Good morning my friends
I believe God in the last few weeks and months has stretched our faith. Some thought it was all about the enemy doing "things". It was God stretching and testing us ...preparing us to be effective for this particular age of existence on this earth.
Anarchy seems to be the order of the day and the great Falling Away has began. I am in shock as I see some who served God in the last season, have turned to all sorts of "other".
I ask God to show you the true condition of your heart today and for you to proactively deal with doubt, fear and unbelief when it tries to come your way. I pray God will not only increase our faith, but that he will grow us in trusting him.
You see it can be easy to trust God when our wait is short, but what about those seasons when we must endure - humbly waiting on God's timing.
I think waiting on God is not something anyone of us like to do, but yet it is necessary in God's character building program for us, as during the waiting season we develop patience and endurance and as we sit at his feet waiting, we learn to absolutely depend on him.
I can share a testimony here of something that I waited on for a long time and this certainly made me understand why he causes us to wait sometimes.
Most my life I had kidney trouble, I was even hospitalised at 6 years old because of this. When I started serving God wholeheartedly at age 30, I discovered God's word on healing and believed him to heal my kidneys. Well when I had my daughter at 33 years old, I was told my kidneys are getting worse and I would soon need dialysis. Well a negative prognosis after I started believing God did not stop me from believing God. When I came to England some 16 years later.....I was also given the prognosis that I would need to begin dialysis. So they sent me to do detailed tests.
Finally, I complied maybe a year later and decided to do these tests. Well I certainly had a miracle - they said I now had 3 kidneys (which I know I wasn't born with) and my creatinine levels were perfect.
If God had healed all those years before, they I would'nt have been able to testify about God's healing power to the medical personnel over here in England too. God truly been glorified.
I have other things I am waiting on and I am sure you are too. God always keeps us waiting, it truly keeps us humble and during the waiting season to depend on him for sustenance (just like the manna).
Let us have a mind set as in Proverbs 3:5 to 7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
