Being a Waiter in The Process of Restoration


Book(s) Genesis 17:2-6, Isaiah 54:1-5

In this season, the promise of restoration still stands to us as brethren and therefore we need to hold fast to that assurance. Additionally, what are you doing when you are waiting for the restoration promise to come to accomplishment?
The Lord calls us to serve in the kingdom of God as we wait for the promise to come. In comparison to the waiters/stewards in a restaurant, who wait for promotion as they continue serving dutifully, we should also purpose to serve God wholeheartedly in His Kingdom.
Genesis 17:2-6 New King James Version (NKJV)
2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of [a]many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called [b]Abram, but your name shall be [c]Abraham; for I have made you a father of [d]many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
Reading from Genesis about the father of faith; Abraham. He was promised when He was 99 years old and he continued serving with the hope and assurance of what God spoke and promised.
Matthew 6:33 New King James Version (NKJV)
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Also read Isaiah 54:1-5 on restoration and expansion of your territory
Brethren, serving in God’s kingdom means 100% commitment to Him and Him alone you shall worship and serve both in the household of faith and in ministry. Honesty is an ingredient to serving dutifully in the Kingdom of God.
So what is serving 100%?
It’s giving your all without expecting anything in return and the beauty with God’s Word is that; when you commit to serving dutifully, the reward follows you when you least expect it to.
In conclusion, I leave you with a few questions...
While you are waiting…
Are you giving your all?
Are you doing your best?
Are you listening to God?
Are you exercising Honesty?
Are you serving without demands/expectations in your heart?
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...
