THE WAITING PERIOD.

THE WAITING PERIOD
This write up is a critical stage in the life of a man. There is always a waiting period in the life of a man. A lot have experienced their waiting period; a lot haven’t experienced theirs; while many will still at one point or the other experience theirs. A waiting period is a time of staying or remaining in expectation. A waiting period is a time of many cry and sorrow. A waiting period is an odd time. A waiting period is a time of mockery. A waiting period is a disturbing time. A waiting period is a time of deep thinking and reasoning’s. A waiting period is a time of agony and pain. A waiting period is a period that seems all hope is lost. A waiting period is a time of trials and tribulations. A waiting period is a time of self-pity. A waiting period is a time of depression. A waiting period is a dark time. A waiting period is a lonely time. It is devastating and worrisome. A waiting period is a time of discouragement.

                 Furthermore, last week I read from the newspaper a touching story of a woman that waited for years before giving birth to a baby. She was disturbed, she faced a lot from her husband’s family, she was mocked, she was confused, and she faced a lot that was her waiting period. But she believed in the most High GOD, who doesn’t forget his own. Oh what a waiting period! After several periods of waiting she gave birth to a baby. GOD doesn’t forget his own; it is always good to wait upon GOD in your waiting period. Those that wait on GOD are strengthened. The Psalmist says wait on the LORD, be of good courage and he will strengthen you. Though it takes grace to be courageous in your waiting period, but you have to gather yourself together and wait on GOD. The bible says those that wait upon the LORD, he will renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. Job faced his own waiting period, it was difficult, but he waited on GOD. He said in Job 42 vs. 2: “I know that you can do anything and that no one can stop you”. GOD can do anything; you need to trust him waiting on him. Though sorrow might last by night,  but joy cometh in the morning. It is well with us……

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...
