"For everyone who asks will receive and annyone who seeks will find and the door will be opened to him who knocks". (Mat. 7:8)

Greetings to all the Moslems and thank you for dedicating yourself for a special relationship wit God, surely as you cerebrate Idd, know that God has already blessed you!

My reader I welcome you once again here, I believe the Lord has blessed you abandantly. I understand you have been praying pretty much to have the grace of the Lord uopn you and have at times wondered why you are in that trying moment. You have even tried to challenge the Lord for a blessing!

But in doing all that, have you ever wondered what plans the Lord has for you? And how many times have you laboured to listen to the voice of the Lord?

More often people miss opportunities while many have fallen into problems just because they have failed to listen to what the Lord is telling them!

For one to claim his rights as the true son of God, he/she must obediently listen to the commands and guidance which God is persistently comunicating through his holy spirit.


I understand that you are trying hard to get a solution from God, but do you bother listening to what he is telling you? There is only one procedure of having a personal conversation with God; Listening!

Heven't you realised that in your prayers you have been doing the talking leaving the listening only to your God? This means you have not given him a chance of talking back to you, just because you are not listening.

The fact that God listens to everything that you communicate to him means that he has been labouring to talk back to you but because you think you don't have time, or because you think you have alot to tell him, you have never provided chance for him also to tell you what you should do. Sometimes you may hear his voice but because you have not paid attention, you end up missing the whole information.

Mathew 6:6-8 cautions us against using meaningless words while praying. This implies that because God knows what we want to tell him even before we could say it, we should always just pay attention to what he has to tell us than what we are saying to him!

We all know that God is a spirit, unless when you believe otherwise. So because God is a spiritual being, he talk to us through our spirits. This implies that when you go tompraybefore God, you should go in spirit ready to talk to a spiritual being. This will help you not to miss a point. Our Lord Jesus teaches us this when he commands us to lock ourselves in prayers.

While praying, know that you are entering into a personal conversation with a spirit. In this way you should pay attention to that small still voice within you. It is the voice of God parked with wisdom guidance and commands that will help you come out of that situation. It is easy to miss that voice or to disregard it when you enter into prayer in a physical you or when you look at God as a physical being.

Remember God promised to fulfil his promises to whoever follows his commands. How will you then follw his commands when you are not listening?
