THE WAITING ROOM PART 1

Hebrews 6:11(And desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself, 14 saying, surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiply thee. 15 And so, after he had patiently endured he obtained the promise).

The race of destiny is a very delicate one. There are so many intrigues that come along as we continue the race that may bring about impatience. It is not everyone in the waiting room that gets to see the king; some could not wait, while some did not meet the requirement when their time comes? May we not be found wanting in Jesus name.  We need patience to obtain the promise of God in our lives. We also need to have faith in God who has promised us that he is faithful.  Everyone who embarks on a race has one thing in mind that is to win the prize. The prize is the reward of our engagement in the race but God does not promise to give us the prize at the beginning or in the middle of the race. Prizes are awarded at the end of every race. Jesus Christ says if any man draws back my soul shall have no pleasure in him (Hebrew 10:38). God does not like a quitter; he takes pleasure in a winner. As a redeemed child of God what it takes to win the race has been deposited in us at redemption. Jesus says as many that received him he gave them power to become what God has destined them to be (John 1:12). It is our responsibility to activate the power given to us at redemption. The bible teaches us that we should follow the example of those who through patience obtained the promise. Our God is a God of time and season (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We cannot control his time because his way is higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). He knows the beginning and the end. We need to recognize when our prayer has been answered and wait for the open manifestation of our answer because not knowing it may lead to frustration and impatience. Impatience is a robber of destiny. When God promised Abraham that he would give him an heir, he did not give him a time frame. He waited for the promise of that child for 25years even though his body and the womb of his wife Sarah were dead; they still waited knowing very well that God cannot fail. God expected us to have the same mentality following him as we continue in this race; that is why he said that we should follow the examples of those that obtained their promise through faith and patience. To wait for the promise may be tiring but God said that after we have done all the things that’s requiring of us we should stand (Ephesians 6:10-20). The promise is for an expected time that though it may be tarry but we should wait (Habakkuk 2:3). Some of us are in our waiting moments. Please while waiting don’t remain idle because those who stay idle fall asleep when their turn comes. Keep praising God and remain in fellowship with him that will remind him that you are still waiting and have not lost hope. The scripture says Abraham kept praising God while waiting and it was accounted for him as righteous. Your waiting time may be your preparation time so that you will not lose your throne prematurely like Samson. You may be thinking that you are ready but God knows you more than you know yourself and he also knows the powers waiting to stop you so he needs to equip you above them. Abraham has a very good relationship with God and he made him a promise. God does not make a promise to a stranger; you need to become his son or daughter. Salvation is the first step to form a relationship with God. Take this bold step today and be saved in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
