   Prayer Requests:
        I God Why? Pray for me!
 
Hello,
I am having a hard time dealing with people around me being blessed! I have been praying for a financial blessing for a long time! My friends who don't even practice christianity are being blessed. I realize that I am not suppose to question God,or have feelings of anger and ask him why? Why? not me Lord! I am a christian women, I serve you! I teach Sunday School. I try to live a christian life! Pray for me, I am in need also. Pray for me, I don't understand?

Hi guest,

I know one chapter that is right for you. Read [Psalm 37].

Here's a section from it...

[Psalm 37:1-6]
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

God's timing is always the best. We don't see the results sometimes yet, but it's there. Because His Word says it, so I believe it.

I think in my life, God has given me many other harvests. There were times when I felt like you, but then I'm reminded that between sowing and reaping is a season. All of us are in different seasons of our lives. But when we're waiting, we wait with faith and hope, rejoicing.

The other thing is that you need to learn from the Word of God as to what areas in your life that you need to continue sowing the seeds. Your harvest is based on the seeds that you sow.

[Romans 5:3-5]
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Hey our hope in God does not disappoint us. He will not disappoint us.

Father in Heaven,

I pray that You give this guest the revelation of Your grace and yes, Lord, that You are a keeper of Your promises. We need to walk in Your ways and walk in faith. I pray that You encourage this guest and show her that Your grace is sufficient for her, not based on her works but because of Your love for her. I pray for Your financial blessing for her and that You will expedite Your blessings.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Father,
Guide this sister's path and uphold her. Bless her in all areas of her life. Let Your wisdom be upon her and let it be increased each day. Let the wisdom guide her to obtain wealth. Fulfil the desires of her heart Father. Show her how to succeed and chase after her dreams. Let her have supernatural favour in the eyes of others. Guide her Lord and be real in her life. I pray all these in Jesus's name. Amen

Sister,
one of the most important word in the Word of God is "seed". You have to sow seeds. God has given us the law of Seedtime and harvest (Gen 8:22, which is the only law that we can affect, out of the four). Sow seeds for your harvest. I'm not just talking about tithing and offering (though these two have the utmost importance), I'm also talking about be excellent in your work. Work unto the Lord (that means, give your best no matter what). Look at Joseph and Daniel. Joseph had nothing going for him when he is being robbed of his inheritance and sold as a lowly slave. Do you think Joseph can control all the Egytian captain's household and wealth if he is bitter, miserable and project negativity and struggling with God? (Gen 38) Even when he is robbed again by the captain's wife, he rose up out of his seemingly despair situation and tried his best to have a positive spirit and be excellent in his position at any given time, even when he was a prisoner in prison. The Lord was with him but the Lord is with you too (Matt 28:20). So u ask why aren't I a rich woman yet or as successful as Joseph? Sister, all the blessings of God has been given to you and you have already harvested some harvests. In all the harvests that came there is a seed for the coming harvest. Don't use it, cos if u do, what about the coming harvest? The seed wasn't planted and the harvest won't be reaped. A man's harvest in life depends entirely upon his sowing (Gal 6:7, Phillips).
When you have the blessings of time, sow your time as your doing now (ie serving in your local church and do visitations to encourage others), when you have your current job, (in whatever position, remember Joseph was a prisoner and Daniel was an exile), sow your best working attitude, do the extra mile, don't do just enough, go beyond the expectations, always seeking and on the lookout for sowing extra, do more, be exuberant, confess favour, feel the tangible presence of God by your side. I assure you wealth will come and your situation will be turned around because for your sakes, though He was rich even while on earth, He became poor on the cross, so that you, through his poverty will become rich. Sow even when you don't feel like it because those who sow in tears shall reap in joy (Psa 126 :5)
God sees your serving and He knows your heart. He will bless you with wealth because He loves you and the grace of grace not because of your performance. Live in abundance and search His word dilligently and work dilligently and let his wisdom has free course in you and prosperity will be drawn to you like a magnet.
