Title: Gods Blank Check
Memorize: If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:14 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: John 15:16 (Nkjv)
[16] You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
Message:
In today’s memory verse, Jesus gave His followers a blank cheque. Unfortunately, however, not all Christians have taken advantage of this blank cheque.
The question is, how can you obtain and take advantage of this divine blank cheque? To have access to the divine blank cheque, you must win souls for Christ and follow them up until they are strong in the Lord.
Then, you can ask God for whatever you want in His name, and He will do it for you. When you seek God’s kingdom first above all else, He will give you everything that you could need (Matthew 6:33).
I have always said that God is a playwright who has written the script of everything that is happening on the earth.
In 1 Kings 3:5-14, when God gave Solomon a blank cheque, He already knew the end from the beginning.
He knew that Solomon would ask for wisdom to rule God’s people, so when he did, He added riches, peace, and everything else a man could ever want.
When God sees that you have a heart that is interested in the salvation of souls and the establishment of His kingdom on the earth, you will get everything you need from Him and not struggle for them.
Prayer Point:
Seek after the kingdom of God, and all other things will be added to you.
Hymn 33 – GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH!
1 Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
Feed me now and evermore,
Feed me now and evermore.
2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer! Strong deliverer!
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises! Song of praises!
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.
4 Saviour, come! we long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love,
Come, Lord Jesus! Come Lord Jesus!
Take Thy waiting people home,
Take Thy waiting people home.
