Topic — Pope Benedict XVI: The Way God Answers! [Wednesday 6 September, 2017]
(Romans 4:18-25).
During the election of a new pope in 2005, the then elected Pope, Pope Benedict XVI, revealed that he prayed to God during the conclave not to be elected, but that even at that time, He (God) didn’t listen to him! Recollect that Benedict was elected Pope on April 19th 2005,after four rounds of balloting in 24 hours- one of the fastest elections in a century. He had gone into the conclave as a leading candidate, but serious doubt arose because at 78, he was considered too old to be named Pope. And truly he retired later due a heart condition. Heaven is reminding a user of today’s devotional again that God’s ways are not the ways of man and His thoughts are not our thoughts.
Consider the four ways that God answers prayers:
1. No, NOT YET – WAIT
2. NO, NOT MY WILL AT ALL FORGET!
3. YES! YES! YES! ITS MY WILL!
4. YES AND YOU CAN HAVE MUCH MORE (CUP RUNNING OVER).
In this second half of the year, when our prayers are not answered the way we wish, it is because God knows why. If God answered all our prayers the way we desired, many of us would have been long dead. Learn to trust the Alpha and the Omega, the God who sees the end from the beginning: THE ALL WISE GOD! His ways are for your good.
Please follow the Peom below:
“Unanswered? Yes, the prayers of your lips have pleaded in agony of heart these many years? Does your faith begin to fail? Is your hope departing and you think it’s all in vain- your failing tears? Say not that the Father has not heard your prayer! You will have your desire sometime, somewhere, somehow.”
God may not answer your prayers exactly the way you asked for it, but never forget, he always answers. Remember Pope Benedict XVI (Retired)
