As pastor quoted the parable.. about the persistent widow and the unjust judge. basically, the judge is corrupt, and neither feared God nor cared what people think. however, this poor but persistent widow had a very good case. And she came everyday pleading and petitioning to the unjust judge to avenge her.
Now, of course the unjust judge ignored her at first. like hmph! why should i bother with you?! but the widow came everyday, hounding him and crying.. until one day the unjust judge says to himself.. even though i do not fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, i will see that she gets justice!!
(reference Luke 18)
So we as humans, know this principle of being thick skinned.. and keep hounding and asking people for things we want or things we want to get done. BUT!! we are always wishy washy in our prayers to God. How much more our heavenly Father who loves us so much, wants to bless us, even more than what we can imagine!!
So lets all ask the Lord audaciously (boldly) and tenaciously (persistently)! Not of selfish things, but in line with God's will and principle, to bless ourselves or to bless others. And dun be afraid of making God nervous or bored, because He is almighty and powerful, and He loves to hear us pray! :)
And to follow up the previous post, i shall break up the meaning of Christmas!!
