When a masquerade dances well, its guide is happy. A man told his son who had just succeeded in securing an admission into the university to ask whatever he wants and he will do it for him. After the first day, his son is yet to come up with a request, the 2nd day passed, yet, there was no request from the son. On the 3rd day, the man called his son, son, why have you not asked a thing? This is the 3rd day, are you still thinking about what to request? His son answered in a timid voice, how could I asked, when I know you have just lost your job! His father looked at him straight in the eye and asked in a harsh tone: Who is on the hot seat here? Who need to fulfill his promise? Who made the promise? He told his son, point of correction, I didn’t lose my job, I quitted starting my own company because I got a contract enough to sustain the company for the next 10 years.
This little story reminded me of what Jesus told his disciples. He said in John 16:24
“ Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.” As compared to the abundance of what the Father has for His children, the disciples did not ask. Are the present disciples of the lord Jesus asking better than the former?
God made a lot of promises, He is the one on the hot seat; He is the one responsible to bring every promise to pass, but like that man who made a promise to his son, our God is more than capable. But most of the promises He made to us seems not to be available, or are they? If they are, every true disciples of Jesus; every bona fide child of God should enjoy the abundance of resources
