Question: Why do we “use” God as a dispensary for blessings?
Our prayers are shallow, and we spend just a few minutes giving God our ‘wish list,’ and go on with our day never giving another thought about God. Christianity is not about what we can get out of God!
Why?
Our prayer and devotional lives become stale and we lack the power of the Holy Spirit that we so desperately need. Brethren,this should not be! Something must change.
James 4:1-4 (v.3) “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”
Matthew 7:7-8 ” Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
God wants us to walk in direct fellowship with Him, He wants us to be Spirit-filled, and He wants to bless us.
What is the answer?
The simple solution is to immerse ourselves in God’s Word (it is our spiritual food), to have a meaningful prayer life (after all, that is how we communicate with God), and to keep our hearts clean from sin (“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9).
