Rhapsody of Realities, November 7th 2024, HE DELIGHTS IN FULFILLING YOUR DESIRES

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

…Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24).

Observe what the Lord Jesus said in our opening scripture; He clarifies that we can ask the Father anything in His Name, and it will be granted. When you walk in love, your desires naturally align with His; therefore, you won’t ask for anything outside His will. He thus encourages us to ask and receive so that our joy may be full. What a blessed invitation! It shows the Father’s desire to bless us. Unlike earthly parents or others who may become weary of too many requests, God never grows weary of our many requests. He delights in answering us and fulfilling our desires.Therefore, when you ask, believe that you receive.

Jesus did not say to ask and wait indefinitely; He said to ask and receive. This means from the moment you ask, start rejoicing and acting as though you already received because, in the spirit, it’s done.We often deal with disappointments from people who don’t keep their promises, but God is not like that. He is faithful, and He keeps His Word. Humans may fail, forget, or disappoint, but God never fails. 1 Peter 3:12 says, For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers Hallelujah!In Hebrews 13:5 (AMPC), the Bible says, For He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]. Ponder those words for a moment and be overwhelmed by the Father’s love and desire for you to live in fullness of joy, peace, confidence, dominion and victory every day. He delights in you and in fulfilling your desires.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for our privilege and authority in prayer, and my joy is made full. I refuse to doubt or waver because your Word is ever dependable, ever-sure and ever-trustworthy. Thank you for always hearing me and granting my petitions, for indeed, your Word is yes and amen, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Matthew 7:7-11* Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

*Mark 11:24* Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].

*1 John 5:14-15*And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
