God is love; the fact that he is love doesn't mean that He will hear you if you disobey Him

There is a difference between a child of God and a person of God. Children are by nature loved by people, but the fact is, if you wanted a toy when you were a child, you could only tell your Dad, not your friend’s dad to buy you that toy. In as much as they loved us, they couldn’t buy us the toy even if they had the money.

In the same way, God loves all of us according to Romans 5:8, which says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. Now does it mean His love for you and me is taken to the next level when we accept His son? The answer is yes.

If you are a part of His family, you are guaranteed to enjoy all the privileges. In John 14:12-13, the scripture says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son”.

Notice that Jesus says- he that believes in Him. He restricts his condition only to those who believe in him. In other words, you cannot enjoy the things of God unless you accept Christ.

He promises, first eternal life through His son, secondly He promises that when we believe in Him, everything shall be given unto us. In the book of Mathew 6:33, He tells us to seek His kingdom and righteousness and then all other things shall be given to us. Again we can see that His instructions are very clear to us. If we

want His promises, we have to obey Him first.

Did you know that you can compel God to do something in your life? Most people think that we can never command God to do our wishes. Because He is faithful, He does not lie, when we obey Him and ask something from Him, He will surely do it because He has no option of refusing. It is like a contract signed. When we establish a covenant or contract with God, as long as we do not breach the regulations, He will remain faithful, thus compelling Him to honor His word.

The problem with most of us is that we are never patient enough. We come to His family, the next minute we are out of his family due to the cares of this world. It is actually our sin that prevents Him from listening to us.
