Help is on the Way II

Text: Psa.37:34

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!
