Everyone that Asks, Receives

By Deaconess ‘Ronke Ademosu

Our God is “The Giver of good and perfect gifts”. He is the greatest Supplier and Provider that has all our needs in His storehouse and gives to each person accordingly. 

God’s original intention was not to subject man to a life of lack and incessant needs, but the first sin deprived us of God’s plan: Gen. 2:15 “And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” 

But ever since the fall of man and by His mercy, we have to henceforth rely on God and ask Him for all of our needs. 

“A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven” (John 3:27) Our bible passage describes the position of Jesus concerning asking for our needs from God. It is a command to as many that believe in Him to ask for whatever their needs may be, believing that they will receive their requests in His name.

He says “ask”, “seek” and “Knock”, these are the conditions by which we can receive maximum supports from God. Perhaps you are thinking “doesn’t God know our needs already? Yes, He does, but he wants to hear it from you and would love you exercise your faith and trust in Him. 

Often times He waits for us to reach out in surrender so that He would take over our burdens, but, do we reach out? He is calling us today and giving us the mandate to allow Him be in the center of our affairs. 

He said in John 16:24 “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your you may be full”. That is our right as heirs of God. Are you ready to exercise that right? May the LORD grant us wisdom and understanding, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
