Hallelujah! I get excited and over-the-top thrilled when God not only answers our prayers but goes way beyond what we even requested. You see, Solomon asked for Wisdom...not out of selfish ambitions, but so that he may lead God’s people according to how God would have him to lead.
When our prayers and supplications align with God's purpose, then not only will He answer our prayers, but He will bless us beyond anything that we requested.
Try Him for yourself!
I dare you to ask God to be a better father and husband in your family.
I dare you to ask God to bless you with not only a job, but a profession so that you can support and mentor at risk youth and to help the less fortunate in your community.
I dare someone to ask God to Save them from addiction, illegal and illicit activities...because I'm confident that in no time they will be sharing their testimony of where God has taken them from and that this same God can deliver someone else if they would only ask.
God wants to place an "ALSO" in response to our prayers. What would you ask of Him today?
Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. AND I HAVE ALSO given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.” (1 Kings 3:11-14 NKJV)
