THE TIME OF WAITING.

It's certain that things either in the physical or spiritual realm is not always of the order of 'On your mark, Set & Go!' '...all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.' Job 14:14 There're certain waitings we can't skip.All products undergo processing time,but not all waitings are sensible though. 3 TYPES OF WAITING appear in the word of God, as inspired of Him; 1. There's a WAITING on God to know what to do as regards an issue. Hab 2:1 2. There're time God Himself is WAITING for us.(This one is most crucial) Most time it's God Who wants us to act the knowledge we have,until He can act too,but this we mistake it for waiting on God. Never! For example, Lot had to move from Sodom before the angels could destroy those cities, Gen. 19:22 3. There's WAITING according to the season of life. If God has healed a barren woman for example, she will yet have to wait according to the season of life to carry her child. It's therefore your duty and mine to know which waiting we are doing, otherwise we might just waste away in the name of waiting on God. How to cope while we wait, especially on 2&3 discussed above: 1. HOLD UP YOUR CONFESSION Evidently, faith is not in being able to raise the dead alone,faith also is in keeping oneself in shape till the desired result comes, doing what? Doing the profession according to the faith! Hebrews 10:23 Your word is your power! If your expectation is not appearing physically, it doesn't suggest, it's not already formed spiritually. The physical follows & is dictated by the spiritual. At every RIGHT CONFESSION, there's a chain reaction that ensues: the situation hears, the devil stops his assault, the angel (in this case, your angel) goes into action, and God backs the process, but if it's wrong confession, the whole process is opposite. Abraham confessed many years himself as a 'father of many nations', yet the Bible says he didn't see them happen PHYSICALLY, yet it says that he embraced them afar of Hebrews 11:13; his confessions back then are still happening till today, because people are still becoming born again daily. Confession is not according to feelings, but knowing. You have never seen your soul/spirit before but you know you have one. Likewise, your profession ought to base on revelational knowing that words are things in the realm unseen. They exist, and time proves it. 2. SOW LIKEWISE SEED Whatever you wish to see happen in your own life, make it happen for others in the way you can. Daddy Adeboye once said that he needed money to do the roofing of an auditorium in the Redemption camp years ago but the money was not forthcoming. There and then, another Pastor in RCCG came to G.O to ask for financial support to help in their parish church. G.O rather sent him packing telling him that he himself had a greater need than him, but not too long did Holy Spirit refrain him from doing so, that he ought to help the Pastor with the little sum he has about his own project ; solving one out of two concerns at hand. And that he did. Then just in the nick of time, God sent resources enough to build that same auditorium he was looking for financial aids for. I have always said it, that the 'act' to your next phase is within your power now, doing it or not is what dictates how you fare. The time of being in need is to see how you can meet the needs of some other. Let's be wise. It's Biblical. 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.' You sow favour to also reap favour! 3. TIME OF WAITING IS TIME OF BEING BUSY...IMPROVING It's the slothful that thinks that the time of waiting is that of sleeping. You're believing God for a life partner, it's not all about prayers, but also improving and proving your life. No one has justification for overly getting worse or not engaged with a profitable actions while he or she is expecting the best to happen. A graduate believing God for a job that's sleeping all day at home is destroying his faith all the way. Take up a commensurate faith walk alongside your professed confession to prove your faith. That's how it works! Confession without action is a relative of stagnation. 4. CHEER UP! Joy has strength that keeps the body going,it's a sign that you believe, and above all, it's by choice. Beloved Bishop David said that when you cry more and more, the enemies laugh more and more. Don't give your victory away! In all these things, we are more than conquerors,Rom 8:37 Cheerfulness means you're ready to take your delivery. Rejoice, again I say rejoice... God bless!
