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 a British evangelist and important leader in early Pentecostalism. Though he was an illiterate plumber, he was mightily used by God.
Smith Wigglesworth was born in 1859. The year of his birth was at the height of the popular Dickensian character ‘Oliver Twist’.
This was the time when poverty plagued many homes in England and Smith was born into abject poverty. Though his parents were unsaved, his grandmother, a Wesleyan, encouraged him to serve God. At eight years of age, one day while in Church, Smith felt the touch of God and surrendered his life to Christ. His mother became his first convert.
At that young age, Smith felt the call of God. He became grounded in Bible teaching by the Plymouth Brethren. He marched with 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, it seemed as if nothing significant was going to happen in his life. So he settled for a nominal Christian life while pursuing work as a plumber. But in his mid-forties, God orchestrated events that would catapult him into a world acclaimed ministry.
His ministry exploded in such miracles and wonders 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. Smith Wigglesworth ended up as one of the most anointed men of God that ever lived.

Indeed God is always faithful!
Delays are not denials. When you have been called by God and it seems as if it is taking a long while for that call to fully manifest, you must wait for the Lord’s timing.
Keep serving faithfully because 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. Therefore 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 His 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 Word. 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 prepared through diligent study of the Word, prayers and fellowship with the Spirit. Surely as you walking in obedience trusting God all the way, the faithful One that called you, will soon do what He has said He will do.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to follow patiently the path You have set before me. Help me to maintain my spiritual fire and to keep trusting You until I see the full manifestation of Your promises in Jesus Name.
