desires and secret petitions in my heart and that You have said to simply ask You for them. Help me to believe big, dream big, pray big, and think big. I want to be one of the ones who always believes that You can do the impossible. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”- JOEL OSTEEN
