November 2026: Season of Experiencing Results Beyond the Askable or the Imaginable

Askable can be defined as someone or an object that can be asked a question. It can be an individual or a thing that is approachable for inquiries or advice; or someone or something that is capable of being asked anything.

Askable can also be defined as a kind of question or request that can be made, or anything that is fit or proper to be requested for.

Imaginable on the other hand can be defined as something that is capable of being imagined or conceived. Something that can be thought of. Other words for imaginable are possible, likely, credible, plausible, believable, thinkable, comprehensible, etc.

For the purpose of this write up, askable will be viewed as something that can be asked or prayed for; while imaginable will be viewed as something that can be conceived with the mind or have a dream of.

From time immemorial, mankind have been used to asking or making requests from other humankind at all levels. Mankind have also always made requests to deities that they believe in.

Requests however can be differentiated into categories:

1. Those that are easy to be granted.

2. Those that are hard to be granted.

3. Those that had crossed the threshold of askable or even imaginable. They are almost impossible to be granted.

Moses was very close to God. He did ask God varied questions during his walk with God. Some of which were easy to be granted:

Exodus 3:13-15 NLT: “But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.”

Some of Moses requests were hard to be granted:

Exodus 32:9-14 NLT: “Then the Lord said, “I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are. Now leave me alone so my fierce anger can blaze against them, and I will destroy them. Then I will make you, Moses, into a great nation.” But Moses tried to pacify the Lord his God. “O Lord!” he said. “Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and such a strong hand? Why let the Egyptians say, ‘Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth’? Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people! Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You bound yourself with an oath to them, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. And I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.’” So the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people.”

One of Moses requests was almost impossible to be granted, as it was beyond askable and imaginable:

Exodus 33:18-23 NLT: “Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.” The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” The Lord continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock. As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.””

Elisha was chosen by God to carry on the work of Prophet Elijah. But Elijah would not have been an easy man to work with. He had hot temperament, and could make quick and devastating decisions affecting those around him, if one did not tread carefully.

He was a person that no one could mess around with. Yet, Elisha was able to work with him for over three years successfully, and also put a number of requests to Prophet Elijah!

Some of such requests were easy to be granted:

1 Kings 19:19-21 NLT: “So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, “First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!” Elijah replied, “Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.” So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant.”

Some of Elisha’s requests were hard to be granted:

2 Kings 2:1-2 NLT: “When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal. And Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, for the Lord has told me to go to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and you yourself live, I will never leave you!” So they went down together to Bethel.”

One of Elisha’s requests was almost impossible to be granted, as it crossed the boundary of askable or even imaginable:

2 Kings 2:9-10 NLT: “When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken away.” And Elisha replied, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor.” “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t.””

Interestingly, even though Moses asked God for what was beyond the imaginable, God was gracious to him, in that he got as close as possible to the result he wanted.

In the same vein, even though Elisha asked Prophet Elijah what was beyond the imaginable, Elijah was equally gracious to him, in that he prayed that God would grant the young man’s request, if he was able to see him taken away.

In essence, God is promising us in this season that we will experience results that are beyond what is normal or proper to be requested for by most people; and He will grant us results that are beyond what can be conceived ordinarily by men.

The Lord will grant us special consideration regarding our requests in this season. He will bless us beyond what we have asked of Him. He will surprise us beyond our imagination. He will exceed our expectations.

The Lord God will bless us beyond our possibilities. He will grant us above what is termed likely or what is just necessary. He will amaze us beyond belief. He will accomplish in us, for us and by us what are perceived unthinkable by many.

The favour of God will distinguish us for excellent results. His grace will be undeniably evident in our lives. His mercy will earmark us as candidates for His special attention. Our results will be dumbfounding. Our achievements will be astonishing. Our feats will be staggering.

The Lord will make us His showpieces and exemplify us as people whom He truly loves. May God demonstrate these and many more unthinkable results in our lives and in our midst in Jesus mighty name.

Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT: “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
