More Lessons Jam.1:6-22
To trust God means to take away your confidence
from man and focus entirely on God alone because the arm of flesh will fail but
the Word of God lives and abides forever. We cannot do God's part for Him. He
alone is God. We can only do our part and wait on Him to move on our behalf. We
cannot also ask God to do our part for us. Waiting on God is actually
partnering with the divine to deliver the fulfilment of our destiny. Sometimes it
could be tough waiting for God especially when you've prayed and prayed and He seems
not to say a word about what you're going through.
The best way to handle such seasons and
transitionary times is to remember that when a teacher sets an exam, he's quiet
and says nothing until the exams is over. Sometimes those tough times are test
times that the Lord is taking you through and like every good examination, He
intends to use those circumstances to take you to your next level.
Waiting on God has largely been misunderstood
to just mean fasting and praying endlessly on a pressing need or matter, but as
much as those exercises form the bedrock practices for waiting on God, there is
much more. Let's look at a few more things that we must get straight in trying
and waiting times.
1. Never murmur or worry. Many people
spend most of their waiting moments murmuring or worrying as though they have forgotten
that the God we serve can never fail. So to get quick answers to your prayers,
you cannot pray and worry; you must remain joyful at all times. You must depend
on the joy of the Lord to strengthen you. Crying and weeping will only depress
and keep you further away from taking hold of your miracle.
2. Sow seeds sacrificially. One of the principles
that are binding on the universe is the law of sowing and reaping. Sowing
provokes a harvest. Sow a prophet's offering to your pastor or make a vow to the
Lord in your local assembly and bind it to your request. Look for people who
God has blessed with the same thing you desire and sow a seed into their lives
to connect to the blessing in their lives. Be involved in projects to help the
needy or build the house of God. For when you put the matters of God's house
first, He puts the issues of your house first. Between the promise and the
provision is the process. Hang in there because Help is on the way for you!
