```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*
Mark 6:47-49
Mark 6:47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and HE alone on the land.
6:48 And He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
From our text for today, we saw that, Jesus saw His disciples in trouble right in the middle of the sea but yet rose up and was almost passing them when they suddenly cried out. Why would you see your very own, the people you testified about saying "all things I have heard of my father, I have made known to you because you are my friends". John 15. Jesus saw them in trouble and came but wasn't going to turn to them or say a single word to them not until when they saw Him passing and they cried out.
So many people have been assuming that God kbkws their case and thus they don't need to ask Him for anything. But the scripture says, "the reason why you do not have is because you do not ask".
So many even think by asking, they are bothering God but how can you bother the one who said "you should cast ALL your cares upon Him because He cares for you?".
Just in verse 51 we saw how that peace was restored when Jesus entered into the ship but this was the same Jesus who just wanted to pass by them.
*Insights For Today: He will not bother to come if you do not care to invite Him. Until the Prince of peace steps in, you may not have true peace.*
*_Prayer Point: Commit all you desire into His hands and ask Him to bring to reality that which you need now.. Keep walking by faith_*
