```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: GOD SEEKERS - AFRAID TO ASK? Part 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Luke  9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

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.*

The bible said in James 4:2 that one of the major reason why we don't receive is simply because we don't ask. You could imagine how close the disciples were with Jesus and yet, Jesus made a statement which they could not understand and because of fear, they refused to ask Him and Jesus knew their mind but refused to answer.

And I began to wonder, was Jesus not going to answer them if they had asked? Surely, He would have answered but they didn't have enough boldness to ask and to confirm that Jesus knew what was in their mind, just the next few verses, they reasoned among themselves who should be the greatest but they didn't care to ask Him and yet He answered them. Why then didn't He answer that question?

Many Christians today are like these disciples, they are close to God but they are afraid to ask God to reveal Himself to them.

What Jesus hinted them was about His sufferings and death, they didn't have an understanding of it and yet they were sore afraid to ask Him.

God does reveal Himself to those who are not afraid to say "Lord, thank you for what I have seen and known but I want to know you more, visit me today, show me your glory,.........".

*Insights For Today: God won't shut you down when you genuinely desire to know Him more.*

*_Prayer Point: Ask God to help you, ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a new and mighty way (pray in tongues for about 30mins). Keep walking by faith_*
