STAND

".....Having done all, to stand" Ephesians 6:13 (KJV)

When a farmer cultivates a land, he clears the land, puts in the seed and waters it. He then has to stand or wait till God brings the harvest. But in the process of waiting, he ensures that there is no weed that can destroy or make the harvest lean. Now the waiting time depends on the type of seed he planted. The waiting time for palm tree is different from that of maize (corn) and so also is the value of the harvest.

Sometimes you need to wait patiently to receive what you are believing God for, just like a farmer has to wait for his harvest time. And while waiting, you should not stagger in your faith or give way to unbelief which can strangle the harvest. The fact that you have not received what you are believing God for does not mean that you have been denied of it. Abraham had to wait patiently for God to give him his Isaac. The combination of faith and patience is what delivers the promise. (Hebrews 6:12).

Beloved, is there any need in your life for which you have prayed, fasted, sown seeds, confessed and done all you have been taught to do? The next thing to do is to STAND. Stand in your faith because you will soon receive your harvest of miracle.

I ask God to give you the grace to be patient. Your prayers are answered in Jesus name.
