TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
In scripture, Abraham’s
circumstances were beyond his control. He was way too old to have a child,
but God promised him that he would have a son. What did he do while he was
waiting? Scripture says, “He grew strong in faith by giving praise to God.”
He got up every morning and said, “Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness.
Thank You that my baby is on its way. Thank You that You are faithful to Your
Word.” He kept thanking God for what he heard in his spirit, and eventually,
the promise came to pass.
Like Abraham, God has put
dreams in your heart. He has spoken promises over you. Deep down you believe
it will happen, but in the natural, it looks impossible. The odds are against
you. It’s been so long. No, God is saying, “What I started in your life I
will finish.” The key is to follow Abraham’s example and praise God while you
wait. That’s one way to grow in faith. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep
expecting. Grow strong in faith and see His promises fulfilled in every area
of your life!

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
