“I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry.” Psalms 40:1 TPT Every believer should understand and practice waiting on the Lord.  Your recovery in life, ministry, career and business might just be dependent on you waiting on the Lord for instruction before taking decisions.  Waiting on the Lord includes prayer, fasting and usually, patience which is where most believers miss it. God is the all-in-all who knows the end from the beginning. There is no risk in waiting on the Lord. As David found strength to recover all by waiting on the Lord in 1 Samuel 30:1-19, this season may you also find strength for exploits IJN. As David pursued after his enemies and recovered all they had stolen, so will you recover every lost opportunity and blessing IJN. Put God first always and wait patiently upon Him in every area of your life. He will never disappoint you. Wait on the Lord. You will surely testify IJN. Shalom!

“And I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus and to experience the overflowing power of his resurrection working in me. I will be one with him in his sufferings and become like him in his death.” Philippians 3:10 TPT The knowledge of God is first made evident through love. If you love God, it will show in the way you live and even interact with others.  God is calling us into an intimate relationship with Him which is preceded by growing in the knowledge of Him.  An intimate relationship with Jesus would lead to selflessness, humility, service to humanity, and total obedience to God. An intimate relationship with God would help you fashion your life very closely after the example of our Lord Jesus in all things.  The knowledge of God must bring us to the point of wisdom and enlightenment far beyond the ordinary.  Above all, the knowledge of Jesus must lead to overflowing joy and peace. I pray that your knowledge of Jesus will grow greatly this season IMNJ. Father, please help me to grow in intimacy with You, IMNJ. Shalom!

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV Many people of the world think they understand spiritual things. They look at the things that people do and start judging.  When next you hear unbelievers condemn the principles of God, don’t bother arguing with them; just say the truth you know and move on.  No one can understand the mind of God except through the Holy Ghost, so anyone who does not have the Spirit of God cannot know His mind. Pray that they should encounter Christ and also have the Spirit of God within them so they can understand the ways of God too. Father, please help me to understand you more and more each day through the help of the Holy Spirit IJN. Shalom!
