“THE GOD THAT ANSWERS PRAYER”
BY PASTOR YEMISI BAMGBOSE
JEREMIAH 33:3
God gave us a blank cheque with this statement “call unto Me and I will answer.....”
Who is this God? In Genesis 1:1, He is known by His name GOD, Supreme and Sovereign.
In Genesis 2:4, He is known by the name LORD GOD, the Creator of the Heavens and earth. In Genesis 14:18, He is known as the MOST HIGH GOD. The Deliverer of His own from the hands of their enemies.
He introduced Himself to Abraham in Genesis 17:1 as The Almighty God (El-Shaddai) the God that is more than enough. His desire is for us to walk before Him with perfection of heart.
In Genesis 21:33, He is known as THE EVERLASTING GOD, the God that is ever living. He introduced Himself to Moses as THE I AM. In Exodus 3:14 when He was ready to deliver
the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. In Exodus 34:14, He is known as a JEALOUS GOD. He will not permit His children to worship
another god or any foreign god. In Deuteronomy 33:27, He is known as THE ETERNAL GOD.
He is our refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms that will crush your enemies. In Joshua 3:10, He is known as THE LIVING GOD. Not a dead one, but ever living.
In Psalm 80:7, He is known as THE GOD OF HOSTS. The One in charge of all hosts in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth. In Jeremiah 32:18, He is known as THE MIGHTY GOD.
In Matthew 6:26, He is known as the HEAVENLY FATHER. He knows your needs more than yourself.
In Jonah 1:9, He is known as THE GOD OF HEAVEN, the Maker of land and sea.
In 1 Timothy 1:17, He is known as THE KING ETERNAL.
In James 1:17, He is known as THE FATHER OF LIGHTS. There is no darkness in Him nor shadow of turning.
What are His natural attributes? Eternal, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscience, Wise, Incomparable, Invisible, Unchangeable,
Unequal to anyone else, Infinite, and Unsearchable. What are His moral attributes?
Holiness, Justice, Love, Mercy, Truth, Goodness and Impartial. So brethren, you can see that the God with all these attributes will do exactly what He has promised in His Word to do.
He gave us an assurance that when we call upon Him, He will answer. From all indications, we know Him to do exactly that.
Those who call on Him have always received the answers to their petitions. He is more than enough to answer our prayers.
God will not only answer, but He will show you great and mighty things which you do not know. Are you not grateful that we have a Father we can call unto anytime, any day and He will
answer? We serve a God that answers prayers.
Having answers to our prayers is an evidence of a loving Father. This God is a relational God. He wants to relate to us as Father to a child (daughter or son).
All we have to do is call upon Him and it is His promise to answer.

We have seen various examples in the scriptures where God has answered prayers.
Our responsibility is to get to know this God and relate to Him as a loving Father. How do we know that God answers prayers?
He gave us an assurance to call unto Him and He will answer us. It is His promise to answer our prayers.
Good examples are Joshua, Moses, Nehemiah, Hannah and Esther. Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still and it was so for a whole day, because he
was fighting the battle that needs completion on that day - Joshua 10:12-13. God harkened to the voice of man.
Hannah called upon Him in her darkest hour and she got her miracle child -1 Samuel 1:9-17. She prayed before the Lord at Shiloh and made a vow that she kept with God, and the Lord
answered her prayer. Elijah on Mount Carmen prayed and the Lord answered by fire -1 Kings 18:30-39. The God of fire responded by fire and the people made a great confession that THE LORD, HE
IS GOD.
God prevailed over strange gods on that day.
The woman with the issue of blood called upon Him and she received her healing - Matthew 9:20-22.
The Canaanite woman called on Him for the deliverance of her daughter and she eventually got her requests - Matthew 15:22-28.
Gideon called on God and got an answer - Judges 6:36-40. Gideon prayed asking God to prove that He is the one sending him on assignment and God
answered him. The same God is still alive today and when we call upon Him, He will answer us as He has answered the people of old.
How do I know He will answer my prayers? He has promised to do so, and He is faithful to keep all His promises. Isaiah 65:24
Jeremiah 33:3 John 14:13-14
John 16:24 These and many more passages in the scripture points to the fact that we have a Father who has
our best interest at heart. It is clearly evident that when we call upon Him, He will answer us, provided we meet His
conditions. What are these conditions?
Ask in the name of Jesus and not in any other name - John 14:13-14. Call on Him in truth - Psalm 145:18.
Come to Him with a pure and sincere heart. - Matthew 5:8, James 4:8. Have no other god beside Him - Matthew 6:33.
Hold no one in the prison of your heart in un-forgiveness - Matthew 5:23-26. Run from all manner of sins and sinful habits - Isaiah 59:1-2. Ask in faith - Hebrews 11:6.
Do not be double-minded or a doubter, as such will not receive anything from Him - James 1:8. We have an assurance that when we call on Him, He will answer us.
He is our Father. He loves us just as He loves Jesus Christ His Son.
Prayer: God will hear and answer our prayers this month and beyond, in Jesus name.
Shalom!

You Shouldn’t Skip Church
A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to the hills to do
some bear hunting. As he rounded the corner on a perilous twist in the trail, he and a
bear collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside.
Before he knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a rock and breaking
both legs. That was the good news. The bad news was the ferocious bear charging at him from a
distance, and he couldn't move.
"Oh Lord," the preacher prayed, "I'm so sorry for skipping services today to come out here
and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish.... please make a Christian out of that bear
that's coming at me. Please, Lord!"
That very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and
began to pray aloud right at the preacher's feet.
"Dear Lord, bless this food I am about to receive... in Jesus' name... Amen."
Speak Up
A little boy was kneeling beside his bed with his mother and grandmother and softly saying his
prayers, "Dear God, please bless Mummy and Daddy and all the family and please give me a good
night's sleep."
Suddenly he looked up and shouted, "And don't forget to give me a bicycle for my birthday!!"
"There is no need to shout like that," said his mother. "God isn't deaf."
"No," said the little boy, "but Grandma is."

HYMN 1
NOW THANK WE ALL OUR
GOD
Now thank we all our God,
With hearts and hands and voices;
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers’ arms,
Hath bless’d us on our way
With countless gifts of love
And still is ours to-day.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever-joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
And keep us in His grace
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God
The father now be given,
The Son and Him who reigns
With Them in highest heaven
The One, Eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
HYMN 2
IMMORTAL INVISIBLE GOD
ONLY WISE
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the
Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we
praise.
Unresting, unhasting and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest
in might!
Thy justice like mountains high soaring
above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of
goodness and love.
To all life Thou givest to both great and
small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on
the tree,
And wither and perish-but nought
changeth Thee.
Great Father of Glory, pure Father of
Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their
sight;
All laud we would render; O helps us to
see;
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth
Thee.
HYMNS FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY
Winners’ News Issue 7 Volume 2 February 2018
11
HYMN 3
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN
JESUS
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there
HYMN 4
I AM SO GLAD THAT OUR
FATHER IN HEAVEN
I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the book He has giv-
en;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
CHORUS
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me
Jesus loves even me.
Jesus loves me and I know I love Him;
Love brought Him down my lost soul
to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the
tree:
Oh I am certain that Jesus love me.
In this assurance I find sweetest rest,
Trusting in Jesus I know I am blest;
Satan dismayed from my soul doth now
flee
When I just tell him that Jesus loves
me.
Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great
King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves
me!”
