OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - TUESDAY - 08/10/2013 - WAIT ON HIM BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



WAIT ON HIM

MEMORY VERSE
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Job 14:14

READ
Proverbs 27:18-19

Proverbs 27:18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

Proverbs 27:19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

MESSAGE
It is better to be conveyed while flying than to fly by self effort. The One who is carrying you in that flight is Jesus (John 15:5). He is the aircraft you will be riding in; hence Philippians 4:13 says,

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

This means you will be accomplishing things, attaining heights and breaking new grounds using His resources physical and divine energy, wisdom, guidance, etc. While you are spending His resources yours are intact. He will be doing the work while all you have to do is wait on Him. When He says you must wait, then you must wait. Many of us do not want to wait on Him but we want to reap the benefits of waiting. How can this be? You go to His presence and pray for five minutes and you think that will do. To get to the top, you must learn to wait on Him. You must separate yourself in a room and just wait on Him by praising and worshiping Him. Wait on Him by thanking Him and studying His Word. Sometimes, you may just worship Him and wait on Him in silence to hear what He will say to you. Be in no hurry. Waiting on God is one thing we must learn.

Sometime ago, one of our past presidents during his tenure said he wanted to see me. The appointment was for 11 a.m. but I was there by 10 a.m. He did not see me until I threatened to leave because I had sick people waiting for me. I could say so because he needed my help but if it was the other way round, I would have been prepared to wait until 10 p.m. Do you know that the Almighty God is greater than any president? Yet many of you can wait for days for an earthly king to answer you but find it difficult to wait for the King of kings to answer you. If you can wait on Him, He will definitely make it worth your while. Just one blessing from waiting on Him can put a stop to sorrow in a particular area of your life forever. From today, create time to wait on Him and gradually improve on it.

KEY POINT
Waiting on Him is a major secret for open doors.
