God gives the opposite? Answer to this misconcept

Often we have heard some pastors and some unbelievers saying not only you have to do right to be Christain but also whatever you pray, God will gives you the opposite. Familiar? This is truly a misconcept of many.

Jesus answer this question in matthew 7:9-11 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your FATHER in heaven give good gifts to those who asks him!

That means whatever that you asks from God your heavenly father, you are going to get it as long as it the things you asks is good. Let's stand at a parents perspective. Your child is having a cough and he asks for an ice cream. When will you give it to him? When he is coughing or after he has recovered from his cough. The obvious answer is after recovery. Then the child cry and cry but you loves him. You wants to give the ice-cream to him but no. You have bear the pain of hearing your boy cries. This is exactly what God your heavenly father is. God loves to give. It pleases him in giving you and blessing you. God gives it to you whenever it is the right time( when you grow in his ways). God is with you and guiding you. So that you will not go astray or takes things for granted when money comes to you. God riches for you does not mean only spiritual but alot material. I have to remind you that poverty is a CURSE and not holy. And God has already made you rich at the cross for you!!

When God wants to give it to you, of course you says thank you father and take it and not I dont deserved it or refuse the gifts. It is an insult and pains the heart of God the giver. Take and take from God. What have you been asking from God? Is it God, please I beg you, give me this thing and then i will like that and like that. If you are, it is time to change. Time to ask God in this way. Heavenly father, thank you for this gifts and thank you for your provision.

Look at him as your heavenly father and a father who loves to give!! Your life will undertake a massive transformation!!
