TOPIC: PRODUCE SONS MEMORISE :  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 READ : Philemon 1:10-18 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he ...

WAIT MORE ON HIM! Thursday, September 27, 2012


Memorize: My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalms 130:6


When God decides to bless, He does not know how to be miserly. Hence, Psalms 68:19 says He releases loads of blessings on a daily basis.
Jesus taught us to ask for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11). When we ask for our daily bread, He gives us a load of benefits for that day. If only you receive yours daily, you will lack nothing but enjoy abundance on daily basis. May this be your daily experience from today! In Genesis 12:1-3, He did not only promise to bless Abraham but also to make him a blessing through which the whole world will be blessed.
To be a recipient of such blessing, you must be prepared to go to other nations. Before He made Abraham a channel that blessed the world, God asked him first to leave where he was. According to Matthew 28:18-20, if you want to be a blessing to the world, you must first go out into the entire world to preach the Gospel.

Salt is useless except it is put into soup. May you be an avenue through whom the whole world will be blessed. Moreover, when God visits, He does not do it casually. For instance, when He visited Abraham, He was in no hurry. He took time to sit, waited for the food to be prepared, ate and discussed.
He does not just pass by. This season, the Lord will visit you and spend quality time with you. The Lord wants to spend quality time with His children when He visits but most of them find it difficult to invest quality time waiting in His presence. God's visits respect the principle of sowing and reaping.
God could visit Abraham for a long time because Abraham had learnt to wait on Him. For instance, shortly before that divine visit, Abraham made an offering to God and waited on his offering until God sent fire from Heaven as a mark of accepting his sacrifice (Genesis 15:9-17).

Many offer to God but are so impatient that they leave without knowing whether He has accepted it or not. Many simply use faith to cover their impatience. When God accepts your sacrifice, offering, thanksgiving or gift, He will tell you so. It is in the place of waiting on Him that your greater blessings are delivered. It is while you wait that secrets that will affect you and your generation will be revealed. Wait more on Him!

KEY POINT: If you can wait on God, the world will wait on you. 
Bible in one year Ezekiel 37-39
