Be Patient

DATE - 21st April, 2022

TOPIC - Be Patient 

BIBLE TEXT - James 5:7 KJV
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.



When the Son of man (Jesus Christ) comes (returns) will He find faith here on earth? (Luke 18:8b) This question reveals how so many saints on the last day will be found wanting for their lack of patience and faith in the Lord. We are instructed to be patient with an expectation of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our patience must be carried along with righteous expectations/desires as the scripture says - Proverbs 10:24b KJV ..but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Yes! God will grant our righteous desires as we wait on Him daily.

The most beautiful and lasting relationships takes a lot of time. To trust takes time. To raise a solid foundation takes time. To be a mature Christian takes time. Before you manifest in the office of your calling it takes time. Before the vision manifest fully, it takes time. Though we are called children of the Most High God but only those who faithfully and patiently wait on the promises of God shall be crowned as the Sons of God. David was anointed as the King of Israel by prophet Samuel when he was a teenager but didn't jump to be the king immediately. The Bible says he behaved himself wisely (1Samuel 18:19) and at the age of 30 he became the king of Judah before he sat as king over Israel at age 37.

Will you wait for the second coming of our savior Jesus? If you will then have this in mind and heart while you wait - Heaven is real! Don't get distracted by those in love with the pleasures and beauties of this world. They are only temporal. Don't let temporal things take away your eternity in Christ Jesus! Wait patiently and faithfully.


PRAYER
Lord Jesus, help me to wait on you with righteous expectations of your second coming. I long to see you in the beauty of your holiness.

INSIGHT
Be Patient

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
