HIDDEN REASON WHY SOME MEN’S PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED.


 HIDDEN REASON WHY SOME MEN’S PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED.
When something is hidden, it simply means that it is a secret, concealed, out of site, veiled, unknown. We can go on and on with that definition.  Answers to prayers follow a predefined pattern. The question is if you must meet a certain criteria for your prayer to be answered, and you don’t know that criterion, it all means one is just praying in vain. God’s desire is for all men to prosper, but the key to our prosperity is in our hands. This message is aimed at unraveling one of the major reasons why most men’s prayers remain unanswered.
If you go to the book of 1st Peter, chapter 3 and verse 7, it says “Likewise, ye husbands dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
If you look at the bible portion above, there are two major things I want to draw our attention to: (i) Giving honour unto the wife (ii) That your prayers be not hindered. What does this tell us, we must honour our wives if we don’t want answers to our prayers to be hindered. Most men do not have regard for their wives, some turn their wives into slaves, some make their wives punching bags, and some just turned their wives into sex machines to satisfy their animalistic instincts. This is one of the major reasons why you see most men today not being what God wants them to be.
Marriage is a covenant and God is a covenant keeping God. He blesses those who keep his words and despises those who do not abide by his word. Proverb Chapter 28:20a says “A faithful man shall abound with blessings”. Who is a faithful man? The man who respects and obeys God’s ordinances. If you turn around the above statement, it means that an unfaithful man will not abound with blessings.
Most men will say, why should I honour my wife? Culture is one major problem we have as men in this area. Some will only see the bible portion that says women should honour and respect their husbands. Well that is why it is a secret. It is only the wise that will connect with this and receive God’s prosperity and unhindered answers to their prayers.
 I f we go back to that passage above (1st Peter,3: 7) the second line there says “.....dwell with them according to knowledge....” What that means is that we require wisdom to manage our wives. If what it will require for your heaven to open is to honour your wife, why then will you not do it? BE WISE.
Many men do not receive answers to their prayers because they abuse their marriage partners.  You may ask how we abuse our wives:
·        When you are unfaithful to her, whether she is aware or not, it will block your open heaven.
·        When you are insensitive to her needs as your wife.
·        When you tongue lash her unnecessarily
·        When you do not provide for her or play your role as a husband
·        When you use sex as an instrument of bargain or punishing your wife.
If you abuse your wife as a man through any of these ways, you are not only hindering answers to your prayers, but cause more problems to your life.
WHAT IS THE WAY OUT?
Ø Decide today to be a true child of God. Be genuinely born again. The truth is that all we have been saying above will not make any sense to you if you are not a genuine child of God.
Ø Confess and Forsake. Any way you have been abusing her in the past, confess to her and beg for pardon, then ensure that you forsake doing such things again.
Ø Always buy your wife gifts even when she does not request for it.
Ø Always pray with your wife. A couple that pray together will always be together and their prayers will ascend heaven within seconds.
Ø Have a good relationship with God. The bible says when a man’s ways are right with God, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Ø Make the word of God your manual.
Ø Decide to live a sin free life. God will only show the righteous the way to success.
GOD BLESS YOU. Please pass this to every man you love.

CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS:

CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS: Read Text: Mathew 18: 21-35 This portion of the bible has the totality of Christ’s explanation to forgiveness and unforgiveness. In verse 21 of our text above, Peter asked our lord Jesus Christ the question, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him. He went ahead to provide the answer, Seven times? In verse 22, our Lord Jesus Christ answered him, until seventy times seven. Some Christians will go ahead to do the mathematics and say until 490 times. This is not what our lord Jesus means here. He means to tell us that we should keep on forgiving without limit. The word is indefinitely. In the last verse, which is verse 35, the bible clearly stated, “So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your heart do not forgive your brothers their trespasses”. Most believers today do not see unforgiveness as something that should be taking seriously. In fact many do not see it as a sin. I...

FREEDOM FROM THE CURSES OF WOMEN

Most men today are living with one curse or the other from women. There is hardly any man living that has not been cursed by one woman or the in his life time. Note that if a curse is upon any man’s life, without being broken and cancelled from the life of the man, he will never fulfill his destiny. Curse is a destiny changer, and funny enough most men do not believe in the existence or power of curses. Destinies of many men today have been changed and diverted due to curses received from women in the past. Before I proceed, it is good to throw a little light on the meaning of Curse and Freedom to buttress the point to be made in this write up. A curse is a negative pronouncement that is backed up by satanic anointing to make it come to pass. It is the use of negative words as punishment for some one’s negative actions or deeds. It can also be seen as the other side of blessing, that is to say the opposite of blessing. Curse is an instrument of punishment and destruction. It can als...
