GOD WHO HEARS US
One of the names given to our Lord Jesus Christ is “One who hear Prayers” In Job 22.27, it states thus “When you pray, He will answer you and you will keep the vows you made” So, when we look at Him and pray, we will succeed what we ask in prayer.
Proverbs 28.13 says, “You will never succeed in life, if you try to hide your sins. Confess and give them up. Then God will show mercy to you”. From this, we understand that when we set ourselves right by confessing our sins and repent, then God will hear us when we call upon him.
Again Proverbs 28.9, Says, “If you do not obey the law of God, God will find your prayers too hateful to hear”. When one does not listen to the words of God, and do not meditate them day and night, his prayers also will not be granted by God.
In 1 John 5:14, we see that we have courage in God’s presence because we are sure that he hears us if we ask Him for anything that is according to His will.
So we infer that when we pray and give our petition according to His will, surely God will listen to our requests and grant them with all His fullness”.
In Acts 13.22, we see that after removing King Saul from throne, God anointed David as the King of Israel. This is what is said about him in the Bible “I have found that David son of Jesse is the kind of man I like, a man who will do all I want him to do”
David subjected all his deeds to the will of God. He did with all prayers and supplications. So he made David “As King and detained Saul. Thus our God of Gods witnessed about David as a kind of man. I like, a man who will do all I want him to do
“What a great privilege to King David! So whenever we go to pray, let us subject ourselves to the will of God and pray as David did. Definitely God will grant our petitions. Amen Glory to God
