Sunday Message: GOD’S BLESSINGS

This Sunday message let us therefore not allow our minds to be programmed by the worldly viewpoint that dominates the earth. We should remember that there is no problem that holiness will not solve. No matter what the problem is no matter how big or small, important or unimportant, you are entitled to a miracle because you are a child of God as long as we can humble ourselves and pray to him for the miracle

 God promised us through II Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" 

According to this bible message we need to understand that God is so good and fair he respects our freedom of choice and free will, prayer enables him to step into our lives. God has limited his powers in our lives to the importance that we place on prayer. Prayer gives God the permission to do what he has been longing to do all the time. Even when we do not see anything significant occurring, God is still at work solving the problem. When there are apparently no answers, God is still is waiting for the proper time to give us the solution.

As James 4:3: Outlines that; "You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly". So tell God the problem and then focus on God. He loves to work out difficulties in our lives and if you keep your focus on God, then one way or another he will solve that problem. This is what the Lord meant when he proclaimed in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give your rest or Psalm 55:22 Throw every burden upon God.

Psalm 68:19 Blessed be Our God who daily carries the load for us.

Psalm 56:9 This I well know, that God is for me.

WHY WE ARE NOT SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH GOD?

· May be because we have too much stuff taking place in our hectic lives so we put prayer completely out of our minds;

· May be we do find that prayer as inactive, because we want immediate solutions to immediate problems, so we don't want to wait around for God to do something because we never know how long he may take?

As when we meditate this Sunday  let remember the book of Daniel 10:12 “Then he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.’”

Let finish our Sunday message by answering these questions;

How much time do you spend in prayer? 

Do you go to work without praying? 

Do you go to sleep without praying?

How much do you depend on prayer?  

How much do you depend on God to answer your prayers?  

If you don’t pray, you aren’t trusting in God to answer your prayers!
