ASK,SEEK and KNOCK
Posted on: 19-10-2013
Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. Matthew 7:7. This scripture is very popular among every Christian who has read bible. This has been most promising verse given by Lord Jesus Christ. Now let us meditate on this verse with reference to Old Testament, Moses and Aaron were among His priests and Samuel among those who called on His name; they called on Jehovah, and He answered them. Psalms 99:6. Moses seeks and found GOD in bush of fire, when he had been disappointed in his life. Aaron was given the privilege of priest by GOD not known by his works, but due to Mercy of GOD. Samuel heard the voice of GOD and answered the most living HIGH. But the beauty of our most HIGH , living and Magnificent GOD is that who forgave them and yet take VENGEANCE for their deeds. They do not left GOD when they got punished for their deeds, but indeed repented for it and lean more and more in front of HIM. They started to pour out every inner thing of their LIFE which was restricting them in coming near the presence of GOD. But THEY LACKED ONLY ONE THING THE WONDERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. The name which is HIGHER than any other name in the heaven, on earth and below earth. THE GOD was patient with them and because of HIS mercy, he was with them. But the BIBLE further reveals in book of revelations that a time will come, when GOD will not consider their prayers at his JUDGEMENT. We should thank GOD that we have his WORD and his wonderful name JESUS with us. Yet if we disobey how much unworthy we will be at his throne of JUDGEMENT? WILL we be able to bear VENGEANCE of most high GOD ! because at that time : And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. And books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and hell delivered up the dead in them. And each one of them was judged according to their works. Revelation 20:12-13 GOD BLESS YOU IN CHRIST ! AMEN !
