There is a time set for everything in this world, there is a time to enjoy, there is a time to marry, there is a time to have kids, if you miss your time it might take you a hell of a journey before you get back on track.
I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting. Joyce Meyer...
There was a prophet in the Bible named Habakkuk, he suffered severally and prayed severally but God responded only at His will. Your will is not the will of God. God always has a better place for us. Habakkuk 1 & 2.
You must learn to endure and wait and continue to wait and it will surely come to pass. It is not over until it is over.
What does it means to wait on the Lord
- Wait in totality.
- You must plant the seed and constantly nourish your seed.
- Be addicted to prayer. A prayerless Christian cannot see anything.
- Look upon God alone. Looking unto God the author and finisher of our faith. Look away from your problems but pray.
- You must remain steadfast in Him.
Danger of not waiting upon the Lord
Confusions will set in and you might eventually fall. Let me tell you a brief story here: A man who has been praying a lot about something from God, he waited on God but He didn't speak nor release the blessings. After 16 months he got frustrated and decided he was going to seek other help. In his search, he was directed to a herbalist and on getting to this herbalist house, the herbalist chases him away instantly telling him the atmosphere that follows him all around is too much and can destroy all the man's (herbalist) charms. He went back home feeling sorry for himself and cried to God for forgiveness.
Destruction might loom around.
Deceit will target you.
You might be connected to the wrong people if cares are not taken.
Real prophecy will look like a fake to you.
You might then backslide.
The will of God will be shattered.
Lastly, waiting on God is the Solution to fulfilling your destiny. Your mates Miggy be riding jeeps, don't be perturbed you will ride the latest and there will be old school. This post was previously published on my whaleshare account.

They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings like the eagle. The shall run and not be tired.
Sometimes, people feel tired. That's what makes us human but spiritually we must not be tired.
Yeah, you are right pastor. We are first spiritual beings, then human beings. Jesus Himself at one point got tired after he had attended to the multitude.
That's it. Excellente... Thank you for your contribution.
