TITLE: GOD WILL NEVER ANSWER A WRONG MOTIVE PRAYER...

TEXT: JAMES 4:3

"Ye ask, and receive not, BECAUSE YE ASK AMISS, that ye may consume it upon your lusts".

 *SPIRITUAL NUGGET:* 

" BEFORE DESIRING AND ASKING GOD FOR CERTAIN THINGS, FIRST CHECK YOUR MOTIVE BEHIND THE REASON WHY YOU NEED IT, BECAUSE GOD CANNOT SPONSOR YOUR LUST..."

 *LET'S GO DEEPER:* 

One of the biggest hindrance to the PRAYERS AND DESIRE of a lot of Believers is not the devil or demons as we tend to see it. Emphatically NO! But their MOTIVE. YES! Their wrong and selfish motive is the reason why God has not answered their HEART DESIRE. YES! Now listen, you must understand that God is a PURE AND JUST GOD. He doesn't support or sponsor EVIL motive. This is why your MOTIVE (REASONS) for asking or seeking what you want from God must be PURE and most especially, it must be in alignment and conformity with His will for your life at the season (Rom. 12:1-2). God is not a wicked or selfish God. He is not trying to withhold or deny us the good things of life. NO! He wants you to be bless and enjoy your life to the fullest as His child, but all HE wants to see in you is a PURE MOTIVE. I mean, a PURE HEART, a PURE GENUINE REASON why you need the blessings that you seek for. 

In fact, it is not just enough to have a PURE GENUINE MOTIVE, the fact is, CAN GOD TRUST YOU? Can HE entrust you? If it happens that HE gives you the blessing and breakthrough that you are earnestly and desperately seeking for, you will still LOVE HIM? WILL YOU STILL BE HUMBLE? WILL YOU STILL BE COMING TO CHURCH? WILL YOU STILL BE DEDICATED AND STAY FOCUS ON HIM? WILL YOU STILL REMEMBER YOUR BRETHREN? I know all your answers Will be emphatically YES! Because you trust yourself. You think you know yourself? You don't know what you are capable of doing yet, until you are being exposed to chances, opportunities and circumstances. That's when you will know that you didn't truly love God, but you were only after HIS GOLD AND GLORY, BUT NOT HIS PRESENCE AND SPIRIT. These are still the corrupt elements which God is still seeing in our HEART (MOTIVE) that HE is still working on and dealing with before releasing us into our INHERITANCE, but we are misinterpreting it as delay and denial. NO! God knows the best for you. He knows us more than ourselves.

 *ACTION POINT:* 

God is not just in a hurry to bless you. NO! God is more interested in building your capacity so that HE can entrust you with His fullness. God is not just after giving you His BLESSINGS (materially), HE wants you to know Him first. So that you can be true Kingdom REPRESENTATIVE and custodian. God wants your MOTIVE to be purified from every form of selfishness and self-centeredness so that you can accommodate His Kingdom agenda. May God's Spirit rest upon you STRONG in Jesus Name, Amen!

 *FURTHER STUDY:* 

Psalm 1:1-end, 10:1-4, 37:30-37, 139:23:24, Proverbs 8:13-17.

 *PRAYER:* 

Holy Spirit, sanctified my MOTIVE. Teach me to be accurate and sincere and love you geniuely in Jesus Name.

 *BIBLE STUDY PLAN:* 

Jeremiah 36:1-10, Acts 19:1-10. text of your post here...

What are some of the major factors motivating youth to join scamming in Nigeria?

There are many Contributing factors to the High Rate of Cyber Crime in Nigeria. Buh the Major Contributing Factor is the High rate of Unemployment in the Country.

The Nigerian Government has Failed Her Young Citizens through their Inability to make Provision for Jobs and So The Youths resorted to whatever Available means in Order to Make Ends meet and Make a Living. Thousands and Millions of Youths are Being Graduated and Pushed Out of the Universities Scattered all Over the Country. These Young Lads and Lasses Continue to roam about aimlessly after Graduation Now your Guess is Good as Mine.

The Second Reason is Poverty. An Idle Man, they say is a Devil's Workshop. Due to Joblessness resulting from Unemployment, The Rate of Poverty and Penury in Nigeria is too High. The Average Nigerian Can Only Provide His/Herself with Two Square Meals while The Poorest of the Poor goes with Little or nothing. And So People are Forced into Cyber Crimes as they deem it the Quickest Means of Cashing Out in Order to Ameliorate their Lifestyle and alleviate Poverty.

Some of Our Music Stars Whose Demography are Primarily the Youths are not even Helping in this Matter as they keep Making and Releasing Records in Support of this Dubious act, Thereby Encouraging the Youths Who they Majorly Impact.
