Indeed Father You are the Lord. The owner of all that we are and ever will be. Thank You precious Jesus for who You are. Thank You for the death on the cross that we might live. Thank You for Your love and care. Thank You for upholding us even in the most darkness moment of our life blessed be thy Holy Name forever and ever.

Beloved, how fast the week went by. Friday is starring at us and we bring to our Friday tonic where we consider so much of what we should be doing as children of God.

It had been a wonderful week for me working though some challenging that I have to depend not on my strength but on the power and strength of the Almighty God. Wow! Faithful is our God I tell you.

However, today’s ministration is coming your well to announce to you again the Jesus is beautify in all situation. I am a witness and am sure you have some testimonies too.

I may not to be able to point at what the situation is at the moment in your life but Jesus knows it all and today’s message is coming your way to help You get over any situation You are facing right way.

Beloved, is possible the Lord is saying again to you to wait on Him. We have come across this many times this year and I believe it is coming again for a reason.

We pledge our allegiance to God alone this week because He alone is Our God and can do all things. Can you dare believe that there nothing is impossible for Him to do or to see you through? Faithful is our God and faithful He will remain forever in Jesus Name.

Perhaps, you want to hear from the Master’s mouth that He cares for you? Then come with me and you will blessed:

“Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?” Luke 24:38

“Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?” The Lord cares for all things, and the meanest creatures share in His universal providence, but His particular providence is over His saints. “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him.”

“Precious shall their blood be in His sight.” “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose.” Let the fact that, while He is the Saviour of all men, He is specially the Saviour of them that believe, cheer and comfort you.

You are His peculiar care; His regal treasure which He guards as the apple of His eye; His vineyard over which He watches day and night. “The very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Let the thought of His special love to you be a spiritual pain-killer, a dear quietus to your woe: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

God says that as much to you as to any saint of old. “Fear not, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” We lose much consolation by the habit of reading His promises for the whole church, instead of taking them directly home to ourselves. Believer, grasp the divine word with a personal, appropriating faith.

Think that you hear Jesus say, “I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not.” Think you see Him walking on the waters of thy trouble, for He is there, and He is saying, “Fear not, it is I; be not afraid.” Oh, those sweet words of Christ!

May the Holy Ghost make you feel them as spoken to you; forget others for awhile—accept the voice of Jesus as addressed to you, and say, “Jesus whispers consolation; I cannot refuse it; I will sit under His shadow with great delight.”

Wait? Wait again, Lord? but ….:

Learning To “Wait” On The Lord

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.” (Psalm 130:5, 6) (See Psalm 5:3; 130:5-7; 17:14; 37:7, 34; 38:15; 119:84)

“WAIT” (Author Unknown)

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried: Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate, and the Master who gently said, “Child, you must wait.”

“Wait?” You say, wait!,” my indignant reply. “Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is you hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By faith, I have asked, and am claiming your Word.

“My future and all to which I can relate hangs in the balance, and You tell me to wait? I’m needing a ‘yes’ a go-ahead sign, or even a ‘no’ to which I can resign.

“And Lord, You promised that if we believe we need but to ask, and we shall receive. Lord, I’ve been asking, and this is my cry: I’m weary of asking! I need a reply!”

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate, as my Master replied once again, “You must wait.” So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut, and grumbled to God, “So, I’m waiting… for what?”

He seemed, then, to kneel, and His eyes wept with mine, and He tenderly said, “I could give you a sign. I could shake the heavens, and darken the sun. I could raise the dead, and cause mountains to run.

“All you ask me I could give, and pleased you would be. You would have what you want – but, you wouldn’t know Me. You’d not know the depth of My love for each saint: You’d not know the power that I give to the faint.

“You’d not learn to see through the clouds of despair: You’d not learn to trust just by knowing I’m there; you’d not know the joy of resting in Me when darkness and silence were all you can see.

“You’d never experience that fullness of love, as the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove; you’d know that I live and I save… (for a start), but you’d not know the depth of the beat of My heart.

“The glow of My comfort late into the night. The faith that I give when you walk without sight. The depth that’s beyond getting just what you asked of an infinite God, who make what you have last.

“You’d never know, should your pain quickly flee, what it means that ‘My grace is sufficient for Thee.’ Yes, your dreams for your loved one overnight would come true. But, Oh, the loss! If I lost what I’m doing in you!

So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see that the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me. And though oft may My answers seem terribly late. My most precious answer of all is still, wait.‘” (Adapted from FOTM)

Is a situation of someone reading this devotional now? Perhaps, God is speaking to you, will you be silent as you are instructed and see the hand of God working out that situation for you? May His grace be sufficient to wait and be blessed in Jesus Name.

Let this teaching of this month not be in vain in our lives in Jesus name. Even Jesus learnt from the things He suffered but He endured to the end. Father grant us grace to endure to the end. Help us we pray Thee.

Beloved, we see on Monday by God’s grace. Have a wonderful weekend while pondering on these thoughtful message. Don’t forget, He promised never to “leave you nor forsake you.” He also said “free not, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Be silent” Even He will lead you in green pasture”

Remain blessed in the Lord.
