So what do we do when in our bid to receive our breakthrough, we have sacrificed, worked hard, read the Word of God diligently, shared our blessings with others, exhibited faith, submitted to God, and kept on praying. And yet, we still await answers to our petitions! If this is your situation, listen carefully:
It is time to STAND!
Standing means waiting on God while remaining in our attitudes of worship, warfare, holiness, faith, and love. It means putting on the complete armor of God, and staying on the battlefield for whatever length of time it takes for us to overcome. To win, to be complete, or to be blessed.
While waiting on God, remember that His times and seasons are different from ours (Isaiah 55:8-11), and that we are working according to His seasons. Keep you gaze upon Him therefore, do not let sin back into your life, and watch God ultimately come through on your behalf.
Sometimes our situations are scary and hopeless, but ‘the hope of the hopeless’ and ‘help of the helpless’ is Jesus Christ the Son of God, and He has already won the victory for you (1 Cor. 15:57).
Have you done all? Have you waited a long time for answers? Do you think deliverance is coming too late?
Our God is never late, but always on time! Wait on Him, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31).
Stand still therefore in your situation, clothed in God’s armor, and see His hand re-order things for you.
STAND!
Lesson of the Week1. Ask God for faith and patience, and wait on His promises (James 1:3-4 & Hebrews 11:6)
2. Stand without wavering or looking back (James 1:6 & Luke 9:62)
Your situation has tried your faith, but look, has it not birthed patience in you? God wants you to be patient, because what He wants to give is so special that it is taking Him some time to prepare. Wait patiently!
As you wait, do not doubt God’s ability or willingness to bless you! Those who give up prematurely never quite make it; quitters never win, and winners never quit.
I challenge you this week to put all your cares in God’s hands. He has promised never to leave nor forsake those who trust in Him (Deuteronomy 31:8).
STAND STRONG, AND GLORIFY GOD’S NAME!
Weekly Nugget: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Eph. 6:13-17; KJV)
