WAIT FOR IT


While on campus, we were taught that if we have God, we have all things. It looked very vague to me as I couldn't see how having one thing could be equal to having all things. However, before I graduated, I became foolish enough to believe that if I have God, I have all things.

Have you ever been at a point where you want to get something that you need and you are certain of getting it, but God says you should not get it yet? Well, at first it could be easy but as the pressure builds, you begin to wonder why God has asked you to wait.

David had a similar experience when he had the opportunity to kill Saul and end his miserable life. He was living in the bush without money, food and shelter. Saul has turned his life into the worst anyone could think of.

Now, here is an opportunity to take what rightfully belongs to him, after all Prophet Samuel had anointed him. What else? David had a prophecy from God. What more could he need? Yet he waited.

Severally, we wonder why God is still telling us to wait when the coast seems to be clear by our own calculation. I don't have all the answers, but I have read the bible and saw people that didn't have the answers too, but they believed.

Abraham waited, Sarah waited, Joshua waited, Rachel waited, David waited, Daniel waited, Zechariah waited, the Apostles waited. Do you know Jesus waited too?

When I was having my industrial training some years back, I started attending a brother's prayer meeting where we were always two. The other brother once told me something. He said "We do not have an irresponsible Father". That word stuck with me and has helped me at several points.

If God says wait, ask for strength to wait perfectly. Brother James told us that patience has a work that it does within us. Allow the work to continue even though you may not see it. Trust God. Let's see a verse of the bible.

Hebrews 10:37 [" For] [yet a little while,] [And] [He][] [who is coming will come and will not] [tarry.] He will eventually show up. Don't let go of God at any point. Out of Him, we can do nothing. Wait.

When I was in the third year in college, the president of my fellowship told me that If I lose everything around me, I must not lose the word of God. My advise to you is that you stick to the Word. Study it over and over. Believe God concerning the pressure that is coming from your environment; walk in love.

Acts 20:32 "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Don't be tired of believing; WAIT!

Waiting upon the Lord
Mary n Martha waited for long for their brother
But the thing about our God is,he is never too late
When Jesus came around,the understanding of waiting upon the Lord was unveiled cos in ur eyes it may seems it's getting late but he will come at the right time

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
