A
reminder for today
But
if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you
want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true
disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. (John 15:7-8)
What do you want, my friend? Everybody wants something or
desires something. People want bigger or faster cars or maybe a new house or
nice clothing or maybe new sunglasses or a fancy holiday or maybe a new job
that pays more money. With the continuous increase of inflation and prices that
is always on the rise there is always a need for more money. The world demands
more so the consumer must fork out more or be happy with less.
So if we look at the way the world changes it is hard for
us to comprehend this: But if you remain
in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it
will be granted! Jesus gave us a promise that everything we ask for
will be granted, but He clearly states that we must remain in Him and He must remain
in us. To me this directly talks about our faith. We must remain faithful in
Him as He remains in us and then we can ask for anything. The problem is we are
all jackpot winner type of people, because when we ask we want it now. God
knows what we need and He will give what we need when He knows it is the best
time. What we must keep in mind is that it is all about God and His glory so
when God blesses us by granting what we ask for it must go hand in hand with
His glory. So God will give when we remain faithful in Him and when we receive it
glorifies His name.
So today I want to remind you that we can ask anything
from God, but we must remain in Him and He in us then it will be granted, because
then we become true disciples that will produce much fruit.
Lord, guide us when we ask so that we will remain
faithful in you and become true disciples so that we can glorify you in all we
do and in all we are. In Jesus name.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
