“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 KJV

This morning, as I awoke, I found myself reflecting on the journey of faith, often marked by moments of discouragement. Despite these challenges, it is crucial for us to remain steadfast in our resolve.

In my contemplation, certain scriptures resonated in my mind, reminding me that some prayers are swiftly answered while others have an appointed time. The passage from 2 Corinthians 1:20 states, “For all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” This serves as a potent reminder that sometimes, a mere knock or two on a door isn’t sufficient. Some doors remain closed, yet to be opened by God. It’s vital for us to persist in our pursuit, to seek His guidance, and to delve deeper into His word. The act of persistent knocking serves as a testament to our unwavering perseverance, and in due course, that very door shall swing open, never to be shut.

We will transition into the next phase of our lives through unwavering persistence. Let us not surrender to despair. Instead, let us challenge Satan’s deceit and passionately claim the inheritance that awaits us, trusting in God’s promises.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint” Luke 18:1 (KJV)

We’ve got to continue to pray and not lose hope.

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8 KJV

The red words in the text symbolize the words spoken by Christ. This signifies that Christ is the one who will present the door before us, guiding us on our path.

Beloved, stay cheerful, keep praying, and obey Him. Watch him bring about a magnificent result!
