Many today are having problems with receiving from God. Their belief in God has been seriously affected by their experiences of prayers going unanswered. Does God still answer prayers? The answer is ‘YES, HE DOES!’ How can we receive from this invisible God? The first thing we need to be established in, is our understanding of God’s nature. He is not unwilling to give us what we need to meet our material and temporal needs. He is also interested and committed to our spiritual needs too! God governs His Kingdom with principles. His ways can be seen in the Bible. All His operations are based on principles and we can see His patterns in the Bible. Let us understand His nature:- HE IS UNCHANGING IN HIS NATURE James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. John 3:27 - John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Numbers 23:19 - God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. HE IS BENEVOLENT! Psalm 34: 9-10 - O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psalm 84:11 - For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Rev. Kola Ewuosho
