Topic: Time is on your side! [Our Daily Manna ODM Friday, February 16th, 2018]
Basic Scripture: Psalm 40: 1-10
I remember the former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who quipped, ‘’I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end’’.
Yes! Patience was one of her secrets to so much success! Note that impatience and hurry can become your decoration stoppers this year! Indeed the whole world today is in a hurry! We know share the most intimate information via email, instant messaging, snap chat and text to get a quick message out! Our televisions host literally hundreds of stations and programs to choose from so we don’t need to wait for our entertainment! We can like an article or a YouTube video and create fame for its publisher overnight! Revolutions can come about almost spontaneously from posts on Twitter.
Ask Donald Trump! We have instant hot, microwave-prepared meals of every cuisine type to speed up our food preparation; no need to make a homemade meal from the scratch. In fact, I heard of speed dating recently. Wow! You can now date and marry in a hurry! But the Holy Spirit is saying to user of today’s devotional that no matter what is happening around your life and ministry, you are not defeated till you lose your patience! The slogan of the US Army of Engineers is, ‘’the difficult we do immediately! The impossible takes a little longer.’’ Give God time! Yes, God can do anything and take you over the mountains that seem impossible, but you must be patient. Patience and time are necessary for your heart’s desires to manifest.
Determine to be patient this year/beyond! Keep seeing the possibilities around you. After the storm comes the rainbow. After the dry season comes the rain! After Defeat, another chance is available! After sin comes forgiveness! After the night comes the day! Problems are guidelines not stop lines! Refuse to rush ahead out of fear! Time is on your side because God owns time! Ask Sarah, Abraham or Zachariah/Elizabeth! Note Vs1 of today’s 1st scripture: I waited patiently for the Lord…Trust God! Refuse to give up! STILL WAIT FOR HIM! Time and God are miracle workers! Wait I say, on the Lord! Pray now!
