ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE...... THUS SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS

Hello everyone,
Hope ur night was wonderful and y'all had enough rest (Kemi) anyways not sure if theres anything called enough rest except you are on bed rest. As usual am at work, i got in touch with my lovely friend today back home in Nigeria, i missed her wedding by a few days when i went on vacation last year and she gave me a website to view her pictures, O! she looked adorable. I must say her photographer's concept( http://www.dansiki.com/) i like and might be using him in a bit (lol).
So i was observing my alone time with God, " lord knows i try to spend time with him" and am grateful for his everlasting love. Anyways during my quiet time i read from OUR DAILY BREAD today's teaching and it talks about PRAYING, we all at some point find this difficult to do it seems like the simpliest thing but its the hardest sometimes..... I struggle to and its just the grace of God that keeps us all.
This teaching made a point actually two points and it ministered to me, 'If jesus felt the need to pray whats our excuse' I had never for once acknowledged or felt the significance of Jesus praying but after reading todays teaching i thought to myself .......I have no excuse and truth be told Prayer is the code to unlocking the mysteries of this life and it takes communication with God , its not that hard and i believe if we seek the holy spirit to guide and teach us we would become shields of our lives from the damned world beyond. It takes a willing heart and a purged mind and all this is attained by admitting we need the help of the H.spirit.
The second was my favorite "luke 11:9-13" we are priviledged to be called sons and daughters of God, we have access to everything we need all we need to do is follow in the righteous steps of the father. In the world today its hard to do that cuz our flesh beats us down sometimes, but then we kneel to pray, giving thanks and demanding for different things, sometimes we get them sometimes we dont either because its a delayed answer or its not God plan for us. But i have come to notice that when we ask for something and it seems the wait is long we give up but in my reading today there it says, when a child demands something from his parents and they refuse he persists whether by crying or throwing tantrums eventually they give in..this same act is likened to our relationship with God, we ask as he has asked us to and we should keep reminding him till he gives us and not unless its not his plan for u he never falters.
WE SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT GET TIRED OF ASKING GOD FOR OUR HEART'S DESIRES, UNLESS YOU ASK U CANNOT RECEIVE...... even if he knows ur wants if God does not see ur desperation for it a billion others are praying and demanding for the same thing and even more so its just assumed you dont need it. As human beings we ask "How bad do you want it" BE PERSISTENT AND PRAY RELENTLESSLY
Mola!!!
