Waiting on the Lord

Have you ever reached a point in life where you have tried everything (prayer, fasting) and now you have nowhere to go or nothing else to do?
Believers, God in His Word speaks of waiting on the Lord in several chapters and verses in the Bible. The process of waiting is not easy, ask Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb. It took him 1000 unsuccessful attempts for that one breakthrough whose invention is still used up to date. Let’s look at several verses that talk about waiting on the Lord.
Isaiah 8:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
And I will wait on the Lord,
Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I will hope in Him.
Brethren, purpose to speak this Word in your life when you are wondering what to do next in your life?
Let’s look at another verse.
Isaiah 26:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
For in Yah, the Lord, is [a]everlasting strength.
God’s power never ends and is never defeated. At the right time He will come to your rescue and elevate you to greater heights.
Now, the next verse is one of my favorites, why? Because it clearly shows me that my own intellect, power, ability (call it as you may) cannot get me out of my situation but only God can get me out of my situation.
Proverbs 3:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
The next two verses gives me assurance that the Lord answers the cry of the saints at the appointed time.
Psalm 40:1 New King James Version (NKJV)
Faith Persevering in Trial
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
40 I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.

Habakkuk 2:3 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
More verses for self-study
Romans 8:25


So, believers, I pray that message encourages you and gives you hope and strength to continue waiting on the Lord for once the appointed time has come, it’ll be worth it to you.
This message of encouragement was shared by Sister Catherine Njeri. A devout believer of Jesus Christ and a member of Teaching Transformation Ministry.
Be Blessed

Serving God Has Never Been in Vain

Image
Sometimes in serving God we may feel like it's all in vain, like there is no benefit to what we are doing. Time and time again God reminds us in His Word that serving Him has never been in vain. Let us look at a few stories from the Bible that demonstrate this, so that you and I can be encouraged to keep serving God, and serve Him with all we have.  2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”  2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”  3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour ...

Overcoming the Enemies of Our Destinies

There are enemies ready and armed to prevent us from getting to our destinies. Wherever there is a vision, there is opposition.  Elisha was given by God to Elijah as a servant, and as a result he received a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life, when Elijah left (2 Kings 2:15). God in turn gave Gehazi to Elijah as a servant, who sadly could not get to his destiny because he was overcome by the enemies of destiny (2 Kings 5:20-27).  As a Christian, be alert as there are enemies out to hinder you from getting to your destiny, and walking in it.  In John's open letter to the churches in Asia, John addresses these enemies: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;...

Secrets of a Blessed Man

Let the Word of God always be your mirror, your map to lead you to your blessings. Though we are blessed through faith in Jesus, we need His Word to show us how to live a blessed life, and enjoy the blessings bestowed upon us. Psalm 112:1-10 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroa...
