God is not Deaf or Mute

Happy New week everyone,

It is important to pray, but when you keep on repeating the same thing over and over and you don’t see any positive changes, it means one thing, God has spoken to you, but you didn’t listen. First of all, we don’t serve a God that is deaf or mean who won’t want to respond till your tear dock is dry, rather we serve an ever-merciful God and is our ever help in time of need, so why would He be quiet as things get worse, not remaining the same? Jesus said He is the light of the world (ref.: John 8:12), and what does light do? It illuminates the area, which means it allows people to see better, it gives hope, it saves lives, and He now has given us the mandate by telling us to go out to be salt and light to the world (ref.: Matthew 5:13-15).

To be the salt and the light of the world doesn’t mean you should just pray in your closet alone, that is putting your light under a bushel. Salt is a natural seasoning which improves the cooking, it improves, brings to light a good taste, sort of like coming to the rescue, the same is also said of light. Light is very essential, for without it there would be chaos, this would mean that to be the light is to bring peace, and by bringing peace is to bring transformation.

To pray is to communicate with God by making requests in some cases, but the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY whom I serve communicates with His children, He isn’t mute, He speaks, and when you speak to Him through prayers He responds by giving us answers. He tells us what to do which brings the result we’ve always wanted. Look through the Bible, there wasn’t a time God didn’t respond, and if it appears He doesn't, many times He had given you instructions on what to do earlier, you just need to remember what He said.

To be the salt and light of the world, you must walk with God by putting your ears down to listen to what He has to say after you’ve made your prayers. The Bible says in Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Your light has to shine through your works, this is the only way the world can be transformed.

Remember our God wants a dialogue with His children, He is our ever present help in time of need, He is ever merciful, and He is not deaf and not mute.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
