VICTORY IN WAITING

---

GAL 5:5 - FOR WE THROUGH THE SPIRIT WAIT FOR THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.

AND IN THERE, LINGER FOR A WHILE, AND THE WORD “WAIT” WILL STAND OUT AS A SUBJECT OR TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION. YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOKED UP THE WORD WAIT IN THE BIBLE, THERE WERE 160 USES OF A FORM OF WAIT. (WAIT; WAITED WAITETH. WAITING).

AND AS WE DISCUSSED AMONG OURSELVES WHAT WE WERE FINDING WAS THAT WAIT OR WAITING ON THE LORD WAS MANY TIMES FOLLOWED WITH BLESSINGS OR REWARDS FROM GOD IF WE ACT ACCORDINGLY. FOR WHICH MOTHER GAINS CAME UP WITH “VICTORY IN WAITING” AS THE TITLE. 

WHEN YOU THINK OF WAITING WE USUALLY THINK IN TERMS OF TIME. OUR GENERATIONS IS ALWAYS IN A HURRY. WE AS HUMANS ARE CONDITIONED TO TIME, STARTING FROM VERY EARLY AGE. SET THE ALARM BE ON TIME, HURRY UP OR YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE.. THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM. DON’T WAIT. BUT THE BIBLE RECONDITIONS US, TELLS US, THERE IS GOOD IN WAITING. BUT OUR MINDS OR THE FLESH, SOMETIMES FIGHTS AGAINST IT, AS WE LEARNED IN THE SAME CHAPTER 5 OF GALATIONS VERSE 17  

FOR THE FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST THE FLESH: AND THESE ARE CONTRARY THE ONE TO THE OTHER: SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD. 

SO WE PRAY. O LORD HELP ME. HELP ME O LORD TO WAIT. LORD I PRAY FOR MY VICTORY IN WAITNG. AND IF YOU READ ON IN THE BIBLE ABOUT WAITING ON THE LORD. YOU WILL FIND YOUR VICTORY IN WAITING.:

YOU BE THE JUDGE.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:54 THANKS BE TO GOD WHO GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

AND I AM SO THANKFUL, AS I THE LORD HAVE GIVING ME TO SAY THANK YOU JESUS, EVERY WHERE I GO, WHATEVER I AM DOING, A THANK YOU JESUS IS AUTOMATICALLY FLOWING OUT OF MY MOUTH  

IT FEELS WE ARE GAINING GROUND EVERY DAY AS WE MATURE IN THE GOSPEL. I REMEMBER I BELIEVE IT WAS IN ONE OF OUR REVIVALS, WHERE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS STATED, WE BETTER KNOW WHO WE ARE TO GOD.

WHICH MADE ME THINK OF THE SCRIPTURE 

ACTS 19:15 AND THE EVIL SPIRIT ANSWERED AND SAID, JESUS I KNOW, PAUL I KNOW, BUT WHO ARE YE?

SAINTS OF GOD, WE BETTER KNOW WHO WE ARE, WE BETTER ALWAYS PRAY AND WAIT ON THE LORD, WE BETTER HAVE FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD  AS OUR GODLY REWARD IS SHO NUFF DEPENDENT ON IT.

1. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AMEN  AMEN
