The Christian patience


 “And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;” 2 Peter 1:6

Patience is the capacity to maintain attitude, belief and position until a course of action yield results. For a Christian, patience is simply waiting on God. The promises of God cover you in all aspect of life, but you need a combination of faith and patience to experience the promise. Everything in life follows a process of time, patience is needed to complete the process.

“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12
“And it came to pass in process of time, that…..” Exodus 2:23

Be patient in prayer, in studying the word, in sowing your seeds, in investing into people, in investing in yourself, in your calling, and in the business or career that you have chosen. All these have great capacities to bring you unusual returns and blessed future but you must be willing to keep at it until the results are achieved. Never break the patient loop. The world is yet to recover from the mistake of Abraham when he impregnated Hagar. Don’t seek an alternative because you think God is taking too long. You are closer to your breakthrough than you think, be patient. More importantly, we will need patience in our walk with God to inherit the kingdom of God.

“And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash” 1 Samuel 13:11

You will get there in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh Lord, help me to combine patience with faith to inherit the promise in Jesus name.
