Habakkuk 2:3

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Smith Wigglesworth was converted when he was eight years of age. And immediately he felt God’s hand on his life. Grounded in Bible teaching by the Plymouth Brethren, he marched under the blood and fire banner of the Salvation Army, learning to win souls in the open air. He thought perhaps there would be an immediate manifestation of God’s call on him, But after many years of fervent Christian service, when it seemed nothing significant was happening in his life, he settled for a nominal Christian life while pursuing work as a plumber. But in his mid forties, God orchestrated events that will catapult him into a world acclaimed ministry. His ministry exploded in such miracles as seldom has been seen since the days of the apostles. Over 23 dead were raised through his ministry, and many healed by the mighty power of God. And from an ordinary plumber, who couldn’t read or write correctly, he became a world acclaimed preacher. Smith Wigglesworth was without doubt one of the most anointed men of God that has lived in recent times. And up till today his name carries weight in Christendom.  .

Indeed God is faithful Delays are not denials. Have you been called by God? Does it seem as if it taking a long time for that call to fully manifest? Keep serving faithfully, God has not forgotten your labour of love. Keep sowing good seeds, because your time of reaping is coming and in due season you shall reap if you faint not.

Do not get impatient or weary if you are not immediately getting the result you desire, keep sowing the seed required of you because harvest is coming, only he that endures to the end will reap, if he faint not. Those who enjoy multiplied blessings from God are those who go all the way with Him, In whatever capacity you are serving God, make up your mind to go all the way, and not stop halfway. Jesus said he that puts his hand to the plough and looks back is not worthy of His Kingdom. So do not get weary or give up midway, no matter the level of discouragement you may face. Because there is an appointed time for your reward and if you are not willing to go all the way you may not see fully what God has in store for you. .

When Joseph had the dream and saw his brothers sheaves bowing to his, it was a vision of what his future would be. He knew he would one day reign over his brethren but what he didn’t know was that it would take quite a number of years before the dream would come to fruition.

Whatever dream or vision God has given to you, trust that it will come to pass in its time. God is not man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. His promises are always sure. If you know of a certainty He has spoken to you then hold on to His promises. Do not be discouraged by the passage of time, or the circumstances around you. God will fulfill His promise to you in due time. . Just keep walking in obedience trusting Him all the way.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to follow patiently the path you have set before me so that I can arrive at my great destiny.

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
