BE PERSISTENT

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: BE PERSISTENT

....CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY MESSAGE

The first key to answered prayer is PERSISTENCE -- which means "to hold fast to," or hold onto tightly. God wants us to hold on tightly to His promises in prayer. Don't let disappointment cause you to let go of your faith.

The man in the parable didn't give up when his neighbor turned down his initial request. Jesus pointed out that the neighbor wouldn't get up and give him anything just because he was the man's friend. But because of his persistence, he would eventually get up and give him what he needed.

The Greek language in Luke 11:10 can be translated, "ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you."

If we call on God, He promises to answer! But we must wait on the Lord and let Him answer our prayers in His perfect timing. Many times the greatest trial comes just before the answer arrives; it often seems darkest just before dawn.
but surely all shall be well. Weeping may tarry for a night, joy come in the morning. Be persistent.

LET US PRAY
MAY THE LORD ANSWER YOUR LONG AWAITED MIRACLE WITH A BUNDLE OF JOY, AND MAY YOUR DAYS OF WAITING BE OVER IN JESUS NAME.
