God does not find fault.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."    

James 1:5

The expression ‘upbraideth not’ in our opening scripture, means that God gives without finding fault. I want you to get that in your heart, knowing that when you ask God for anything, He is not going to chide, taunt or rebuke you for asking Him.

God gives without finding fault. So, when you ask Him for anything, ask with confidence. Faith is being confident in God.

In Mark 11:22, Jesus said, "…Have faith in God." In other words, Jesus is saying that we should have confidence in God. You need to be confident when you approach God in prayer, because when you come with confidence, He is not going to rebuke you, chide you or find fault with you. He will rather give you whatsoever you ask of Him.

James 1:6 says, "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering…" This is the required attitude when you pray; you are not to doubt. When you doubt, the Bible says you will be "…like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."

When you ask from God with doubt in your heart, the Bible says in James 1:7, "For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."

That explains why some Christians do not receive from God. It is because they doubt God by doubting what the Bible says. Secondly, it is because of ignorance. Some people do not know that God is willing and able to answer their prayer because they are ignorant of the sufficiency of God.

Now that you know that God is a giver and that He gives to you generously without finding fault, ask Him for whatsoever you desire and receive your answer immediately in faith.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you for loving me with an everlasting love and your loving kindness towards me. Thank you for your grace that extends towards me richly. I am forever greatful for your unconditional acceptance and generosity towards me in Jesus Name. Amen.
