IN A HASTE

Post date: May 28, 2012 6:34:35 AM

There is nothing as sweet in Christianity as knowing and absolutely trusting than the Almighty God is with you in all your ways. There is nothing as sweet as putting your life and everything about you into His care. But unfortunately, there are so many people these days that are in a hurry to get to their next level in life as quickly as possible and if they have the opportunity, they will want it right now not minding the consequences that will follow thereafter.

I am glad to tell you with all confidence that there is nothing about you that God is not aware of; there is no situation that is unusual, surprising, unsettling about you in His sight which He cannot act decisively with absolute victory to your advantage in His time. There is nothing too hard for Him to do. He will never in any way deliberately keep any person indefinitely in any unpleasant condition permanently. The God you serve is merciful, well able, has a time and has a date for your joy and that day and date will never pass you by, if you continue faithfully in Him.

The world is in a hurry to get to the next level of discovery and the people of God are in the same mad rush with the world. There is nothing as bad as a false and untested security to depend on in any aspect of life. A baby who wants to crawl, walk and run the day he or she is born will have many difficulties in achieving such ambition, will suffer many bruises, and may likely harm his or her life permanently. That is the picture of many believer todays, struggling and crying bitterly on what they should wait on the Lord for.

God did not make all things the same day even in His strength as God and perfection in all wisdom. It took God six days to finish His creation. Know that every dream you have has a date and a time attached to it, so is every vision, and every promise of God for you. One thing that is not often shown to us in our dreams, vision and promises from God is the time line attached to such a revelation, but God not willing to keep us in the dark, reveals this in the scriptures “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1

 “This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. Look at the proud, they trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.” Habakkuk 2:3-4 (NLT)

Did you know that despite your expertise and preparation for any competitively race, if you beat the gun thrice you will be disqualified? That is going ahead of the time. But thanks be to our God, despite our previous haste and failures in our dreams, visions and in His promises, He will always give us another chance despite the number of times you have tried to beat the gun.

This is our assurance in fulfilling God’s promises; our God had been tested and proven strong enough and well able to do all that concerns us when we patiently and faithfully wait on Him.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste” Isaiah 28:16

Do not be in a haste concerning your dreams, visions and God’s promises for you, being in haste opens us upon for disappointments, anxiety, mistakes, waste of resources, regrets and lots, and lot of struggling and bitter cries.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.  Psalms 27:14, 37:34
