KEY SCRIPTURE: John 16:24 KJV” Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

The Lord is always good. He says that we must ask the Father all that we desire in His name and the Father will do it for us, so that our joy may be full. The Lord Jesus came so that men would know joy and be fulfilled in their lives. Throughout the scriptures, it has been the desire of God to see that all men are joyful. This is what the Lord is talking about. He says ask and receive so that your joy may be full. There are many Christians who are wondering whether God still answers prayers. Some even wonder whether the Lord is that predictable. Well, the Lord is predictable.

God has given out His words on various matters. If one acts according to the word He would respond just as He said, He would do. The Lord says His ears are opened to the cries of the righteous. What are His terms for answering prayers?

1. He says we must ask in the name of our Lord Jesus. John 16:23

2. When you ask believe that He has given it Mark 11:24

3. Receive your answer by faith. Mark 11:24

4. Thank Him for giving you your answer.1 Thess 5:18

If you would not doubt His faithfulness to answer your request and stand on His word, you would surely see His goodness unto you.

Dear brother or sister God wants you very happy and living a very victorious life. Get testimonies of those who experienced God’s blessings and listen to how they made it. Always remember that the same God overall is rich unto all that call upon Him. Rom 10:12. Remember also that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, His faithfulness is unto all generations and will do for you just as He has done for them. Now take the steps of faith as they did, trusting the Lord to honour His word. God is good all the time, and you would soon experience His power in your life as well.
