PATIENCE WHILE WAITING
(Scripture) :- Psalms 27:14, ESV."Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"
(The Word) :- Good morning Great and Mighty Sons and Daughters of the Most High. Sure the night was good.
It's in the fallen human nature to be impatient. For instance, anyone who's been on a queue for a while won't take too long before he begins to complain or even look for an alternative. In Gal.5:22, one of the fruit of the Spirit listed there is 'patience', it therefore follows that impatience is from the devil.
The first fact that we would like to establish this morning is that if God has promised, then it'll surely come to pass. "When?" is the question. Numbers 23:19 tells us that God will not lie. If He has said it, then He will make it good. It may be delayed, it may tarry but it will surely come. Our God is a faithful God. It is so serious that the Bible says that if a prophet speaks in God's name and it doesn't come to pass, then it didn't come from God (Deut.18:22).
Abraham was promised and for 25years, he waited until it came (Romans 4:16-22); King David was also promised the throne and He had to wait about 15years. However, in the process of waiting, many lose focus and make a diversion towards an alternative.
This is where they miss it. Habakkuk 2:3 tells us that every vision and promise has a date of accomplishment. If it comes earlier than that, it could cause some damage to the person involved, probably because he/she isn't ready for it yet. We just gotta wait. He's probably preparing us for that miracle.
No matter how hard a child asks for car, even if we have the money to buy 30 cars, we can't give that child one yet until he's old enough. So it is with God. Has God promised you? I can assure you that it will come to pass. Patience is the key and let Him work on you while you wait. Don't lose focus. Let not the devil give you a photocopy. It'll never be like the original. #SELAH
