Wait for Him for it!

One of the random courses I took in first year was an introduction to human psychology. This course was very interesting and I learnt a lot from it. One of the drawbacks of having a psychology course is having to write a test made by a psychologist. My professor mentioned that one of his colleagues did his PhD on how to set multiple choice questions for exams, and in my head I thoughy "am doooommmmeeddd!" Praise God I did OK in that course. One of the videos we had to watch was a study done on kids. They would take kids one by one in a room with no windows but with cameras for the experimenters to view the kids. The experiment was to give kids one or two marshmallows and telling them to wait for a bit longer. The incentive for waiting was getting 10 marshmallows by the end of the waiting time. Most of the kids took at least a bite out of the marshmallow and some went ahead and devoured it. Do you see yourselves in these kids, I know I do.
God is a father, a caring and a loving one for that matter. The revelation I got about the kids with marshmallows is that us as young adults and as adults go through those types of trails and experiments very many times in life.  Mind you both the options were good things one was just significantly better than the other, 2 Vs. 10 marshmallows. God gives you an option, He tells you as His daughter/son wait on me and you shall receive more than what you have at hand. He asks for your submission to His will, for patience on your end. “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Psalms 27:14.  He tells you to be strong and to wait for Him, because there might be some people that tell you “ you are not sure if the 10 marshmallows will ever come so better eat the 2 in front of you!” But you tell them, respond to them saying “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint” Isaiah 40:31. Add to that  by saying “ God has never failed me, its not in His character to be untrustworthy, so I shall wait on my God but thank you for the concern!”
Notes:
  • Wait on God and you will receive more than your eyes can see
  • Stay strong and keep on trusting Him
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Way of the Eagle

God will Fly Faster than you will fall..Then He will catch you! Qualities of an Eagle..we should have these things as Christians 1) An Eagle has Great Vision: It is easy to get lost without a vision 2)  An Eagle feasts only on Living things: We are alive in Christ, we do not need the dead things of our past 3) An Eagle is Faithful : We should be faithful in our relationship with our mates, friends, families and most of all in our relationship with God! When Does an Eagle Soar to the sky with its eyes set on the sun? 1) When a storm is approaching The Eagle sets its eyes on the heaven above as a storm approaches. We need to set our Gaze on Christ when storms come our way. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2 2) When its enemy approaches The Condor is Eagle's enemy and it knows the only way it can win is if the Eagle stays down (when the Eagle doesn't soar to the sky) The only way our enemy will win u...
