THE POWER OF PATIENCE.


But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my saviour; my God will hear me (Micah 7:7).

One of the characteristics of a matured believer is in his or her ability to patiently wait on God for his intervention even in the midst of fierce oppositions and challenges.

From the anchor scripture, we see the prophet making this his personal choice- “But as for me”. He was intentional about it. You see, in life, you have to understand that following the crowd always can make you miss out on God’s plan for your life. There are decisions you have to make of which other people may never support or understand, because you desire to please God with your life and not man. Others may choose to cut corners, seek for short cuts which will ultimately cut them short. Some cheat their way through due to impatience, pressure to fit in, and low self-esteem. As believers, our response to life ought to be different.

Prophet Micah said “I wait in hope for the LORD” do you know that, how you wait can affect what you get? Many wait in complaints, depression, lamentation and in hopelessness. But we are admonished today to wait in hope. How do we wait in Hope?

1. To Wait Expectantly: Psalms 130:5 says, "I WAIT FOR THE LORD, MY SOUL WAITS, AND IN HIS WORD I PUT MY HOPE”, That means wait with expectation. Focus on God’s promises and not on your challenges.

2. To Wait With Thanksgiving. Don’t pollute your waiting time with complaints. Romans 8:25 (MSG) says: but the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy. Be joyful and thankful through the process. God is making you larger. Rom. 4:20 Abraham waited glorifying God for his promises.

There is much power in patiently waiting on God for His plans and purpose to manifest in our lives. Wait and you will see His glory today.

Job 14:14 If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.

Proverbs 14:29 A patience man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.

Show me a man of great understanding and I will show you a patience man. Beloved, Christianity is not a short cut to greatness but a sure cut. Never avoid the process because the making process always precedes the delivery and manifestation period.

Prayer
1. Oh Lord I receive the grace to wait patiently on your divine timing for my life in Jesus name.
2. I come against any form of impatience, greed and lust of the eyes in Jesus name.
3. I receive the grace to stand firm in patience on your word at all times in Jesus name.
God bless you. You can share, like and comments on the post. I await your testimonies in Jesus name.

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

SUNDAY 14TH JULY BORN FOR DOMINION Then God said, let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. (Genesis 1:26). When God made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. To have an idea of the kind of dominion that man would have had if he had not sinned, let's look at the perfect man Jesus Christ. When Jesus wanted to pay the temple tax, He only needed to command a miracle money into a fish and sent his discipline to get it ( Matthew 17:24-27). When He wanted to feed the multitude, He only needed to multiply five loaves of bread and two fishes in His hands(Mark 6:34-44) and many other miracles Jesus did, manifesting His dominion on earth. He even brought the dead back to life because He had dominion over death. Child of God, you can walk in the same dominion Christ walked while on e...

CHOOSE TO SEEK GOD EARLY.

 O God, you are my God, early will I seek you;  my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 The choice to seek God early is the key to timely accomplishments in life. Many often miss their set time and season because of their unwillingness to seek God early. The psalmist said early will I seek thee. Don't wait for the worst to happen before you seek him.  As we begin this New Year, now is the time for you to prayerfully seek the face of God, listen to his instructions, enquire from him and receive God's vision for your life this year. Be intentional about your success this year. Take responsibility for your life. Be determined and committed to seek God early before you make any decision or conclude on anything this year. Those who seek God early can never arrive late and those who seek Him first can never be last. I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you this year in all you do. No matter the pressure and c...
