1 Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Following God's direction requires patience but not everyone is willing to be patient because to them God is too slow; forgetting that He says that His way is not our way and His thought is not our thought (Isaiah 55:9-11). Everything concerning your life and destiny is written by Him and there is nothing you can do to change what He has written concerning your journey. You are not here because of yourself alone, you are here for an assignment and the one who sent you knows the way better than you, so why are you in a hurry. He is the rock of ages, our sure foundation and rock of defence; and without Him we can do nothing. The only way we can be hopeful for greater glory is when our feet are firm on Him, our rock but many because of impatience and lack of trust in God have slipped away from their rock. God in His mercy has made a way for us to always get our feet back on the rock as soon as we realise that our defence is no longer with us. With patience and complete confidence in God what is written concerns you will surely come to pass. Habakkuk 2:3 (For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry). Let's look at the example of Zachariah the high priest and his wife Elizabeth. Luke 1:6 (And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years).
The scripture says that they were both righteous but yet they were barren; their barrenness is not because of anything they have done wrong, not at all but because God has a plan for them which they knew nothing about. They were actually waiting for God´s agenda without knowing it. Mary the mother of Jesus needs to come up at an age to carry the Messiah because somehow they are destiny kinds of overlap. Luke 1:20 (And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season). When the time come, Zachariah´s faith could not carry the message from the Angel but that did not stop God from carrying out His agenda instead he went dumb so that he will not use his mouth to scatter things for God or delay His plan because his an anointed man and has the authority in his tongue to bless or to curse. The key point is that, while waiting please continue to serve God and be in His presence; remain standing on the rock. The Angel met Zachariah at the place of service. I pray for someone the Angel carrying your answer will not miss you, in Jesus name. Many were standing on rock before but their feet had slipped away from the rock just because they thought God is too slow, they couldn't wait for Him to perfect His plan for them. Zachariah remains firm on the rock and God brings to pass his desire. If your feet are no longer on the rock the ground you are now standing in is sinking sand and you will soon go down into the valley. Jesus Christ is our solid rock, the rock of our salvation and our rock of defence; He is our hope; our only guarantee that our tomorrow will be greater than today. The question is, how do I get my feet back on the rock? By repenting of all your sins and asking God for forgiveness; and reconnect with Him by rededicating your life to Him (1 John 1:9). As soon as king David realises that his feet are no longer on the rock he gets back quickly before it is too late (Psalm 51). When Peter denies Jesus 3 times, he wept bitterly and got his feet back on the rock quickly (Luke 22:60-62). Luke 22:31 (And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me).
Your adversary knows the plan of God for you and he also knows that as long as feet remain firm on the rock it will definitely come to pass; his agenda is to cast doubt in your heart in order to get your feet off the rock. Friends, I have good news for you, Jesus Christ is waiting for you, his hand is stretched towards you, he wants to get you back on the rock in case you slip away or you are not even standing there in the first place. Hurry up and give him your hand by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
