KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 15:16 KJV. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
We now consider the last aspect of our key scripture. It says God answers those who successfully preserve their fruits. It says, whatsoever that such people would ask the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus, would be answered by the Father. God hears the prayers of all who call on Him. Those who obey Him by winning souls and preserving them have a special standing with God. God always honours those who honour Him. 1 Samuel 2:30
In Matt 10:32 and 33 the Lord speaking to His disciples said, if you are afraid to testify of me before men, I will also not testify of you among the angels. He observed that when men testify of Him to other men, He would likewise announce them to the angels, who would become more vigilant about that individual. The Bible says the angels are ministering spirits for the heirs of salvation. Heb 2:14, in the light of these two statements then, the man who wins souls and maintains them would surely have a higher angelic ministry. It is these angels who go on assignment to bring answers to those who please God.
In the light of all that have been discussed above, what would be your attitude to serving God, in the area of winning souls and keeping them in the Lord? One reality of serving Christ is having answers to your prayers. Prov. 13:12 KJV” Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.” Life becomes more meaningful when our desires are realised through answered prayer.
THOUGHT: MAKE GOD REAL TO YOU, BY PLEASING HIM ALWAYS, AS HE ALSO PROMPTLY RESPONDS TO YOU.
