PATIENCE IS THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH

PATIENCE IS THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH
There was no saint of old who wasn’t patient with God; there was no man of faith who wasn’t a man of patience
Patience is the ability to wait when you think God isn’t concerned about you, or God is late in responding to your situation.
Sarah was past 90 years waiting on God for fruitfulness, Abraham was about 100, Moses was 80 years before God gave him breakthrough in his ministry, David had his own issues too etc.
God has called us to learn from these people.
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  Heb. 6:12
You too may have faith that God will make it happen in your life, but do you have patience too? The evidence of faith is patience; if you believe it will happen in your life; then be ready to wait till it happens.
While waiting you will surely look like a fool, Sarah looked like a fool, you’ll surely be laughed at, Hannah was made jest of, you’ll certainly be deserted and betrayed by friends, David was deserted and betrayed and you’ll murmur and accuse God of indifference, Abraham accused God of such and you will preferred death to living, Elijah called for death etc. but though these people experienced all these emotions and setbacks yet they continued to be strong in the faith and were patience till they got their miracles.
Faithless men lacks patience, they became faster than God and fell into bigger trouble.
Don’t give up; do you believe that God will make it happen in your life? Show me you believe by your patience with God
God bless you

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
