Seeds of Destiny Monday 20th January 2025: SOD MESSAGE
It has been established that confidence in prayer is key to competence, courage and conquest in prayer. 1 John 5:14 says, And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: When you lack confidence in prayer, you cannot receive answers to your prayer. In our study today, I will give you two bases for our confidence in prayer:
- God is not ignorant of our needs
Matthew 6:8 says, Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
This means, the Father is not ignorant of the needs of His children. This is one basis of our confidence in prayer. When we pray, we do not pray to a God who we try to convince of our needs. The Father already knows the things we need before we ask Him.
This implies that God expects us to ask Him even before we make our requests. Whatever we are planning to ask Him in prayer, He is expecting it. This is exiting!
2. In God, Answers Exist Before Questions, Responses Exist Before Requests
Isaiah 65:24 says, – And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
This means, in God, answers exist before questions, responses exist before requests. God promises to answer us before we ask. So, answers exist before questions, and responses exist before requests are made. So, prayer is not an attempt to convince God of our needs, rather, it is an avenue to connect to God’s response to our needs.
Beloved, when you equip yourself with these truths, you can pray with great results.
Remember this: In God, answers exist before questions, responses exist before requests.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Always convince yourself that in God, answers exist before questions, responses exist before requests.
- Approach God with the confidence that He is not ignorant of your needs.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You because of Your full awareness of my needs before I ask. I draw answers from You to every question of my life as I Pray, O LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
