Dear Married Friend (DMF), A few nights ago, as I lay on my bed, the very popular scripture "ask and ye shall receive" popped into my head. Then the discussion began. Disclaimer: Before I continue, biko, if you are not 18+, this blog post is not for you yet. Shame dey even catch me to write this post but I am only a messenger. Ehn, let's continue! Indeed the discussion began. I was laughing hard to myself and kept on asking the Holy Spirit, why exactly we were having this conversation with Matthew 7:7😄. Let me remind you what it says: Matthew 7:7 - Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: This popular scripture however helped me as a child to understand that our heavenly father gives good gifts and answers prayers if we follow the Matthew 7:7 principle. It was one of those scriptures that helped build our faith in God. Now imagine how weird it felt when the Holy Spirit used this scripture...
