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...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

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...
