JULY 28th – CAPSULE 28
TOPIC: IMPATIENCE ( A SPIRITUAL WASTER)
BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 15vs12-13 – And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
A prodigal act is a wasteful spirit which comes to challenge the fruit of patience in the life of a believer. Impatience offers you alternatives to divert you from the course of the spirit and from your progress and maturity in the things of God. The younger son of the man was enticed by the spirit of impatience after showing him all the wealth and things he could get from his father’s possession.
The young man lacked patience and walked in the deceit of impatience and requested for what he could not control or handle at the time of request. Because it was not time for his manifestation. And he wasted his substance so fast that poverty became his clothing.
King Saul was also impatient and concluded that prophet Samuel was a late comer and he decided to enter the office of a prophet that he was not called into and he wasted many substances (1 Samuel 13vs8-14). As a child of God we must seek grace to walk in patience by craving for the fruits of the spirit and praying for endurance, perseverance and Godly patience.
Prayer: Help me Father to do away/cast out every impatient spirit and works of the flesh wasting away virtues in my life.
Insight: An impatient man is a spiritual waster.
