Know The Truth

Wisdom, pleasure, work, power, riches, religion and all other things have some value and are useful in the proper time and place; but they have lasting value only if God is at the center of man's life.

Its not by works, less I may boast of my work in the vine yard of God. God thank u for choosing me as one of your servants. As we make our desires and zeal to serve God known to Him, He will carry us to where we belong. I am blessed coz I m His battle axe.

Six Reason Prayers Are Not Answered

The devil's final strategy in deceiving believers is to make them doubt the faithfulness of God in answering prayers. Satan would have us believe God has shut His ears to our cry and left us to work things out for ourselves.

I believe the greatest tragedy in the church of Jesus Christ today is that so few now believe in the power and effectiveness of prayer. Without meaning to blaspheme, multitudes of God's people can now be heard complaining, "I pray, but I get no answers. I've prayed so long, so hard, without any results. If God's ear is open to my prayer, and I pray diligently, why is there such little evidence of His answering?" Let's hit the target right away bros and sis in the Lord.

Reason One: Our Prayers Are Aborted When They Are Not According To God's Will
Self-centered prayers will lead u no where.
"If we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us" (1 John 5:14)
We know too much about what we want and too little about what He wants.

Reason Two: Our Prayers Can Be Aborted When They Are Designed To Fulfill An Inner Lust, Dreams, Or Illusions.
"If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18).
Instead of yielding, we run from one horoscope page to another, one church of miracle to another - trying to find help to cope with despair, emptiness, and restlessness. Yet, it is all in vain because sin and lust have not yet been plucked out. Sin is the root of all our problems. Peace comes only when we surrender and forsake all lust and secret sin "Ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lust" (James 4:3)

Reason Three: Our Prayers Can Be Denied When We Show No Diligence to Assist God In The Answer.
We go to God as if He were a kind of rich relative who will support us and give us all we beg for, while we lift not even a hand to help. We lift our hands to God in prayer, then put them in our pockets. We expect our prayers to get God working for us, while we sit idly by, thinking to ourselves, "He has all the power; I have none, so I will simply stand still and let him do the work." It sounds like good theology, but it is not. God will have no idle beggars at His door. God won't even allow us to be charitable to those who on earth refuse to work.
Proverbs 20:13 “Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread”
"We command you that, if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
Maybe u r restling with “lust of the flesh” We cannot go about all day long giving in to our lust and evil desires, then run into the secret closet at night to pray for a miracle of deliverance. What are u doing to assist God overcome that lust? Don't blame God for not listening to your prayers if you're not listening to His call to obedience

Reason Four: Our Prayers Can Be Aborted By A Secret Grudge Lodged In The Heart Against Another
Christ will not deal with anyone with a wrathful and unforgiving spirit. We are commanded to "lay aside all malice, envy, and evil speaking, and as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word" (1 Peter 2:1,2). Christ will not even communicate with a wrangling, jangling, unforgiving person. God's law of prayer is clear on this matter, "Lift up pure hands without wrath or doubting" (1 Timothy 2:8). By not forgiving the sins committed against us, we make it impossible for God to forgive and bless us. He instructed us to pray, "Forgive us, as we forgive others."
Today, I want u to get any Jonah off ur ship and the storm will ceize.

Reason Five: Our Prayers Can Be Aborted By Not Expecting Much To Come Of Them.
Our lack of patience is proof enough we don't expect much from prayer
He who expects little from prayer will not have much power and authority in prayer. When we question the power of prayer, we lose it. The devil is trying to rob us of hope by making it appear that prayer is no longer effectiveHe who expects little from prayer will not have much power and authority in prayer.

Reason Six: Our Prayers Are Aborted When We Ourselves Attempt To
Prescribe How God Should Answer.
The only person we lay down terms to is the one we don't trust. Those we trust we leave to themselves to do what is right. It all boils down to a lack of trust.
The believing soul, after he has unburdened his heart in prayer to the Lord, resigns himself to the faithfulness, goodness, and wisdom of God. The true believer will leave the shaping of the answer to God's mercy. Whatever way God chooses to answer, the believer will welcome it
David prayed diligently for his household, and then committed all to God's covenant - "Though my house be not so with God, yet He hath made with me a covenant" (2 Samuel 23:5).
I pray God will deliver somebody as u read through and put it into practice.
God Loves U.
