God Answers Prayers

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Does God answer prayers? Yes. Are you sure? Definitely. But certainly not all prayers? How do you mean? Well, prayers to make wealth. Beloved, God answers such prayers and is waiting for you to ask. The God who gives you power to make as stated in His word answers prayers on wealth creation if prayed to Him by His children who desire to do so.

The Biblical Jabez born with quite a number of minuses petitioned God for a number of pluses including the plus of wealth creation. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verse 9 to 10. God honored that prayer and gave Jabez everything he requested for.

Jacob practically ran away from home without a dime after outsmarting his elder brother Esau to get the birthright. On Jacob’s way to Padan Aram, he requested wealth from God. Though Laban the Uncle he lived with at Padan Aram also tried to outwit Jacob severally; significantly, God blessed Jacob with overflowing wealth, some of which he shared with his brother Esau. Genesis  Chapter 28 verses 20 to 21 Genesis Chapter 33 verses 8 to 10.

The widow of the son of the indebted prophet also asked God for financial empowerment and provision when she took her woes of the family financial indebtedness which threatened debt bondage of her two sons to the Prophet Elisha. As she implemented the divine strategies given to her by God through Prophet Elisha for wealth creation, she discovered wealth and was free of financial lack and indebtedness. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.

Beloved, God desires to bless His children with abundant wealth (see 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to 8)  but the big question is, are His children willing to ask Him, pray to Him so that He will show and teach them how to accumulate such wealth? Please see Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 29.

Find the Money 3

To find the money, there are certain limitations and hindrances to money making that you should pay attention to closely in order not to be trapped by them. They include:

}  Refusal to pay tithes and give offerings

This manifest in refusal to tithe, inconsistent tithing, inaccurate tithing, refusal to give offerings, and even when you give, the offerings are stingy. The quality of the tithe (that is the mindset/attitude inn giving the tithe such as this is it, stop disturbing me coupled with the packaging of the tithe as well as presentation are critical determinants of genuine and sincere tithing. Also important is the source of the tithe; is it from the hire of a dog, prostitution, robbery, blood money?

Other forms of limitations and hindrances include outright refusal to support kingdom work (Haggai Chapter 1), consistent disobedience to God, rebellion( Deuteronomy Chapter 28), idolatry (Judges Chapter 7, 1^st Kings Chapter 17 and 18), dishonesty (Proverbs Chapter 13 verse 11), idle chatter (Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 22), laziness and frivolity (Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 6 to 11, 20 verses 4 and 13, 24 verses 30 to 34, 12 verse 11, 28 verse 19), giving to the rich and oppressing the poor (Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 16), profligacy (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 17, 23 verses 20 to 21, 6 verse 26, the prodigal son), haste (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 5b), overwork (Proverbs Chapter 23 verses 4 to 5).

Do away with hatred as hatred impoverishes. Please see Psalm 89 verse 23, Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verse 15, 1^st John Chapters 3 verses 11 to 15; 4 verse 20, Revelation Chapter 21 verse 8, Galatians Chapter 5 verses 19 to 22, Genesis Chapter 27 verse 41 (Esau and Jacob), Genesis Chapter 37 note verses 4 to 5, 8, 11, 19 to 20, 25 to 28 (Joseph and his brothers), 2^nd Samuel Chapter 13 verses 15 to 16, 22 to 33, Ezekiel Chapters 35; 36 verse 5, Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 18.

Reject pride and pray against it. Please see Deuteronomy Chapters 6 verses 10 to 13; 8 verse 10 to 18, Ezekiel Chapters 28 verses 1 to 17; 31 verses 1 to 10, Daniel Chapter  4 , 2^nd Chronicles Chapters 26 verses 15 to 21; 32 verses 25 to 26, Ezekiel Chapter 16 verses 1 to 15.
