Title: Jesus Christ offers you a blank cheque when you show unwavering commitment to salvation of souls.
“In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?”
2 Chronicles 1:7-10 KJV
“And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.”
2 Kings 2:9 KJV.
Sometimes our God in Jesus Christ gives us a blank cheque and says ask what shall I give you. This usually follows a test of commitment. Solomon showed his commitment by the way he gave to God. He had gone to the alter and offered one thousand burnt offerings. God was so pleased with Solomon's commitment to Him that God appeared to him in the night and gave him a blank cheque- "Ask what shall I give you." Solomon showed his unwavering commitment further by how he answered. He asked for wisdom so that he could do what God had called him to do the best he could. See how God responded- because you have not asked for wealth, long life or the life of your enemies, I will give you wisdom and these as well.
Elisha also passed a test of commitment to Elijah at Gilgal, at Bethel, at Jericho and finally at Jordan. He was asked to ask what he wanted Elijah to give him. Notice how he answered- by putting the mission first, showing commitment to the cause he had been called for- he asked for a double portion of the anointing that was on Elijah so that He could best serve the people of God.
In our day, the greatest need and cause to which we are all being called and to which we need to show total commitment is salvation of souls. God in Jesus Christ is asking for your total commitment to spreading His word to save the lost of our generation. What can you do? You can pray for salvation of souls across Planet Earth, you can witness Jesus Christ to friends and family, you can forward messages and other ways. When you commit to this cause, God will give you your own blank cheque. That is why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” KJV.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die that my sin can be forgiven. I believe you rose again from the dead and you are alive today. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for saving me. I commit my life to you and to the cause of salvation of souls across Planet Earth. I ask you Lord Jesus Christ, move by your Spirit and save souls across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
