John 15:16 KJV
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”.
God is a prayer answering God. He delights in hearing us pray, and takes pleasure in giving us answers as well. But the way God answered your prayers in times past is not the same way He would want to answer it as you mature in the faith. As a baby in the Lord, God moved at your slightest cry, but now that you are mature, or should have matured; He will place certain conditions.
One of the ways to get God to answer your prayers quickly and easily is to touch His heart on things that occupy the center of His heart. He expects that you should have matured to the point where you now know what pleases Him. As we know, fruit bearing pleases God a lot, and He wants our fruit to remain. These fruits are souls.
A time comes in your life when your life will progress according to your level of fruitfulness. There are certain prayers of yours that God may not be obliged to answer because He has seen that His kingdom will not be better off, as a result of that blessing. A time comes when God expects that all that appertains to you would be about souls and His kingdom. There is a realm of relationship with God where WHATSOEVER you ask of Him is granted, but that would be on the condition of fruitfulness in souls. Be the kind of believer that would do anything to produce souls and God will do anything to make sure your prayers are answered.
Receive grace to produce fruit of souls to God in Jesus Name.
