You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. -John 15:16(NLT)
HUMBLY ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
A poem and essay by ILMA
You are blessed because God chose you to be his child
Are you protecting your heart and living in his light?
God chose you and appointed you to produce fruits
He wants Scriptures and all his truth to take root.
Do you ask your needs in Jesus’ name?
You will be given, so ask and don’t be ashamed
He will give you fruits from his Spirit
Be sure to humbly ask and he will give it.

Some people expect to have answered prayers but they never ask in the first place. In James 4:2-3 we are given the reason why we don’t get our prayers answered. We don’t ask and sometimes when we ask, we do so for the wrong reasons. I grew up thinking God knows already what I need and want, so I never bothered asking them using his powerful name. I didn’t read his word so I didn’t know the power of his name and that I can receive anything I ask by using his name. I just ask without giving his glorious name the credit. I am glad that his Spirit reminds me to ask because he has chosen me as his own child.

PRAYER
Thank you Lord for your powerful name and for choosing me.
REFLECTION
Why do you think we are encouraged to ask the Lord using his name?

He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. -1 Corinthians 1:2 (NLT)
WHEN YOU CALL ON JESUS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Jesus was sent to mankind to make us holy
He came amongst us to cleanse us from any folly
When you call on Jesus, you will have peace
When you call on Jesus, you will be able to see.
Whenever his name is praised and uttered
He comes to help his sisters and brothers
When you call on Jesus, he listens to your plea
So speak up and say his name and you will free.

There is so power in the name of Jesus. If only people will witness the authority that his name brings, I think they call on his name more often. Just recently, I have been having challenges seeing someone I love so much and was prohibited to have a close contact with her. Since this person is still under authority of her parents, her hands were tied as well to have to see me. So, I called on Jesus, and have other Christian friends pray over the situation. Out of the blue, she was given permission to spend the night with me. When you call on Jesus, he will heed your call. His name has supremacy.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, you are worthy of praise.
REFLECTION
How often do you call on Jesus?
