".....Having done all, to stand" Ephesians 6:13 (KJV)
Faith is like the posture of a farmer who, after planting the seed, must patiently wait for the harvest while keeping the field free from weeds. Just as the farmer trusts the natural process designed by God, we must trust God's timing and process in our lives. The Word reminds us, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31). Waiting in faith does not mean inactivity but standing firm, guarding your heart against doubt and fear. Consider Noah, who acted in faith by building the ark even when there was no sign of rain. He trusted God and waited for the fulfillment of the promise (Genesis 6-7). Likewise, the farmer and Noah teach us that faith requires active preparation, patient endurance, and trust in God's divine timing.
Remember Abraham, who "staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God" (Romans 4:20). He waited patiently, holding onto the promise of Isaac, and his faith was rewarded in due time. James encourages us to "be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it" (James 5:7). Even when the waiting seems long or the circumstances appear contrary, stand firm in your faith. Your labor in prayer, fasting, and confession is not in vain. As you hold your ground in faith, God is faithful to perform His Word (Numbers 23:19). May His grace sustain you, and may your harvest of miracles come in due season. Amen!
Prophetic word: The Lord says, "Stand firm in your faith, for I am the God who watches over My Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). The harvest you have prayed for is on the way; though it tarries, wait for it, for it will surely come and not delay (Habakkuk 2:3). Like the farmer waits for the early and latter rains, so shall you see the fruit of your labor, for I, the Lord, am faithful to bring it to pass. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, uphold you, and make you victorious. Do not give up in the waiting season, for your miracle is closer than you think. What was barren will bear fruit, and what seemed dead will come alive by My Spirit. I have heard your prayers, seen your tears, and My hand is moving to accomplish all I have spoken concerning you (Isaiah 55:11). Hold on, for I will do a new thing, and you shall testify."
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the assurance of Your Word and the unfailing promises You have spoken over our lives. Lord, grant us the grace to stand firm in faith, even when the waiting seems long or the circumstances challenging. Strengthen our hearts with the assurance that You are working behind the scenes to bring every promise to fulfillment. Father, just as You brought Isaac to Abraham and fulfilled Your Word to Noah, so let Your faithfulness be revealed in our lives. We declare that every weed of doubt, fear, and unbelief is uprooted, and we receive a fresh outpouring of patience and strength. Lord, let Your peace guard our hearts and minds as we wait. We decree that the harvest of miracles is coming, and we will testify to Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen!
