TOPIC: PATIENCE
BIBLE TEXT: For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise – Hebrews 10 vs 36
A believer must equip him or herself with this virtue from on the tree of the Holy Spirit. Without it, man becomes a monster, desperate and misled. To walk in the will of God Our Father, you must seek righteousness and in doing so, you need patience from the Lord and it starts the moment you trust Christ Jesus and His written Word.
The above scripture reveals this truth, that there is a promise to be received through patience. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, ‘Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? – Luke 18 vs 8b. This question is to challenge every believer to wait patiently for the promise of Our Lord Jesus Christ and not lose hope in the Word of God.
Many failing Christians have lost hope and many will still lose hope, but the Word of life says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40 vs 31a). When you wait on God patiently you become renewed in Christ. Also in waiting on God you must be prepared like the wise virgins in Matthew 25, you must wait righteously, and in the fear of the Lord. Because of their consistency and patience, they met the bridegroom while the impatient 5, missed him.
In waiting on God, you must study the Word of God and activate faith with actions on everyday life activities.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to wait patiently on all your promises in my life and through your Word in Jesus name.
Insight: Patience is a wonderful fruit from the tree of the Holy Spirit, you can receive it in Him everyday.
Thank you for this. I am richly blessed and edified.
