There is tale about a thirty eight year old jobless graduate who had
become a prayer project for his family and church. He had applied to so many
places and few of the companies he had interviewed before had told him they
will call him as to when to come and resume.
This guy continued holding on for another few years. When he clocked
forty, he said he could not take it anymore and was asked to do money rituals
which he did. He was told he had just thirteen months to live but those
thirteen months to him would be lived in unimaginable affluence. He agreed and
left.
As he was getting home that same day after the rituals, a letter from
one of the companies where he had interviewed was waiting for him, on opening
the letter; he saw an offer of $10,000 per month salary with some other juicy
allowances. He quickly Usain Bolted to the ritualisist’s place but met the man
dead.
Sometimes in our life, we tend to see God as too slow for us. Because
of the fast paced era we are in; fast food; fast cash; fast track education;
and all, we want what we want fast fast, as in we want it like yesterday.
Bible says in Isaiah 40:31 that “But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Psalm 37:9b
says “but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.”
One of the attributes of those who receive from God is that they are
good waiters. To wait means “I won’t let go until only YOU settle me. I don’t
care how long it’s going to take; I am ready to do the waiting because I know
you have my life in Your hands and my waiting will never be in vain.” Sometimes
things won’t work as we plan, but we just must learn to wait. We must learn to
work with God’s timing.
I pray that the grace to be able to wait on God always be released on
us all in Jesus Name. Amen!
