ASK FOR MORE: THE BLESSING IS NOT COMPLETE 

Read: Joshua 15:13–19

Meditation Verse:

“She said, ‘Give me another gift. You have already given me land in the Negev; now please give me springs of water, too.’ So, Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.”

— Joshua 15:19 (NLT)

Caleb had given his daughter, Aksah, a piece of land in the Negev—a desert region marked by dryness and scarcity. The land was technically a gift, but it was lacking in the most essential resource for fruitfulness: water. Aksah could have settled for what she was given, but instead, she chose boldness. She went to her father and asked for more: “Give me also springs of water.” And Caleb, without hesitation, granted her request—both the upper and the lower springs.

Her story teaches us a profound spiritual truth: It’s okay to ask God to complete your blessing. Many times, we accept partial victories and call them final. We receive a glimpse of what God can do, but we hesitate to ask Him to do more—to bring the blessing to completion. But our Father in heaven is not limited by what we’ve already received. He is generous, abundant, and able to perfect every good thing He has started in our lives (Philippians 1:6).

Maybe you’ve received a gift, but the conditions for fruitfulness are still missing. Like Aksah, don’t be afraid to return to the Giver and say, “Thank You, Lord—for what I have received. But I need You to complete it.”

You Can Ask God to:

• Bless you with children to complete the joy of marriage.
• Grant visibility and favour to activate your gifts and talents.
• Provide resources to support your calling.
• Bring healing after years of struggle.
• Open doors for promotion, progress, or partnership in your career, ministry, or business.

God honours bold prayers, not because He is reluctant to give, but because He delights in your trust and faith. Your request is not a complaint—it’s an act of faith. What area of your life feels like a “Negev”—dry, arid or incomplete? Have you settled for less than what God is able to do in your life? Why not ask boldly for more today

 

IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
If you prayed this prayer, send me an email at rockteachingministry@gmail.com
