On Sunday I shared a word of encouragement to those who are currently in a wait.
Romans 8:28 states that “All things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose”.
I took the liberty to research the word purpose. Purpose in the Greek is prosthesis which means setting forth, intention or plan. It implies something that is intentionally decided and placed in advance- not random, accidental or an afterthought.
Pro means before or literally before the face of . This means God is absolutely intentional concerning you and every detail no matter how small, it matters to God.
One of the key things I mentioned during Sunday’s live is that there is a difference between waiting on God and waiting in God. In times of prolonged waiting, it is about our preparation and maturation for the prayer that is already answered.
If you feel like you have been waiting for something for a long time, I want you to think of the analogy where a man took his family to a restaurant whilst being on holiday. Upon arrival, they were seated. They noticed the family who arrived after them was being served their food first. So the man saw this and called over the waiter. He shared his disappointment and the waiter responded- ‘what that family ordered was already pre-made on the menu’. The man who had to wait had ordered the chef’s special, so it took longer because the ingredients were being made from scratch.
Whilst we know that God has already prepared everything concerning us, the wait is in fact about us being prepared for the promise. I shared some testimonials on how my steps were ordered by the Lord last week. It made me think just how intentional God is about me and others who I come into contact with.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray and I ask that You release your grace upon me to wait in You. Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind and I pray Lord shield my heart and mind from disappointment and hastiness. Father, help me to be patient in the truth that You are intentional concerning me and my life. Father God, I surrender to Your perfect will and way for me. Father I thank You that I never have to worry because You are in control. Father God I thank You in the name of Jesus Christ, that all things are working together for my good in Jesus Name I pray. Amen!!.
