WHILE YOU WAIT

-
It isn't easy when you have prayed, maybe fasted, cried, wailed and it seems God is not interested in your situation. He does . . . there is a timing!

There is this tendency to feel that it dosen't bother God. You may even find your counterparts and even those who are yet to be saved getting it easy.

Yet my brethren, you must learn to wait!

Will it be easy? No. Yet you must wait.

Waiting on the Lord works out our patience and proves our obedience.

Micah 7:7
"Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Lamentations 3:26
"It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD"

James 1:4
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

"while you are expecting blessings or promotion, keep enjoying and rejoicing in the one you have already, giving thanks."

Remember it is those who wait on the Lord that renew their strength.

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Seeking for alternatives will in the long term bring bitterness and regret.

Be careful whose advice and suggestions you listen to.
It is in the waiting times that evil suggestions come your way

The scriptures gives us mistakes made by our fathers in their waiting period.

* Abraham went in to Haggai
* Aaron built a golden calf for the children of Isreal to worship
* King Saul went ahead to make the sacrifice alone
* Judas dipped his hand in the offering bag
the list goes on and on and the result on each occassion was regret.

While waiting:
* keep busy getting to know God better, study His word
* join in reaching to those who don't have what you have.
* evangelise, tell people about the love of God in Jesus
* continue in prayer
* make it a habit to thank God for what you have already
* meditate
* do the work committed to you with all joy and dedication

Make good your waiting period!

Lets learn to wait.

May joy fill you today. I see you smiling and rejoicing from your inner man.

God bless you.

Love
@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
