Be Patience with God
Some years back, when God was helping us to build the Area 1
Church of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, the Office Complex at that time
needed about 10 Million Naira to complete, but we didn't have it. So, a
commercial bank approached us and offered to help us raise money to build it.
All that they required of us was to let them come after the Service every
Sunday and take the offerings and count them with our people until repayment
was complete.
But I refused and said that the offer could not be a subject of
contemplation at all, not even for a second. That was an insult, if God, who
owns it, would not build it, let it remain there. After a short while, God
provided the resources and we completed the project in His own way at his own
time without borrowing a dime. The truth is, we are not at that level now. That
amount of money the Bank wanted to give us then cannot fuel our generator for
one month now. As a person, if I am to give such an amount now, it cannot be
called a sacrifice.
Beloved, even though it looks difficult for you now, do not kill
yourself to make it because a time is coming shortly when what used to be very
difficult to achieve will become child's play to you. You must give God time to
work on your life. You must be patient with God to do what He wants to do with
you. The process God allows you to pass through is very important in the
building of your life. Therefore, follow God's process of building you with
patience and allow Him to work on your life.
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12
(WHAT WE SHOULD DO):
1. Be grateful to God and accept your level per time.
2. Be contented with what you have per time.
As you combine the virtues of faith and patience, may you step
into the realm of your inheritance in God in Jesus Name.
Dr. Paul Enenche.
