-
Shall long beloved and welcome to today's morning glary devotion
-
facilitating today's Moninglory devotion. As Jessica a holy Let's pray,
-
Father Lord, we thank you for another opportunity to study
-
your word. Help us to understand your word and be
-
tew us of your word in Jesus name. Amen, Let's
-
kindly take our confession Joshor Chapter one, vers eight. This
-
book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,
-
but I shall meditate in its day and night, that
-
I may observe to do according to all that to
-
shorten in it. For then I will make my reprospose,
-
and then I will have good success a man when
-
the promise takes time. When the promise takes time, our
-
first scripture will not be taken. From Genesis eighteen, verse
-
nine to eleven, and he says, where is Sarah, your wife?
-
The visitors asked, she's inside the tent. Ibraham replied the
-
one of them said, I will return to you about
-
this time next year, and your wife, Sarah will have
-
a son. Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent.
-
Abraham and Sarah were both very bored by this time,
-
and Sarah was long past the age of having children.
-
Our second scripture will not be taken from Genesis twenty one.
-
First one to do. The Lord kept his word and
-
did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant,
-
and she gave bed to a son for Abraham and
-
his old age. This happened at just the time God
-
has said the truth, and Abraham named their son Isaac Amen.
-
When the promise takes time. As believers, delays are a
-
normal part of our journey. No matter what God has
-
spoken over your life, it will only manifest at the
-
right time. God's promises are never late, They arrive according
-
to his perfect timing. When God gives us a dream,
-
challenges will come. Difficulties, disappointments, dead ends, and moments that
-
seemed hopeless are all part of life. The presence of
-
obstacles does not mean God has forgotten his promise. Sometimes
-
the greatest test is not whether we believe God can
-
do it, but whether we can wait for him to
-
do it. The story of Abraham reminds us that whatever
-
God's tays over our lives will surely come to pass. Abraham,
-
most seventy five years old, when God promised that he
-
would become the father of many nations. Yet he did
-
not hold Isaac the promised sir, and so he was
-
one hundred years old for twenty five years. Abraham had
-
to trust God even when the promise seemed impossible. As
-
you grew older and Sarah remained barren, every natural circumstance
-
suggested that the promise would never happen. Yet God remain faithful.
-
The life of Abraham teaches us that God's promises often
-
requires patience. The waiting season is not prove that God
-
has forgotten us. Sometimes God uses the waiting period to
-
build our faith, character, and dependence on Him. Perhaps you
-
are in a season of waiting right now. Maybe you
-
were discouraged because the promise has not yet materialized. Maybe
-
you are tempted to quit because the process is taken
-
longer than you expected. Do not give up. God is
-
stolen control. What he has spoken concern in your life
-
will surely come to pass. Abraham waited twenty five years,
-
and God kept his promise. Just as God fulfilled his
-
word to Abraham, he will surely fulfill his words to you.
-
Just keep saving, reading the word, praying fellowship, and at
-
the right time, the promise will be fulfilled. Amen. Our
-
memory first for today is taken from Habakerck two the three,
-
and he says, don't it's linger, wait for it. It
-
will certainly come and will not delay. Ammen. Let's pray,
-
Lord Jesus, thank you for today. Thank you for your
-
word that has come into our hearts. Lord, we pray
-
and ask for grace to be able to wait on
-
you and trust that whatever it is that you have
-
said concerning our lives to come to pass and will
-
come to pass at the rise time. Give us a
-
grace to wait patiently and trust you in Jesus' name. Amen. God,
-
bless you so much for joining in today's episode. I
-
hope you've been blessed. See the same time tomorrow for
-
another episode. Have a great day.
