◎ There comes a period in the life of a person which is the season of silence, this is also referred to as the period of waiting, trusting and believing. Everyone must at some point in their life go through this inevitable phase, so it is imperative to keep all hopes alive as you go on the journey.
◎ In your moment of silence, you may not see any visible change happening in your life because your unanswered prayers, unrequited requests and unrealised aspirations are staring at you glaringly. You must at this point stay focused and calm while you imbibe the spirit of gratitude because change is on the way.
◎ It might be of interest to note that Satan deliberately visits you in your period of silence to make you feel disappointed, disgruntled and dismayed over those areas of your life where you still need a breakthrough that you haven't received yet. He intends to succeed in distracting you from the work that God is doing behind the scenes and keep you trapped in ingratitude and despondency.
◎ Whenever you are in the will of God, you are given the grace to remain steadfast in Him because the storms of the vicissitudes of life keep raging at those times. The devil knows that you can't wait on God without having your supplications granted at the end of the wait so, his gimmick is to cause you to forfeit your harvest in worry. A person who is enjoined to wait needs strength to remain focused and joy to remain hopeful until the end. One of the virtues that God expects us to have before He changes our status is strength.
◎ There is nothing God will do in your life that doesn't require a level of strength to take delivery. A woman who is in labour above everything else needs strength to deliver the baby in her womb. This explains why the midwife keeps reiterating the need for her to conserve all the strength she can garner since a successful delivery is hinged on it.
◎ Strength is not just needed to weather the storm of hardship but also required to experience your breakthrough. That situation of your life is already a done deal because God settled the ransom for your redemption once and for all, as such, He wants you to have the resilience to enjoy and sustain your victory.
◎ There is a level of strength required in your planting season but it's nothing compared to the strength you need to have in your season of harvest. This is simply because a seed has the potential to produce a tree that bears fruits, so imagine sowing many seeds and forfeiting the harvest because you lack the strength to engage in the labour to take the yield.
◎ Little wonder, scripture reported in Isaiah 40: 31 that those who wait on God must of necessity have their strength renewed. That scripture didn't say that we would receive provisions for waiting since what God will do is a constant and how you receive it is your choice to make. Pray for strength because you need every bit of it for that shift that is coming.
