April 14, 2019 CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE : TOPIC - ASK LIKE ACHSAH

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC - ASK LIKE ACHSAH

Read: Joshua 15:13-17

MEMORISE: _Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you_ (Matthew 7:7).

EXPOSITION
At 85, Caleb was given Hebron as an inheritance for his role in espying the land of Canaan. At that age, he was still valiant and managed to drive out the sons of Anak from Hebron. He also had his eye on Debir, a city 13km southwest of Hebron. He could easily have taken it too, but he used it to find a worthy son-in-law for his beloved daughter, Achsah. Whoever conquered Debir would have Achsah’s hand in marriage. It was like killing two birds with one stone. The worthy man turned out to be his own nephew, Othniel, the son of Kenaz.

Achsah was bold like her father. She persuaded her husband to ask her father for a piece of land. Caleb gave her a piece of land in Negev which was arid. She knew that without water, they won’t be able to work the land. So she approached her father for water-rich property and he granted her request. She was conscious enough to allow James 4:3 (You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures) guide and guard her manner of asking. Notice how she framed her request.

Instead of “Father, why did you give me this dry land of a fertile one? You might as well not give me anything,” she said ”Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the south, give me also springs of water” (Jos. 15:19). Thus, Caleb gave her not just the “upper springs” but the “lower springs” too (Jos. 15:18-19). It was double portion! Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matt 7:7-11).

Boldly, she asked and generously she received. Go and do likewise. We are better positioned to be blessed of the Lord in response to our prayers and petitions. We have Jesus Christ, the End of the law, the only Propitiation for our sins who grants us access to the presence of God, unfettered. Don’t miss this privilege.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Holy Spirit, help me not to ask amiss, henceforth.
2. Lord, in Your mercy, grant me my heart desires according to Your will,
3. Holy Spirit, intercede for Nigeria, so that our nation would be restored.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Judges 3:24 – 6:1; Luke 11:6 – 11:27
