Pastor Sakalunda, preaching from Matthew 7:7–11 (ESV), spoke on the theme “The invitation to petition God and the assurance of receiving from Him.” He highlighted that Jesus Christ extends a clear invitation to His followers to ask, seek, and knock in prayer. This invitation is especially relevant for those who lack wisdom, as they are encouraged to turn to God. The reason for this petition lies in the assurance that God hears and answers prayers — He is present, attentive, and willing to respond. However, there are conditions for petitioning God: one must ask in faith, in the name of Jesus (in alignment with His will and character), abide in Christ, and remain within the boundaries of God’s will. Pastor Sakalunda also drew an analogy between earthly fathers and God, demonstrating that if human parents can give good gifts, how much more will God do for His children. In conclusion, believers are encouraged to cultivate a lifestyle of prayer, to look to God as the model of a perfect Father, and to trust in His faithfulness.
