Why Wait

Often when it comes to Gods promises we get very excited thinking that it will come tomorrow. We wait and then wait a little bit more. Days turn to weeks then weeks turn to months and then months to years.

You try this and that and you still are waiting. You do all that you are meant to do as the one who is expectant. Indeed the bible says do not get tired of doing good for in due season you shall reap. You tithe even if it is the last money you have. You give when you have nothing to give. You are still calling on the name of JESUS despite what he is allowing you to go through.

Ever come to a point where you think JESUS has abandoned you that GOD does not care. You are attacked left and right or the problem you face has been going on and on. Despite GOD himself telling you it is over.

Brothers and sisters push on and hold on your breakthrough is on the way. I personally know a woman of GOD who has stayed 8 years without a man and still going on. Yet now she is worn out from waiting for GOD to fulfill his promises over her life. She had her husband die in an accident then GOD promised her a new husband. But it has taken her 8 years and still waiting. Honestly speaking she has managed to keep herself pure by the grace of GOD. But I can sense her desperation and weariness man 8 years wow it must be GOD, some people can not even last a week.

But then with all you can do you keep yourself pure and still in faith and nothing seems to happen. Why must you wait. Well take a look at Saul and David.

Saul was the peoples choice meaning give us now GOD when He GOD said wait. the people of Israel chose a king before GOD was ready to give them one. GOD already had David for a king but he was still not  born yet.You may say but saul was anointed by GOD through Samuel just like david yet GOD new saul will fail.and he was not GOD choice 1 sam 12:13.

For starters he was anointed with oil from a vial which is man made 1 sam 10:1 while david was anointed with oil from a horn which is GOD made 1 sam 16:1. David learned obedience through suffering and his character was built along the process. On the other hand Saul got it easy, one day he is looking for donkeys the next moment he is anointed king. Faith is built up over time when you look at Saul he did not have an intimate relationship with GOD. Meaning he was never really pushed to the limit where he had to trust GOD through obedience. On all occasions he failed miserably because he never had his character built by GOD.

GOD has great things for you and he is allowing you and me to wait more because he is building your character and strengthening you for your breakthrough that will blow your mind. It was easy and still is easy for GOD to give you quick miracles but they may not last. You see when GOD gives you a promotion he removes the ladder so you cannot come down. But unless you are willing to wait, you will receive man made breakthrough rather than GOD made.

Why the wait I say so that like David you may receive GOD made breakthrough as it is written in eccl 3:11a He has made everything beautiful in his time. prov 10:22 the blessing of the LORD makes one prosper and he adds no sorrow to it.psalms 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows, for he provides for those he loves, while they are asleep.While you look like you are doing nothing GOD is at work shifting things for you. While others are busy working hard GOD promotes you to overtake them. GOD does not follow protocol or procedure. My friend wait for the LORD, I say wait for the LORD.
