FAITH CAPSULE: Be persistent and see if the Lord is faithful to fulfill according to His word. 

Matthew 7:1-12, Luke 18:1-8

God is faithful to fulfill according to His word for one that will know Him not knowing about Him
Manifestation of expectation yet to be is not the issue of how long of waiting but how far God brings one is the grace of God that counts.
It might be long to wait, but never too much to keep asking from God.
Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-9) 
God is not a talkative that wastes words. 
Whatever He says He will do is a done deal. 
The psalmist testifies to the word of God, “I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.” (Psalm 138:2) 
God honors His word for one that gives to His word.
The word states further to assure all about the power of asking: “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him? (Matthew 7:9-11)
Have you been asking and not been receiving from Him? 
One should not stop asking.
To stop asking demonstrates a lack of faith.
Do not stop asking in the place of expectation for manifestation.
In the parable, Jesus speaks to be persistent.
Jesus spoke, “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward, he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”  (Luke 18:2-5) 
Waiting on God with no manifestation is not too late to return to the prayer altar.
Be persistent and see that the Lord is faithful to fulfill according to His word. 
The parable of the persistent widow states, “…men always ought to pray and not lose heart…” 
In times of challenges, it is the time to keep an eye on God and not look away from His creation.
God has brought you this far.
In your expectation, it is worth it to take it all to the Lord in prayer and see How the Lord will move with an answer. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your understanding to asking, seeking, and knocking before Him.
