KEYS TO UNLOCK
THE SEED
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” Matthew 7:7
Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the body, and knocking is an effort to open and pass-through obstacles. In the scripture above, Jesus Christ has given us His full assurance that any time we apply the appropriate keys of asking, seeking, and knocking, we will surely get answers. In this regard, God always says yes to our requests when they fall in line with His will. However, we often don’t come to Him because we are relying on ourselves to get what we want.
We feel confident enough to rely on our own intellect and connections to secure what we want, and it ends up not working out. Another reason we don’t ask God is because we think, “God knows what I need; I shouldn’t have to ask.” Although God does know what we need, He still wants us to ask instead of expecting. If God just handed everything to us without even asking, there would be no growth taking place in us; everything would come too easily. Part of the reason why we are to ask, seek, and knock is for spiritual growth to occur.
Dearly beloved, when we do make our requests before God using the appropriate keys, we should believe that God is able. He might not always be willing, but He is able.
PRAYER
O Lord, grant unto me the grace to ask, seek and find according to Your will in Jesus name. BIBLE READINGS: 1John 5:13-15
