DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES MONDAY 26 APRIL 2021.
Topic: As You Wait.
Today’s Scripture: Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. James chapter 5 verse 7, (NLT). NEW LIVING TRANSLATION.
Message: God has put dreams and desires in every person’s heart. But most times, there’s a season of waiting involved. Maybe you’re waiting for a relationship to improve; waiting to get married; waiting for the resurrection of ministry, (the appointed time the grace of God upon minister’s calling becomes well known to everyone), waiting time for a promotion, or waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is spent waiting. But there’s a right way to wait and a wrong way to wait. Too often, when things don’t happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged or anxious and fretful. That’s because we’re not waiting the right way.
Notice that today’s verse doesn’t say if you wait; it says as you wait. The fact is that we’re all going to wait. It goes on to say that we should consider how the farmer waits—patiently and eagerly. We’re not supposed to sit around and be discouraged; we’re supposed to be hopeful, positive and full of expectancy! Today, no matter what you are praying for, expect things to change in your favour. Today could be the day that God turns it all around. As you wait with patience and expectancy, you’ll open the door for God to move. He’ll fight your battles, and you’ll see that abundant harvest He’s promised in every area of your life.
Prayer for Today: Father, today I choose to wait expectantly for You. I trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. I put my trust and hope in You knowing that You have good things in store for my future in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: Time of waiting could be very painful and frustrating. Pains and frustration would be prevented or removed if you bring the presence of God into your waiting situation. When God is involved, waiting time becomes pleasant time. It becomes time of strength renewal. Isaiah chapter 40 verse 31 (KJV) says: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”. You shall receive ability to patiently wait upon the Lord, fly on eagle’s wing and fulfill your destiny in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
