“I waited and waited and waited for GOD… At last he looked; finally, he listened.” Psalm 40:1
Waiting on God to bring to pass the promises HE has made is one of the most challenging features of our walk with HIM. Initially, when we come to the Lord, some requests were almost instant. Miracles happened immediately, and we are thrilled serving God. However, we begin to notice that one aspect of our desire or even a glaring need is not granted automatically like others then we realize that on this particular issue we have to wait on HIM practically. We can not hurry the Creator to perform within our time frame.
This phase of our life while we “waited and waited for God is what the psalmist in the above verses describes.
How do you handle your waiting time especially when you see this issue you are waiting on Him for did not take this long for others to get results?
Like the case of Hannah wanting a child and Peninnah, her rival was having babies without any stress.
What do you do while others are laughing at you that you don’t have proof that you are serving God?
HE will surely come through. Don’t Give Up.
We are used to timing and programming things like the computer but God at times does not work that way.
Don’t grumble.
Don’t abandon the faith at this crucial waiting moment.
Peter went fishing again immediately after the crucifixion of our Lord, and unfortunately, some disciples went with him, but they caught nothing. Eventually, the resurrection came.
Keep waiting.
Your resurrection time is coming.
“Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying,
“God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”?
Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”Isaiah 40: 27-31
Keep your focus on God.
No negative Confession.
Keep waiting.
HE will undoubtedly show up, and you will soon have a song of Praise in your mouth for your Victory.
“And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.” Hosea 2:15 (KJV)
Today God is reassuring you that all is not entirely lost.
HE is able to restore.
HE is the Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and the End.
You are in His Plans, and He makes all things to work together for you.
Don’t lose hope.
Whatsoever has been the situation that you have been passing through.
HE knows all
HE sees all.
“Who is a God like You, Who forgives iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retains not His anger forever, because He delights in mercy and loving-kindness. He will again have compassion on us; He will subdue and tread underfoot our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show Your faithfulness and perform the sure promise to Jacob and loving-kindness and mercy to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.” Micah 7:18-20 (AMPC)
That challenge is not an exit door for you to quit.
It is a Door of Hope.
God is still at work.
God is still on the throne.
Keep confessing the promises of God concerning it.
It is not for your humiliation, it is for your exaltation.
That situation is a door of hope, not for your despair.
” But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-17 (KJV)
God is Holy.
You must be holy and remain holy to fulfill God’s purpose for your life.
To succeed in all your life’s assignment, you must not only embrace holiness it must become your lifestyle.
“Nothing Beautifies like Holiness
Nothing Dignifies like Integrity
Nothing Uplifts like Uprightness
Nothing is as Colorful as Consecration
Nothing Prospers like Purity
Nothing cause to Flourish like Righteousness “
To continuously be empowered to fulfill your God-given life assignments you must walk and work in holiness from your heart that transcends into all the aspects of your life.
Holiness is attainable and doable as you yield yourself daily to the Holy Spirit who is our friend teacher and helper.
“In every relationship be swift to choose peace over competition and run swiftly toward holiness, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14 (TPT)
“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” John 13:17 (KJV)
One of the greatest joy you can daily experience is knowing and actually doing the perfect will of God.
“Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God…”Hebrews 10:9 (KJV)
Today move up and stay in the level of the pure joy that comes from not just knowing the will of God in your head but actually doing them.
The first Adam knew the perfect will of God, but when confronted by the temptation from the devil he chose not to do it.
He succumbed to the natural logic and desire.
The consequence of his choice plunged mankind into bondage.
However, the second Adam which is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came and chose to do what He knew and heard to be the right things.
Hence we have life restored back to the fallen man through the path of the cross.
There are inward joy and peace that you daily experience when you do the right things and don’t also forget there are consequences when you don’t do the right thing that you should do.
” I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8 (KJV)
Take that pleasure consistently in your daily life assignments to do the will of God.
The Joy of the Lord, which is your strength, will continuously flow from your obedience.
“So now put into practice what I have done for you, and you will experience a life of happiness enriched with untold blessings!” John 13:17 (TPT)
“If you know these things, blessed and happy and [a]to be envied are you if you practice them [if you act accordingly and really do them].” John 13:17 (AMPC)
Be empowered today as you find fulfillment and joy in doing what God has told you to do.
Happy are You when You Do what God has asked you to do.
“Abraham said to him, See to it that you do not take my son back there.”
Genesis 24:6 (AMPC)
Abraham was quite clear that there was no turning back on what God has commanded either for himself personally or his son Isaac. Therefore he instructed that under no circumstances should his son go back to where God had taken him from.
Remember God told Abraham to leave Chaldea and by Faith and Hope in HIM alone look for that promised land. (Genesis 12:1)
How are you doing today?
Are you going back to the things God clearly told you not to do?
Have you forsaken all the things God told you never to touch?
God commanded you to come out of them and be separated unto Him.
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)
Do not go back to the things you have renounced as a child of God.
Abraham kept trusting and believing God for what HE has promised him.
What are those challenges that you are facing and has made you go back and be doing those things whether secretly or openly?
God is able to do what HE has promised You.
All that HE told Abraham were fulfilled
Hold on to His Promise.
HE Will not fail you.
Remember that song “I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, no turning back. Tho’ none go with me, I still will follow,…”
