BLESSINGS Ephesians 2:1-8 Devotional:- “How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.” (V. 3) TLB. In the demonstration of the love of Christ to us, believers need to come to awareness that He has made every blessing available to us in heavenly places. You need to know that nothing happens physically on earth unless it has been first approved by heaven. You will observe some people trying to achieve something you consider not too difficult, but it eventually becomes impossible for them. This is because heaven has not approved it for them. You must have heard apostle Paul use the language, “from the foundation of the world," which is the things already concluded in heaven for us.  But as for you, the Bible says, God has already blessed you with all blessings in the heavenly places. It means they are approved for you. And whatever heaven approves for you, He will support you to attain it. You can...

WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD


2 Samuel 5:1-10
Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV

One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word.

In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 16 years old (I Samuel 16:11-13). He had to pass through situations, but having employed the wisdom of patience, the promises eventually came to pass.

Friend, you need to learn the same wisdom if you are going to be counted among the winners. He made all things beautiful in their time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Listen to this, the higher God is taking you, the tougher the journey will be. People who are not going far may get there quickly, but if God is taking you higher like He took Abraham, Joseph, David, Moses, and Caleb, then learn the wisdom of patience. Though the promise may tarry, it will surely come (Habakkuk 2:3). Job said, I will wait until my change comes (Job 14:14). Your miracle is at the door; be patient.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to wait.
