A come-back post! 17 April 2011 "Asking God"

Mat 7: 7( NLT)

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

If the Bible said that everyone who ask will receive what he/she asks for, why is it many often God doesn't granted us our wish?! And we fail to receive what we ask for..why?does these Word of God still prevail?

This could be one possible answer to the question above.

James 4: 2-3 (NLT)
Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God. 3. And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong - you want only what will give you pleasure.

In our case, it is not that we don't ask God but..it's the motives behind each of our requests..almost of all times, you and me only ask what will give pleasure to us, be it for fame, money, power/ influence..but have we ask God, is this really God wants us to have?and what are the things that God wants us to have to fulfill the destiny He has for us in this earth.

The right motives should be all about Him, His glory and His delight in us.

James 4: 6 God opposes the proud but favors the humble.

So, humble yourself and ask God with the right motives and do remember motives is all about what you have in your inner-most heart..is it you or is it God?!
