The Virtue Of Patience by ACKCITY: 4:44pm On Jun 03, 2020
Scripture Reference: “For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” - Hebrews 10: 35.




Patience is a spiritual force that keeps you from jumping out ahead of God even when you’ve seen something in the spirit. If you jump out ahead, you will be on your own. All your own abilities and strengths will have to be used to get the job done. You’ll work yourself into a burnout because you attempted a spiritual mission in the flesh. Then you get mad at God because what you saw isn’t working.

Impatience is deadly. The greatest mistakes in our lives will be due to impatience. God promised Abraham a child through Sarah but it wasn’t forthcoming and Sarah disbelieved. Abraham was cajoled into sleeping with Hagar, and Ishmael was born. That was the birthing of an unending problem. Impatience is deadly. We act foolishly when we make haste. Many examples remain in Scriptures of them that disbelieved and made haste. Their end was unprofitable. God works with time and He dictates when to carry out His majestic plans. There is no shame to them that wait for Him. I always remember the story of Chinese bamboo. After planting, for up to four years, it remains dormant, not much of encouraging growth. Then suddenly, during the fifth year, with the same process, it grows up to 90 feet. Actually, that is how God operates. When He gives a dream, He allows enough time of isolation and preparation.

Time spent preparing is never wasted. It was said of John the Baptist that he was “in the wilderness until the time of showing forth”. Time for preparation is not equal to the time of manifestation. We must respect our time of isolation. The difference between a ripe mango and an unripe mango is time. Unripe fruits can be devastating, but given time, it becomes sweet to the soul. He makes all things beautiful in His time. When it is your season, your shining can never be stopped. Wait, wait and wait! There is no shame to them that wait for Him.

Impatience is the driving force for most robbers, for they have refused to wait for the due process. The ‘get rich quick’ syndrome is a product of impatience; it has plunged many into hurtful deals. Seed, time and harvest will not cease; your seed is your future. Cultivate it until a fruitful tree is produced. But remember, this takes time and that time is the season of preparation. Until you hear the whistle, don’t play. Wait.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to walk in your perfect will. Let me keep in step with destiny. I want all things in my life to be beautiful. For in your time you make all things beautiful. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
