“But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”- Isaiah 40:31

Sometime in 1987, a friend introduced to me, a book titled, “Tough Times Never Last, but Tough People Do! by Robert H. Schuller. The title of this book summarizes my sermon to you today. Tough time never lasts, because God is faithful and we are called to trust in God no matter how bad the situation might seem. Therefore, no matter what is happening in our lives and indeed how we feel about what is happening to us, we are called to claim the promises of God and to hold on to them. God promises that nothing will ever befall us that cannot be cured by Him. To wait on God, therefore, is to believe that God will act in His time and to trust and be patient. One very potent weapon to fight the devil during the period of waiting for God is to bless and praise God, even when we are afflicted, disappointed or are suffering. Are you currently feeling defeated by the devil; or are disappointed, sick, deluded and confused? The word of God is telling you today to wait on God; never give up. God will arise to strengthen you and to fix every of your broken piece. How do we wait for God? es and commands.
PRAYER
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, today, I take authority in your word and I declare I am strengthened by your spirit. Those who wait on you will reap bountifully in the land of the living. Therefore, I rebuke and silence every form of infirmity and weakness in my life. Thank you, father in Jesus name. AMEN
