Title: What Do Really Want?
Memorize: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 2:9 (Nkjv)
[9] And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
Message:
If you have an opportunity to meet God face to face today and He asks you what you want, would you know what to say?
In today’s Bible reading, Elijah asked Elisha what he wanted. Elisha requesteda double portion of Elijah’s anointing, and he got it.
He asked and got what he wanted because he knew what he wanted beforehand.
Years ago, I attended an international Conference where a mightų man of God allowed us to ask for what we wanted for our ministries.
Others asked for books, tracts, and financial assistance, but I asked him to lay his anointed hands on me for the work of the ministry.
He was impressed with my request, and he prayed for me. Today, everyone can testify to the faithfulness of God in RCCG.
My dear child, I encourage you to dedicate more time in prayer to ask God what His purpose for your life is.
It is only when you know His purpose for your life that you can align your wants and requests with His will and fulfil your destiny.
Reflection:
What do you desire the most from God?
HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOR
1 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
REFRAIN:
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
2 Let me, at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
3 Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
4 Thou, the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me.
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav’n but Thee?
Bible In One Year: Luke 7:31-50, Judges 3-5
