Call of Settlement

 

Text: 1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)

 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

 

Whatever you are going through, is for some time, a season, or for a moment. If you remember the Joy that is set before us, you will learn to endure the stress now, nothing last forever. There is a moment of suffering which brings forth birth, not just perfection, but also establishment, strength and after that settlement. Your pain of today is a ladder for your crown tomorrow, do not give up because there is a firm assurance from God. Every product has an expiring date just like in Genesis chapter one, where the earth was formless and darkness was upon the face of the earth, but God swallowed all the emptiness with light. Also, for Jesus, the moment of suffering and trials came to an end on the cross and He said “It is finished”. Note, no matter the thickness of the midnight, the next minute is a morning, which is a new dawn. Beloved, God assures us there is a point of resolving any dispute and confusion, and note that a while can be any moment soon. All that Job went through came to a halt and his later end was much better than the beginning.  It will not be too long, before our generous God settles us. The delays and wickedness of the enemy are brief, no matter how long.

 

Psalms 90:4- For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.He is not late with his promises in the way we measure lateness. He is always on time but is patient with us and does not want anyone to perish; thus, what we consider as a delay is a RIGHT TIMING for Him. Do not push yourself to go ahead of His schedule because those delays may be a blessing in disguise. The famous evil shall be no more, it is temporary in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Lord, please help us not to be anxious by trying to assist ourselves without God in this delay moment, but instead wait for our restoration based on His timing, in Jesus name.

2.      Father, we need the grace to stand firm, so as to pass through this moment without drifting from the faith, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE:Friends, watch out because there is a corner with the expiring date of that life challenge.
