Place Your Demand Now!

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14 NKJV)

The Greek rendering of this verse of Scripture reveals that it has nothing to do with prayer. The word “ask” used here actually means “demand.” In other words, Jesus is saying “Whatsoever you shall demand in my Name, I’ll ensure that it’s done.” This is not prayer. You’re not asking God for anything. You are making a demand on the basis of your authority in Christ Jesus. This may sound strange to many folks but its a scriptural reality.

In the book of Acts Chapter 3, Peter operated this principle. There was a man at the temple gate who had been crippled from birth. He was laid there daily to beg for alms. The Bible says on a particular occasion, he requested for alms from Peter and John. But Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”(Acts 3:6) This was not prayer. He only made a demand in the Name of Jesus that the man should rise up and walk. And the man leap up and walked with him into the temple. (Acts 3:8) Hallelujah!

Practice making demands in the Name of Jesus concerning your life. He’d see to it that your desires come to pass. Many hardships that people suffer are absolutely unnecessary. Jesus said make demands in my Name, and I will do it. The Greek rendering for the word “do” here means that, even if the thing does not exist, for your sake, He will bring it into existence. Glory to God! Is there anything you want to change in your life today? Are you concerned about the state of your life? Make a demand now in Jesus Name; and experience a miracle today!
