God is not a just God. If a person has any understanding of God, they will probably immediately dispute that statement. After all, God is righteous in all His judgment. God rewards people who obey Him, has mercy on whoever He will, and punishes those that disobey Him. So, He must be a just God, right? Well, not exactly. Here is a personal testimony of how I came to the conclusion that God is not a just God.

One Day In Prayer…

One day a few months ago I was praying for a breakthrough. I literally asked God to just get me through my situation and help me with my finances. I immediately received the revelation that God is not a just God. In fact, I was convicted by God for praying such a weak, “Oh God, give me a little bit of stuff” type of prayer. I essentially undermined God’s power to deliver me from all my circumstances.

Here’s what I learned moments after I prayed that prayer: God does not just want to meet our needs. The fact is our needs are already met. We breathe. We eat. We drink. We have shelter (See Luke 12:16-32). God wants to do more for people than they may ever imagine they could have received from Him. In fact, God is sitting in Heaven waiting for somebody to get out of the just box, and receive the bountiful blessings He has in store for them.

A Biblical Example from Jacob

In the Bible, Jacob wrestled with God until he received a blessing (See Genesis 32:24-32).

People need to learn to wrestle with God and hold Him to His word. They should expect all the great blessings God is able to bestow upon them. They need to go boldly before God’s throne and make their requests known to God with undaunted faith to receive them.

Consider the biblical story of the prodigal son, who squandered away his rich inheritance on a foolish lifestyle. However, when he returned to his Father poor and hopeless, he received mercy from Him (See Luke 15:11-32). Next, his Father accepted him back into His household. Then, his father gave him gifts above and beyond what He gave his servants and His other, righteous son. The prodigal son received the best robe, a ring, sandals, and a fatted calf.

The Father could have given him an old robe, worthless gifts, and just enough to eat, and the son could have received the same. However, the Father gave him His best stuff, and the son received the best stuff from Him.

Note: God will give people His best if they ask Him in faith and expectation. God’s servants are entitled by God’s Word to receive His very best gifts.

Takeaway

Here is an important takeaway:

1. Lose the just mindset and seek gifts that God’s servants have every right to receive from God!

Conclusion

A just prayer never gets anybody much from God. If a person prays for God just to do something for them, God will only give them just as much as they request. God does not have a limited supply of blessings; His blessings are infinite. Evidently, one separates himself from the outpouring of God’s provisions if they ask for anything from God in a just mindset. Instead, they must approach God feeling that they are worthy to receive all of His blessings. They have to go boldly before God’s throne, just as the prodigal son .They need to know that as God’s child, they have every right to receive all of God’s Kingdom promises from Him.



Praying for God to ‘just’ do something will only get a person ‘just enough’ from God
