Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, peace be with you all
Many Christians prayers are not heard and answered when they come before him. This reason is as result of lack of how to communicate and when and how to come before Him.
Let me take you to the book of Isaiah 1:1-17. God accused the people of Judah about their evil practices. The ways of the Judah gave them grave consequences. Many rebellion, disobedience and show wickedness and as result causes them pain and severance of our relationship with God. But our God we serve is a merciful one, he also spare his children who are faithful when the time comes for judgement,but for his own purpose.
Many times in our lives we behave like people of Judah. When we know that we are not living a faithful life and instead of following his will and command rather we think we can him with our huge offerings and services.
One thing we need to understand is that all things in heaven and earth belongs to Him and does does not interest him with gifts as it happens to the life of man. Parishioners your gift and services are baseless until we base on God's standard and proceeds from the heart of faith and obedience.
1 Samuel 15:22,
"But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams"
Our Father always wants us to get out from our wrong paths and for that always He encourage and persuade us to repent us he did for the people of Judah.
