THE NEED OF THE HOUR


SCRIPTURAL READING: JAMES 5:7-12

TEXT: "Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord, Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it. You also be patient, establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand". (James 5:7-8).

COMMENTARY

In today's passage, patience is used to describe long-suffering, brave endurance under adversity, and the reluctance to yield under pressure. The virtue of patience is the ability to refrain from rushing into relationships. The patience we are discussing is not the same as stoicism, apathy, or indifference. Today, a believer is supposed to be patient no matter what happens in the world. Our patience will be richly rewarded, so let's not let it run out. We are supposed to wait for our Savior, who will bring a basket of blessings for His people, much like a farmer waits for the harvest season after sowing.

Those who are patient will outlive all of the problems of this life and will partake in the greater harvest when our master shows here, even though the problems may persist for the time being. Hold on, complete redemption is almost here. Sleep is induced by patience, particularly when it is exercised with hope. To succeed and establish yourself tonight, you will need a lot of patience. The fruit and evidence of faith is patience.

Never cut what you can untie, my love. Continue patiently.

Prayer Points:

1. Lord Jesus, give me the wisdom that goes with patience.

2. Lord Jesus, give me the grace to hold my peace while you fight for me.

3. May the reward of my patience show forth speedily and steadily in Jesus name.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
