ASK AND KEEP ON ASKING, SEEK AND KEEP ON SEEKING, KNOCK AND KEEP ON KNOCKING
Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. Mathew 7:7 (Amp.)
When we pray for some need, we should pray until we get the answer. Sometimes we pray and we leave the matter, nothing wrong in that as long as we have faith to receive the answer. But praying once and leaving it because of lack of faith or by thinking God is not answering the prayer is not right, we need to persistently pray. Remember the parable Jesus taught us about the widow who persistently requested to the unjust judge and received justice (Lk. 18:1-8). Likewise, we need to be praying until we get our prayers answered.
How about seeking? At times we seek something, we may be seeking God’s will about specific matters, or it may be the direction we need to know, or it may be the Job that we seek, or it may be Godly solution to our problem. And some of you may be seeking what God want you to do in regard to his ministry and kingdom. Well, for sure you will find the answer which you are seeking if you don’t give up seeking.
Keep on knocking. Mathew 16:19 says, …whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. In your life, career and ministry do you see there are some closed doors? Do you see there are some obstacles in your way? Well, keep on knock it, ask God to open it, and keep command the obstacles to be broken. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in spiritual realm and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in spiritual realm. Don’t give up.
Keep on praying, keep on seeking and Keep on knocking until you are answered, until you find it, until the door opened.
