WAITING SEASON

-

 



Psalm 27:14 KJV

Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.


God is a God of times and seasons. Seasons are given to us to season us. You can’t pray yourself out of a season but you can choose how you are going to weather it. Every season must accomplish its purpose in due time. 

There are different seasons, dry season and rainy season. No amount of fasting can shorten the seasons. You can’t get out of a season before it’s time. Be careful what you do when you are waiting. The right thing in the wrong season is a wrong thing. 


When we are waiting, it sometimes look like we are wasting time, but it is not so. There is something that God wants to accomplish. The best thing is to understand the season you are in and get yourself equipped while you are in it. Learn all that you need to learn. Grow out of the season. Don’t rush to get out of it. Your waiting season is a time of preparation.  Ask God for direction. 


Waiting season can take you through different stages of anger, frustration, rejection, sadness, joy, pain, anxiety and a lot more, depending on how you take it. It is not just about what you are waiting for but who you are waiting with and who you become. In your waiting season, God wants you to reflect His glory at the end of that season. You have to surrender to God and not have your own ideas. It’s God’s season not yours and He is willing to carry you through. It’s His plan not yours. His plan is to make all things beautiful in His time. Wait with hope and an assurance that He has never failed and He won’t fail this time. Don’t entertain fear. Don’t be passive in your waiting season. Engage yourself. Spend time in His Presence and in His Word. Wake up each day believing God will do a new thing and looking for Him to show up. He will surely show up. Be strengthened. 


Psalm 40:1 KJV

I waited patiently for the Lord ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.


Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

-
I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t
