WAITING IS NOT WASTING

Read Deut 11:10-12.

There is a reward for your waiting. There is a reward for your labour of love. Are you wondering when is it gonna be your turn to enter into your rest? Are you wondering when your breakthrough will come? In fact, I see you thinking; 'I have prayed, fasted, obeyed God and His word and trusted Him, yet the status quo remain'. Friend, have got good news for you. It is because God is at work preparing you and preparing your inheritance. Believe it, great things don't come easily and cheaply.

Notice vs. 10, "For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden". You are no more a candidate for vegetable garden where you toil greatly and reap so little. You are a candidate for a field of God. God wants you to know that waiting is not wasting!

What He's preparing for you will settle you for life and will put a smile in your face. Don't despair, the prophecy over your life will manifest but there is always a time of trial and waiting for the word to come to pass. Beware, don't force things to happen by yourself because; "wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished..."-Prov 13:11a. "But those who wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint"- Isaiah 40:31.

The place of your rest is a great place. Hold on, keep the faith, He who has brought you thus far will keep you to the end. See vs. 11-12, "but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and rains of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares, the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year". Glory! Halleluyah!!

Now, are you still in any doubt at all about where you are going to end or about what God wants to deliver into your hands?

Shout it to shame your enemy; I am waiting, I am not wasting!

Shalom!
