Scripture:- Matthew 7:6-20
Topic:- I Thought He Knows My Thought
It was a warm semiarid climate weather condition, then I went up to the Altar which He had made in Bethel in the eight months of Bul that has been instituted for the children of Israel.
And I went up to the altar to burn incense sacrifice.
I walked straight to the Altar of Jah, oh!
Could you believe whom I saw? I saw a man in white, blue, and gold robes with a white and gold crown on His head, holding a horse tail and a king staff in His hand.
I walked to Him to ask Him who He is but He mentioned my name even before I got to his place where He was sited.
I was scared and trembled for a strange man to mention my name. He echoed it, “fear not, because I am with you.”
I summoned the courage of moving closer to him, he embraced me and gave me a seat to sit and he crowned me as a king and gave me his staff and horsetail with some beads.
Now, what do you want from me? He asked.
I smiled because I was very mad at him despite his being a king.
Why did you refuse to grant my heart desires? I asked him.
He looked at me as if I am daft and he responded to my question with a question.
Did you ask me anything?
Oh! Stupid question (I thought within myself)
But you have been noticing me on this holy ground for days because I knew you have eagle eyes and I expected you to have known my thought even if I did not ask.
(He smiles) yes, I know your heart desires and even from the belly I formed you and I knew you but have you not read?
That? (I asked)
That, ask and it shall be given to you, knock the door and it shall be opened.
Sir, I thought you already knew my thought. (I responded)
Yes, but if you fail to open your mouth to tender your requests then I will not grant your requests. (He replied)
So it means my journey here is a waste? (I asked)
I don’t know (He responded) but I spoke through Prophet Hosea, my people perished just because they lack wisdom.
Look up (he asked me) what can you see?
Oh! I can see the sun. (I replied)
Very good, this little sun can still dry your wet cloth. Good day.
(I woke up) Oh! this was just a dream.
Prayer Point:-
Oh Lord God, give me the power to pray and pray through henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Lord’s Day! www.timogundelejesu.com
