ASK ME
One fountain of genuine answers is God. Confusion is in levels. Their is partial confusion, real confusion and total confusion. Many are wallowing in the pool of total confusion, which is a state of living in error and losing the right foresight. Most leaders, people in power have allowed the wheel of the contaminated earth carry them to the land of frustration and gnashing of teeth. For you to know who to ask and what to ask this edition of Voices From Zion is written Titled: ASK ME from Isaiah 45:11Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
The scripture begins with Thus saith the LORD… whenever you come across that exceptional word in the Bible, it simply referred to Almighty God. It means above all Thus saith the LORD… it is a word that subject every other sayings under. No statements in the old testament of the Bible that is as audacious as Thus saith the LORD… it’s the conclusion of the whole matter. It is the introduction of the new phase, it’s God taken the stage, it’s God Almighty using his vessel as his mouthpiece. Thus saith the LORD… is the answer to (or way out of) all calamities, it’s the end of devil’s attack and the ushering in of God’s work. Thus saith the LORD… it’s one of the statements that makes the Bible authentic and above other books written by men (human). Thus saith the LORD… can also be a declaration against. Exodus 5:1 was what bailed Israel out of the land of Egypt. Moses did nothing except through Thus saith the LORD… because if he says it, then he will prove that he said it, and he will do it because he says it. Thus saith the LORD… is not a statement uttered silently but authoritatively. mostly with loud voice. Exodus 7:17, 2nd Chronicle 20:15, 2nd King 7:1 Thus saith the LORD… is the language of the sent ones each time God sent them with a special message. The second powerful statement is …the Holy One of Israel… It is not referring to the king, the prophets or a well behave personality in Israel. The Holy One of Israel is God Himself that wipes off the iniquity of Israel. Each time these words is rendered, it thus proved some points, they are *I am their righteousness. *It’s not wrong if it is my words. *it’s my wisdom *it’s my way *it’s my thought. You will notice more often that whenever the Holy One of Israel, is used in the Bible, it always places God as the righteousness Isaiah 49:24-26, Psalm 94:23, 2 Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; These two scriptures further proved it 2 Kings 19:22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. Psalm 71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Above all, God is the Holy One Of Israel. In case their sins is the reason behind their wars, he place himself as their righteousness. God is the creator of all but when he becomes your father through salvation you will become different as the Israelites, at that point he’s not just your creator or maker but your father…the Holy One of Israel… the final statements in that scripture says …Ask me of things to come concerning my sons… everyone that has received Jesus as their Saviour is called a child of God because he’s reborn through the blood of Jesus Christ. Any child of God can be challenge or found in danger zone yet we can ask of God concerning him. Jesus was talking to his disciples and he said. The following bible scenes breathes deeper understanding. Peter was in the interest of Satan, he wanted him turned away from Jesus but Jesus…said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: * But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32
Peter won all Satan’s temptations and stood after Jesus ascension. If we can table the matter of any son of God before God in prayers he will hear us concerning him.
Peter in prison of Herod is relevant at the moment and more glaring. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Acts 12:5 The Church engaged God for Peter’s deliverance. In order for God to act on our behalf and to prove his presence with us, he always awaits us to call before he intervenes. At times you might be praying for someone and no result is forth coming, there may be need to lead such to Christ or counsel them before bringing their matter before God again. Praying for a sick unbeliever, troubled unbeliever no matter who they are to you might be a waste of time, if you can witness Jesus Christ to them and they received him with absolute conviction then God will make all things well. God is always out to save souls. So many had been healed and delivered and yet nailed Jesus Christ to the cross. The end time heaven’s agenda is God looking for more sons and the devil seeking for whom to devour. Until you give your life to Christ totally and live by grace propagating his kingdom; you won’t have his attention. God value your souls much more than your possession. Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. When you become his son then you have your lots with him, he’ll become your heavenly father on the instants, you’ll become a very important personality to him but without him you will rot in hell someday. Some secret sinners have put the efforts of children of God praying for them to vain. If you must always receive divine help, then you have to give your life to Christ.
…and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. The work of His hands Could be what he has already done or is currently doing. The truth is that, testimony may be challenged. Whatever God has done for you may come under severe attack, most times to test our faith, or might be an evil arrow from the wicked. God can give you a thing that the devil will contest for. He’s still contesting with Israelite till now. So a testimony is God’s handiwork but can be challenged. God won’t give you a sickly child but if it happened call God the maker of babies. God won’t give you a devilish woman as a wife but if it happened, call God till he answers you. When what God has done for us is challenged call him for help. The main attack points of the devil are:
- Our Health: In God’s originality of creating human, sickness wasn’t part of the make-up, in fact Satan was not there. Most sickness is as a result of devilish attack either by luring us into some odd things or attacking you directly, whatever, he’s behind it. Here is God’s antidote for his sons and daughters. James 5:13-15 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. *Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: *And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
- Our Marriage: Some want to get marry, some are married and wish they are not. Go back to God the creator of the institution of marriage and he’ll help you correct the wrongs. No principle of men that you might have read will bring lasting solution to marital issues. Until God steps-in, you are still all alone in there. Go to God sincerely with Genesis 2:18-25
- Our Finance: Some are baptized into the pool of debt. Lack and want are the order of the day for some fellows. If you earn much and still live low then you are poor. If your life doesn’t depict financial rest, you need help. Why not pray to God; let him show you where you have been wrong and what to do. Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
ASK ME
The way out of confusion and frustration is to ask God about it. A brother shared this experience he said sometimes ago I was confused about marrying a girl that actually loved me and really wanted me. I prayed about it myself and refused to talk to anyone about it, later that month I dream about a he-goat being pursued about from eating up what some people were selling. When I woke up and I prayed about it, I heard a voice, the girl is the he-goat. Thank God I didn’t marry her, because she’s still a he-goat till now, I pray for her change of story.
You can go to God individually to ask him questions about yourself, what you want to embark upon, your business, ministry, family, a particular happening, or about others and he will answer you. Let’s read this fascinating and eye opening story in the Bible. Daniel 2:1-6 , 10-11, 16-23
You can ask God questions. For your fear to end and get accomplished…command ye me he said.
Let’s Pray:
- Lord Jesus let all my marital Crisis comes to an end today.
- Lord Jesus let every Battle on my Health comes to final end today.
- No more financial crisis in my life.
Prophecy:
- Receive grace to ask God questions and wait for answers.
- You shall not fall anymore.
- Favour and goodwill, will begin to look for you.
- You shall know what to do to be free.
- Your spiritual eyes and ear shall be opened to hear from God your father in Jesus name.
