Yes No Wait

God always answers prayer. We always wanted an yes from Him.
But in His infinite wisdom He sometimes say No. As far as our human wisdom No is a
Sign of affectionless. But He knows better than us that which are good for us which are not.
God’s three answers are these, Yes, No, Wait.
We can see many examples from the Bible that God gives answers in these different ways.

Yes

Luke 23/42,43
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.]”
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.

The thief who was crucified with Jesus received answer yes for his prayers.
He had no other choice and no other hope. It was just before his last breathe he said this prayer.
How mysterious are the ways of God.

No

Luke 8/38,39
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him


Wait

Revelation 6/9-11
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

Lesson 1
The thief had no prior relationship with Jesus received an instant answer “YES” from Jesus. Sometimes those who less spiritual than you may get favorable answers from God.Do not get discouraged when you see such things

.

Lesson 2
Those who testify Jesus and embraced martyrdom were told to WAIT some more time.
Some times we have to wait for His time.
Mary were told by Jesus that His time had not yet come.
Let us wait patiently for His time.

Lesson 3
The man who received healing got an answer NO from Jesus.
Sometimes Jesus say NO even to our noble prayers.
This man’s prayer was highly appreciable. He wanted to be with Jesus and follow Him where ever he goes.
Outwardly it appears as a good prayer.
But actually he wanted to escape from his village where all were against Jesus.
But Jesus appointed him there as His ambassador and it was the greatest privilege

.
In the midst of your tears and turmoil, remember that you are an ambassador of Christ Jesus and your citizenship is in the Heaven.
God can bless you even through your unanswered prayers.
For a child of God all these three answers are blessings. Let us pray that
our eyes get opened so that we might be able to see His blessings in disguise.
And may God continue to bless you.
