have you ever prayed for something and
got it maybe you prayed for a promotion
a healing a relationship to breakthrough
but let me ask you this what did you do
after you got what you were praying for
did you keep on praying or did you stop
did you thank God or did you forget him
did you honor him with your blessing or
did you ignore him God is good amen he
is faithful to him answer our prayers
and bless us with his favor but
sometimes we forget to thank him and
praise him for what he has done we get
so busy enjoying our blessings that we
neglect our relationship with him we
stop praying we stop reading his word we
stop attending church we stop serving
others we act like we don’t need him
anymore but let me tell you something my
my friend you need God more than ever
when you get what you were praying for
because that’s when the enemy will try
to steal your joy your peace your health
your wealth your family your purpose
that’s when you will face new challenges
new Temptations new oppositions that’s
when you will need God’s grace God’s
wisdom God’s protection God’s guidance
God’s strength don’t make the mistake of
thinking that you can handle everything
on your own don’t let your blessings
become a curse don’t let your success
become a failure don’t let your Victory
become a defeat don’t let your
breakthrough become a breakdown the
Bible says in Thessalonians to
hej always pray continually give thanks
in all circumstances for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus Jesus
notice that it doesn’t say pray until
you get what you want then stop it says
pray continually that means keep on
praying even after you get what you were
praying for why because prayer is not
just a way to ask God for something
prayer is a way to connect with God to
communicate with him to fellowship with
him to worship him to honor him to love
him prayer is a way to express your
gratitude your appreciation your
admiration your devotion your loyalty
your commitment to him prayer is a way
to acknowledge that everything you have
comes from him and belongs to him prayer
is a way to declare that he is the
source of your life and the reason for
your existence prayer is a way to affirm
that he is the Lord of your heart and
the king of your soul
prayer is a way to align yourself with
his will and is plan for your life
prayer is a way to receive his Direction
and his instruction for every situation
you face prayer is a way to access his
power and his provision for every need
you have prayer is a way to maintain
your intimacy and your closeness with
him prayer is a way to grow in your
faith and your maturity in him prayer is
a way to experience his presence and his
peace in every moment of your day so
don’t stop praying when you get what you
were praying for keep on praying even
more keep on thanking him for what he
has done keep on praising him for who he
is keep on asking him for what he wants
to do next in your life remember this
the same God who gave you what you were
praying for can also take it away way if
you don’t honor him with it the same God
who opened the door for you can also
close it if you don’t walk through it
with him the same God who lifted you up
can also bring you down if you don’t
stay humble before him so don’t take God
for granted don’t ignore him or neglect
him or forget him or forsake Him don’t
let go of his hand or drift away from
his side or turn away from his face or
walk away from his voice stay connected
to him through prayer stay dependent on
him through prayer stay faithful to him
through prayer Pray even after you get
what you were praying for that’s how you
show God that you love him more than
anything else that’s how you show God
that he is more than enough for you
that’s how you show God that he is still
number one in your life and when you do
that my friend I believe and declare
that God will do even more for you than
you can ask or imagine he will bless you
beyond measure he will favor you beyond
reason he will increase you beyond
limits he will enlarge your territory he
will multiply your influence he will
accelerate your destiny he will do
exceedingly abundantly above all that
you ever dreamed of because he loves you
more than anything else and he wants the
best for you amen
Amen
