About this ebook
Andrew Mutondoro
Pastor Andrew Mutondoro, together with his wife of fifteen years, Pastor Bernadette Mutondoro, is the pioneer senior pastor of Oasis Christian Assembly (www.oasischristianassembly.org). Their marriage has been blessed with two lovely children. Oasis Christian Assembly is a ministry whose Holy Spirit–inspired vision is to take the love of God to everyone, everywhere in this world. Pastor Andrew and Pastor Bernadette are anointed ministers of the gospel with enormous zeal to rightly preach and teach the Word of God with great revelation, clarity, and power and the miraculous in a manner that edifies and exhorts believers to ensure that they fulfil God’s destiny for their lives. They have the credentials of ministers of the gospel sent by the Most High God as evidenced by the testimonies of great miracles, signs, and wonders performed by the Holy Spirit wherever they minister. Their ministry positively impacts and transforms the lives of people through the sound preaching and teaching of the Good News Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who are in lack are catapulted to abundance. The diseased are healed. Those in spiritual bondage or demonic captivity are set to liberty. The prophetic ministry is always evident. The helpless and incapable members of society are transformed into bold, mighty men and women of valour, who are not ashamed to become master soul winners and mega financiers of God’s kingdom. At Oasis Christian Assembly, they have inculcated a ministry philosophy to ‘win, build, send’ souls. Every son and daughter of the ministry is raised to win souls, build the won souls through effective discipleship training, and then send them out to win more souls. This ministry philosophy is excellent in ensuring that spiritual growth takes place through all in the ministry. The saints are raised from being baby (nepios) Christians to mature (huios) Christians that effectively advance God’s kingdom.

INTRODUCTION
The writing of this book, Ask and Receive, is first and foremost a fulfilment of what the Holy Spirit instructed me to do. Secondly, it was borne out of my own desire to see my personal prayer life producing greater results. Thirdly, it was the hunger and thirst for more knowledge on how to ask and receive from God that was shown by students in our school of ministry. Our ministry philosophy is to ‘win, build, send’. We win souls, we build souls, and we send souls to win more souls to the kingdom of God.
Every Christian is called to be a minister of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). In order to do this effectively, you must be able to ask and receive from God anything you desire for the mission on hand.
In the many hours I spent teaching in our school of ministry, I noticed that many of the students would point out that they had done ‘everything’ in prayer, yet for reasons unbeknown to them, they just could never receive answers to their prayers. As I met other Christians, including pastors from other ministries, it became clear to me that many were frustrated in life because they were asking in prayer without getting the required results. Many had become weak spiritually and had given room to carnality because of frustrations in their prayer life. Satan and his demons were causing havoc and winning in the lives of some of these believers.
Many such people told me that they now suffered from prayerlessness and had given up on so many things. Yet Luke 18:1 says, ‘Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.’ If you give up on prayer, you will, in turn, give more room to satan and fail to attain your destiny in Christ. Some people even blamed God for their failure to ask and receive answers to their prayers.
So driven by my love for God and the body of Christ, I have joyously submitted to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and have written this first edition of Ask and Receive. I am truly thankful to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for this great privilege and opportunity to write this book. As you read this book, my desire is that you will be able to ask and receive from God whatever you desire. Jesus will be glorified in everything that you are involved in, and joy is yours every time, everywhere, 24/7.
I look forward to receiving your feedback. You can contact me directly by email pastorandrew@oasischristianassembly.org or through our head office: telephone +27(0)11 025 3442/3; website www.oasischristianassembly.org
God bless you.
Pastor Andrew Mutondoro
CHAPTER 1
Expectations
I can assure you that as you read this book, you are going to learn how to receive that which you desire and the solutions to everything that you will ever ask for in prayer.
Hosea 4:6 says, ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’ (New King James Bible). The knowledge referred to here is knowledge of God’s Word. God’s people can fail in life if they are ignorant of God’s Word.
Man is a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. With his spirit, he relates with the spirit realm, the realm of his actual existence. With his body, he makes contact with the material world, and with his soul, he contacts the intellectual realm. Your soul contains your feelings (emotions), intellect, willpower, mind (thoughts, reasoning, and mindset), and your decision-making ability. When you are born again, it is not your soul or body that is born again but rather your spirit. As a result of this, you are fresh—the new that has come in Christ (into this world). Your soul and spirit are what are often referred to as your inner man.
Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17, Amplified Bible)
It is your spirit that is in Christ—that is, the real you (the inner man)—that relates to God. We understand the things of God from our spirit. Romans 10:10 below illustrates this.
For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. (Romans 10:10, Amplified Bible)
We must condition our minds to go in the same direction and condition our senses to function likewise. You need the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you to understand God’s Word and renew your mind.
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals
