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……

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

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...
