DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  HEBREWS 6:12

(12)  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

FAITH AND PATIENCE!

Grace be unto you!

Incredibly true!  Faith without patience leads to failures;  unfailingly, faith with patience manifests blessings.

Case in point;  the LORD said to Abram, get thee out of your country, from your kindred, and your father's house, unto a land that I will show thee, read Genesis 12;  realize that Abram obeyed the LORD, without the idea of where he was going, journeyed from one place to another; followed his leadership, and through faith, perseverance, forbearances, by and by, he inherited the promises.

Also, on different occasions, Father Abraham's faith was tested by the LORD,  triumphantly, he overcame his testings, pursued the promises, eventually, received the blessings,  at a time;  the LORD appeared unto him, gave him a word of hope about his lineage, Genesis 15:4,  confirmed the birth of Isaac, cf. Genesis 17:19;  however, in both agreements, the waiting period in between the promises and the fulfillment of the covenants, lingered;  to the point whereby out of frustration, Sarah, Abraham's wife was impatient, gave him Hagar her maidservant to have a child; therefore, at times, waiting upon the manifestation of any covenant, can be a testing period by itself;  for, it is the time when the enemy releases his arsenals against the fulfillment of the promises;  therefore, if there is anyone among us, waiting for the satisfaction of a word of hope, be encouraged to trust the Lord. He is mindful of his words;  read Proverbs 3:5-6, and have patience, continue to stay on the course. 

Furthermore, Sarah, Abraham's wife, gave up on the promise of Isaac because it tarried, Ishmael was born, read Genesis 16;  because Sarah was impatient, to wait upon the fulfillment of the birth of Isaac, solved the issue through carnal thoughts;  until the present times, there has never been peace between the half-brothers; therefore, to say I have patience, is just a belief, patience has to be exercised through the sufferings of a waiting believer, believing, that the promise is real, worth the while, hold on to it, trusting in Jesus to receive the assurance;  eventually, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, read through Genesis chapter 21;  blessed assuredly,  if you have a word of promise from Jesus, and not from the lying spirits of Satan, trust him to bring it to pass at the appropriate time, for, he respects his promises above his name, and watches over them to perform;  however, the one out of the many aspects of God is, he can alter any of his plans, at any given time, according to his purposes..

Beloved, therefore, if you have a word of promise that has not manifested yet, pray, double check with the Holy Spirit about what is going on with the deal, you might be surprised with the outcome, faith with patience.  Jesus loves you!  Love your neighbor as you love yourself!  Amen and Amen!

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Rev. 3:13.  Peace and Love be unto you!  You are blessed, walk in your blessings!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Ecclesiastes 7:8  Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:  and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
