EFFECTIVE PRAYERS - Mentioning Your Specific Need

Ask and you shall receive; and make your requests be known unto God are two promises I base my reference on when I go to the Lord with my needs. He assured us that whatever it is we desire, we make it known unto him in prayer and that whatever we pray in the name of Jesus, that we shall receive. He is a loving father and he will always give you that which you asked for. He says, no father can give a son a snake when he asked for fish or a stone when he asked for bread.

Yes! God knows what is best for you and me and not everything we ask will he release to you immediately, it may take some time before you receive it or at times he may have to take you through training first so that you may be able to handle it when he gives it to you. But he

eventually at the right time gives you what you ask for.

How many times do we go before God praying not really sure what we exactly want. We give God the right to choose what it is he wants for us. You may be asking God for a fiancée but you don’t say what you want exactly. God gave us the right to choose, when we don’t make a choice on our own, it takes longer for us to receive our promise. This is because, God will give you time to come up with what you want or rather to make up your mind totally.

God won’t always give you what you want just because you want it now, he knows the best time to release it but you make it difficult for yourself when you are not sure what you want. Be specific, don’t tell him to give you a promotion, say how much you want to be promoted to. Don’t ask for a house, say how you want it; describe it. Don’t just ask for a wife or husband; say how you want him/her to be. Don’t just ask for a job; say which job you want. 

 

God meets us at our level of expectations. He told the Israelites that wherever the soles of your feet shall tread, that shall I give unto you. In other words, you will receive exactly what you want. When manna dropped from heaven, you could collect as much as you want. There was no limit of how small or how much you would take as long as you don’t keep to the following day. He says expand the place of your tent and lengthen your stakes for you shall expand to the left and to the right. So the far you expand to is where your expansion will reach. 

Being specific makes you grow spiritually, your faith grows when you are specific and then you see God fulfilling it. You will be able to walk in faith and even do more exploit. I don’t want something to happen to me and I don’t know if it is God that did it for me, or maybe they want something in return. When you know what you asked for, you will be expecting it and whichever door it comes through, you will know that it is a parcel straight from God. You shall therefore know your God and do exploits for his glory.
