Have you ever been in that place where you feel like you have earned God's blessing, so it should start coming... Well I was there recently-I hope I have left there. I felt like I have prayed, praised, fasted, sown, given, confessed etc...
I mean I felt like I had all the bases covered. It’s like Pastor says some will not go except by prayer and fasting so I add fasting to my prayer. He says something like if the clouds be full it will bring forth rain, so I start to sow like mad in order to load my clouds, then they say something like after you have done all, praise brings down the hands of God, then you praise till ..........
I was at that bus stop recently. I had just finished encouraging a friend who's having difficulties in his marriage and the conclusion was along the line of 'pray together as a couple, there is nothing God cannot do...And the devil was like reallllyy??? in that way he mocks...and tears welled in my eyes. It feels like that sometimes, like he has stopped paying attention. He got me, at least for a few hours till God asked me what about the waiting. Waiting is as part of the ‘healing’ as the other ingredients.
I have been in many waiting rooms-both spiritual and physical. In the physical, the doctor prescribes all manners of things and of course as the patient, you try it...this therapy, that one etc...till all is tried then you start waiting. For all the therapies to work or IF they will work...that's the most difficult one of all...the therapy of waiting that no one can hurry or put a time line to...
Ask anyone who has waited in a physical waiting room and they will tell you how frustrating this time can be because it does not respond to man's need to continually control events.
The doctors’ prescriptions are not wrong in the same way that my pastors are not wrong. It’s just that to every matter there is a set time...
