“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive.” (John 16:24)

It is related of Alexander that he gave one of his generals, who had pleased him, permission to draw on his treasurer for any sum. When the draft came in, the treasurer was scared, and would not pay it till he saw his master. And when the treasurer told him what he had done, Alexander said, “Don't you know that he has honored me and my kingdom by making a large draft.” So we honor God by making a large draft on Him.
