No More Indefinite Waits

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. Psalm 102 verse 13.

Do you want to be made well; get well? Please read John Chapter 5 verses 1 to 9, note verse 6 for details of what prompted Jesus Christ to ask this question.

Jesus Christ broke and destroyed the limitations of waiting indefinitely, usually over a period of time for the moving of the water; considering that only one person usually the first to step into the water got healed. So the other people described as a great multitude of lame, impotent, etc who could not step in immediately the water was stirred by an angel kept waiting; for yet another move by the angel. The wait was such that no one there knew exactly when they could get in which explains why the man who was healed by Jesus Christ spent thirty eight long years at the pool; waiting for the moving of the water, as well as anyone who could come to his aid and drop him in the water when the water was moved.

Fortunately for him, Jesus showed up and broke with tradition. The man did not have to wait for the moving of the water because the Creator of the water as well as the angel who stirred the water was there to make the man whole without the man stepping into the water. At His word, His spoken word and sent word which always accomplishes divine purpose, the man was healed and freed from the limitation of waiting endlessly. 

Feast on the Word of God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The beginning and end of success is the word of God engrafted in your spirit, soul and body. God gives and teaches us His divine principles for holy living in His word, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As we learn, internalize and abide by these principles stated in His word, they become part and parcel of us, directing and guiding us, alongside the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. That is why the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 119 verse 105 that your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

The word of God is dynamic and has power to transform a person on a daily basis. The answer to every challenge is in the word of God therefore fill your heart with the word of God and meditate on the word of God. If you hear instructions from God, trial and error will no longer be your portion in Jesus mighty name.  Please see Romans Chapter 12 verses 1 to 2. Therefore, feed on the word of God and you have wealth, the hidden riches of darkness stated in Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 1 to 5.

God watches over His word to perform His word and not out fears, worries and anxieties. At the beginning of the year, I asked God to help me sell a certain number of copies of my books, quite a large number determined by the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I would always check my sales report to see if I was making that quantity of sales. A number of times, I was worried because I required the money from book sales to pay my bills. But somehow, God kept paying my bills even before they were due in addition to giving me material things that made people think I had so much money. As I reflected on why there were no sales, the Holy Spirit made me understand that I was looking at the wrong place, visiting the sales report dashboard. He told me to look at the word of God, His precious promises to me concerning book sales in large numbers. He told me that was where I would make the sales as I daily thanked God for His unfailing Word, meditated on that Word and prophesied the Word over my books. I then realized why I had not made sales and also why I had not experienced victories in some other areas. Rather than look at the word of God and internalize the promises of God and make them real in my life; meditate on them and prophesy them, I was looking at the circumstances that assailed me which were really nothing to God. I was foraging on dirt – anxiety, fears, worries, suspicion when my focus should be on God and His word that does not return to Him void. I repented before God and asked Him to help me look at His word, and to believe His word as well as prophesy His word over my life and situation in Jesus mighty name.
