Consequences of not waiting upon the Lord.

"More haste less speed" is the only experience we will have in life as Christians when we don't wait upon Gods time. Let me borrow a leaf from the account of Abraham in the book Genesis 12:2 were God promised Abraham that he will be the father of great nations. The way God promised Abraham on this same day is the same way He has promised all of us who are descendants of Abraham and those promises must come through, if we can only wait upon the Lord. In Genesis 16, Abraham as a man decided to do things in his own way or to fast track to the fulfilment of the promise God made to him, but the consequences was so disastrous that all of us who are descendants of Abraham are still suffering from such decision made by Abraham. In Genesis 16:1-3, the bible recorded that Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham and He had a child through Hagar in verse 15; and this was not what God wanted of Him. Where I want you to focus is Genesis 16:11-12. If Abraham had waited upon the Lord Ismail wouldn't have been born and today there won't have been descendants of Ismail saddled with the responsibility of killing their follow humans like wild donkey and ensuring that the world don't have peace. But in everything whatever God said must come to pass so long as you kept your covenant with Him. The true child of promise came when Abraham was 100years that is after 25 years of the promise and is the child of promise, the child peace, the child of blessings, the child whose generation will maintain the covenant of God with Abraham forever and ever, the child circumcised on the eight day. I want you to think deeply about the decisions you make in life if it is in accordance with the will of God. You may want to get to your destinations as fast as you want, but the consequences may be everlasting. Abraham's promise was fulfilled after 25years that is how many of us sees it. But one thing we must know is that 1000 years is like a day in the eyes of God, therefore, His ways will never be the way of man since He must do things in His time. Hosea 12:6 encourages us to wait for God indefinitely. Those who waits upon the Lord are not those who are lazy, praise-singers, fornicators, adulterers, robbers in the name of preaching the gospel of Jesus (Yeshua), hypocrites and sycophants. Those who waits upon the Lord are not those who pays tithe from the proceeds of evil acts, stealing public funds, selling expired products, cheating others, sorting their courses or their ways to what they want, doing all sorts of things for money, running from one church or ministry to another for miracle or healing or protection. But those who waits upon the Lord are those who do their work with diligence, prudence, kindness, truthfulness, and acknowledging God in all their ways by doing right things right. Those who waits upon the Lord accepts all that comes to them with faith and ready to go were God may lead them to, people will mock them and challenges from families will persuade them to go astray but when they overcomes the victory will theirs. Psalms 27:14, 37:7, Isaiah 40:31, Jeremiah 14:22, James 5:7-8,Psalms 130:5, Micah 7:7,Galatians 5:5; have more to say about waiting upon God. We can only be truly successful in life by waiting upon the Lord for the fulfilment of His promises to us. I warn those who go to prayer houses, ministries, churches, deliverance centres, men and women of gods, to be very careful because anything other than what God has promised or destined of us will be very disastrous, we must learn from Abraham, Hagar and Ismail. Oh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who I am directly descendended from; via the blood of the eight day circumcision, I pray that you shall have mercy upon your children, give us the grace to wait upon you so that we may not part of the emergence of another Ismail(killing, violence, disobedience to God) but be part of the emergence of another blessed child Isaac (progress, love, kindness and holiness); so that your name alone may be praised and that you may be worshipped forever and that those who do not worship You may do so having seen the fulfilment of your promise to your children who patiently wait upon you; this I ask You Oh My God as your child and with those who worships You with all their hearts but not for what You will do for them; hear me oh God and remember your covanant with our ancestor, Abraham... He who has ears let him hear, Mark 4:9. God bless you as read this message, and put it into action.
